Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel Green in the popular sitcom, ‘Friends, watched the NBA. Yep. Even after its run for 10 seasons, the show continued to arrest eyeballs. In one of the episodes, Rachel, along with Monica (played by Courtney Cox) and Phoebe (played by Lisa Kudrow) fangirled over a Utah Jazz player.

In the episode, Phoebe was curious about the players’ attire. “Whatever happened to the cute little shorts they used to wear? “, asked Phoebe, seen holding a basketball with NBA written on it. Jennifer Aniston, aka Rachel, immediately squeals when the Utah Jazz point guard comes to the scene. She further pointed to him and said, “Ah! There comes John Stockton. He still wears the short shorts“. She was also seen to be blushing over this fact.

John Stockton had a 19-year-long illustrious career. He was a 10x NBA All-Star. He was a 2x Hall of Famer. Stockton has many records in his name as well. He was also known for his short shorts.

The “Stocktons” also outlived the baggy shorts that the league adopted after a while.

He made a fashion statement, without even realizing it. Of course, it was reported that though others criticized his choice; he, however, embraced it. Stockton made tight and tiny shorts a trend.

Jennifer Aniston was a fashion icon herself!

Her infamous character in Friends has inspired a whole slew of looks thereafter. But she was mostly known for her hair.

She was the fashion icon on the sitcom as well. Rachel’s clothes were always looked at with much interest and specificity. Probably just like Rachel swooning over Stockton, it was reported that an NBA player had set his eyes on her.
