WATCH: Charles Barkley's hilarious twirl in 'TAJs' leaves Inside the NBA crew in splits

It's just the second week of the season, but Charles Barkley had the "Inside the NBA" crew in splits on Tuesday night. Barkley showed his new jeans to his co-hosts Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson, who had a good time roasting him for it.

In the video below, Barkley was wearing new black jeans along with brown sneakers. He showed it off by spinning like a fashion model but almost lost his balance trying to do it.

O'Neal teased his fellow basketball Hall of Famer by asking if he had surgery to improve his behind. "Diesel" even pointed out that "Chuck" was wearing "TAJs" or tight-a** jeans.

"What are those?!" Smith asked.

"What are you doing?," Johnson followed up after Barkley's spin.

"BBL Chucky. You got a BBL this summer, Chuck? ... That's some TAJs, baby. Tight-a** jeans," O'Neal said.

"Inside the NBA" is in its final season after the league signed a television deal with Amazon, ESPN and NBC Universal. The NBA didn't agree an extension with Warner Brothers Discovery, which has the rights for TNT Sports. WBD even filed a lawsuit against the league to try and delay the new broadcast deal.

The crew isn't expected to make the jump to a different network, given Ernie Johnson's loyalty to the network. Johnson previously covered baseball and golf, while Charles Barkley is one of its highest-paid analysts. Barkley will likely continue covering March Madness, as well as other TNT sports shows.

The Round Mound of Rebound is a great television personality, so the network will likely find a way to be on a program one way or another. Shaquille O'Neal has his business ventures and podcast called "Big Podcast."

As for Smith, he had previously tried to become an NBA general manager. He also signed on to be an ambassador for the NBL in Australia last year, as reported by ESPN.

Charles Barkley roasts Dwyane Wade's viral statue

Dwyane Wade was honored by the Miami Heat on Monday, unveiling a statue of him outside the Kaseya Center. Wade was captured in his iconic "This is my house" gesture, a fitting pose for the statue of the greatest player in Heat history.

However, it was widely panned by fans due to its non-resemblance with Wade. A lot of memes and jokes were made about it on social media. Even Charles Barkley roasted the statue on Tuesday's episode of "Inside the NBA."

"It's a great honor, but they've got to take that thing down," Barkley said. "If you made an ugly statue that's what it would look like. That thing's awful. ... The statue was so bad they had to put his stats behind it so you know who it was."

Wade knows about the jokes and the memes but doesn't care about any of those. He's happy with the statue, and as long as people want to go and see it, he has no problem with it at all.
