Charles Barkley Grills Russell Westbrook For Another Hideous Outfit
Inside the NBA commentator Charles Barkley isn't a big fan of Russell Westbrook's eclectic fashion sense …
Wednesday's Game 5 between the Clippers and Mavericks featured another wild Westbrook outfit, inspiring Barkley to throw some jabs Russ' way.
Showing up in a pink, floppy hat and a tank top, Barkley found Westbrook's look more fit for bedtime than primetime. The TNT broadcast highlighted Westbrook's ‘sleepytime’ fit, knowing Chuck would go for the alley-oop if it meant dissing Russ' fashion.
"That’s how you go to bed right there, damn," Barkley said, reacting to Westbrook's look.
The TNT crew threw the critiques back at Chuck, displaying a similarly all-pink look from Barkley's playing days. "That was a bad decision on my part," Barkley reacted.
WATCH:
The Los Angeles Clippers expect Westbrook to ‘button up’ his game and help regain momentum in their playoff series against the Mavericks.
After a dominant Game 1 performance without Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers looked prime to eliminate Dallas in the first round. Since that win, the Mavs have won two to be tied with LA (2-2) heading into Game 5. Teams that take a 3-2 lead in a best-of-seven series move on to win their respective series 84.8 percent of the time (251-45).
Last season, Barkley nearly lost his mind when Westbrook showed up to a game with his ‘eight-pack’ on full display in public.
Russ has responded to Barkley's jabs, previously calling Chuck the ‘worst-dressed’ of the Inside the NBA crew.
