Charles Barkley had a hilarious reaction after seeing Russell Westbrook's pregame outfit for Game 5 between the LA Clippers and Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night.
Westbrook was wearing a gray polo shirt, showing off his abs for everyone to see. Barkley, who has not been a fan of the former MVP's wardrobe over the years, had something to say about his outfit.
On "Inside the NBA," Chuck praised Westbrook for maintaining his physique. He added that if he had a body like Westbrook, he wouldn't be wearing anything.
"I'll be honest," Barkley said. "If I had a body like that, I'd walk around naked."

Not the first time Charles Barkley was in awe of Russell Westbrook's body
Tuesday night was not the first time Charles Barkley was in awe of Russell Westbrook's body. Barkley was left speechless before Game 1 between the LA Clippers and Phoenix Suns about a week ago.
Westbrook came into a building wearing a yellow outfit that showed off his abs. Unlike his outfit on Tuesday, wherein he had one button in, his abs were completely exposed.
"Oh my. Woah," Barkley said. "That man is dangerous. ... Woooh, man. I can't remember the last I can take my shirt off in public. ... Damn! That man right there."
Seeing Westbrook's body inspired Barkley to start doing crunches on "Inside the NBA." Kenny Smith helped him by grabbing his feet as the Chuckster began his journey to have a flat stomach.
