i dont consider them baggy. i consider them oversized. they are supposed to be this way for a few reasons. 1) guys who wear them while playing Basketball need shorts that are extra big and roomy for running up and down the court and shooting the ball 2) guys are supposed to wear shorts that fall off their butt (sagging) and expose their boxers 3) last, basketball shorts should only be worn by muscular guys, because guys who are muscular and wear oversized basketball shorts are so sexy

It is because the temperature at ice level is very low and the players need the extra warmth from bigger clothing. It is not as major a problem nowadays, but hockey organizations like to look like the old times.
