Chris told E!: "I don't think there is anything to defend. It's called short shorts, isn't it? It's supposed to be short."

"Corduroy short shorts. I mean, it's a vibe. It's the best vibe. It's like a Tom Selleck vibe. It's like a '70s surfer vibe. I prefer that than the long [thing]," he continued.

He tripled down on 'em: "It's like showtime. Lakers. Would you rather see them with the short shorts and Magic Johnson looking like a basketball player and athlete, rather than wearing some sort of capri or something on the floor? No, so, I'll be wearing the short shorts."
