Charles Barkley was left speechless and ashamed of his dad bod after getting a peep at Clippers guard Russell Westbrook‘s abs.
Westbrook arrived at Footprint Center in another questionable outfit ahead of LA’s road playoff game against the Phoenix Suns.
Appearing ready to hit the beach rather than the court, Westbrook showed up in an unbuttoned yellow camp collar shirt, matched with a pair of shorts showcasing a similar print and no shirt to hide the cut abs.
Westbrook’s clothes (or lack of) sparked envy from the “Inside the NBA” set.

Charles Barkley, after nearly a quarter of a century on TNT, is still making use of the candor that made him a popular interview during his playing career.
Case in point: Sunday evening, when he sharply criticized the NBA for starting Game 1 of the Timberwolves–Nuggets first-round playoff series at 10:30 ET—or 8:30 local time in Colorado.
“I have a problem with that night game starting at 10:30,” Barkley said when presented with TNT’s schedule for the day. “I do have a problem with that.
The shot had barely counted, bouncing three times before settling through the rim, when Austin Reaves let the emotion pour out of him. “I’m him,” bellowed Reaves at no one in particular, though 18,000-plus stunned fans inside FedEx Forum likely felt it in their direction.
The Lakers took Game 1 of its first round series against Memphis and whoa, boy—the Grizzlies could be in some trouble. Anthony Davis was dominant. LeBron James was efficient. Reaves and Rui Hachimura combined for 52 points. Meanwhile, Ja Morant missed the last six minutes after landing hard on his right hand.

Giannis Antetokounmpo exited the Bucks’ playoff clash against the Heat in the first half on Sunday and did not return to the game. Milwaukee’s MVP hopeful suffered a lower back injury while absorbing contact from Kevin Love, who was attempting to take a charge, at the rim.
Despite initially remaining in the game, Antetokounmpo was seen heading to the locker room with the medical staff shortly before the end of the first quarter.
After the loss, Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer indicated the team is going to monitor Antetokounmpo and see how he feels on Monday.
Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant ran off the court holding his right hand during Sunday’s Game 1 to the Los Angeles Lakers, but Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins told reporters that X-rays came back negative, and that the club is “taking it one day at a time.
Austin Reaves was one of the main catalysts behind the Lakers’ Game 1 win against the Grizzlies in their first-round playoff series. The second-year breakout star dropped 23 points as Los Angeles stole a victory on the road, and he drew some major praise from teammates after the game, including LeBron James.
Speaking on Reaves’s breakout season, James indicated to reporters after Sunday’s win that he’s not surprised by the 24-year-old’s performances.
“I knew from the first practice… that he wasn’t going to be a two-way player for long,” James said.
Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was ruled out for the remainder of Game 1 against the Heat with a lower back contusion, the team announced.
