Russell Westbrook is known for having one of the wildest wardrobes in the NBA, and Charles Barkley brilliantly trolled the Los Angeles Clippers star over one of his latest outfits.
During TNT’s pregame coverage of Game 5 between the Clippers and Dallas Mavericks on Monday, Barkley complimented Kyrie Irving for showing up to Crypto.com arena looking clean with a black suit. Barkley said “that’s how you go to work right there.” Westbrook was shown immediately after wearing a pink stocking cap and pink tank top.
Without missing a beat, Barkley quipped “that’s how you go to bed.”

The comment was hilarious, but it came back to bite Barkley. TNT’s producers quickly dug up an old photo of Barkley that showed the Hall of Famer showing up to a game in an outfit that was not all that different from Westbrook’s. Barkley admitted that was “a bad decision.”
“That was a bad decision on my part.”

Westbrook’s wardrobe selection was tame compared to some of the stuff we have seen from him in the past.
