Tuesday was the 15th anniversary of the 2003 NBA rookie transition program photoshoot, which gifted the world the iconic photos of former Milwaukee Bucks guard T.J. Ford in extremely baggy shorts.

Ford never intended on taking his photos in those shorts, though. As he explained on Twitter, the Bucks gave him a uniform meant for a player who was 7-feet tall.

The Bucks eventually found Ford a uniform that fit.
