Russell Westbrook Mocks Charles Barkley’s Fashion Style

Russell Westbrook was named an All-Star reserve and scored 45 points in Oklahoma City’s victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night.

Russell Westbrook Mocks Charles Barkley’s Fashion Style

Following the game, Westbrook was asked questions regarding the All-Star Game and the Thunder win, but then TNT’s David Aldridge decided to ask the guard a quirky question: his opinion on Charles Barkley’s fashion style.

“He’s the worst dresser on that [TNT] panel — by far,” Westbrook said. “Chuck is terrible!”

Barkley didn’t seem too offended by Westbrook’s comments, though.

“I might be in first place, but he’s a close second,” Barkley said on the broadcast.

Westbrook laughed at an old outfit Barkley sported in the early 1990s that was essentially a shiny purple tank top and shorts set, a pair of espadrilles and a man purse. The Thunder guard then said that even today Barkley isn’t the most fashionable person in the NBA world, to say the least.

Barkley also criticized Westbrook’s pre-game outfits during last year’s playoffs. He reacted to some by yelling: OH MY GOD. What the hell? What the hell is THAT?!”

The former NBA star and commentator also poked fun at Westbrook’s rustic wardrobe choice for what to wear before Thursday’s game. Westbrook was wearing a short and tight pair of ripped jeans, a wrinkled flannel shirt and a white bomber jacket.

“He lives in Oklahoma,” Westbrook said. “He probably got a tractor in the backyard. He probably was plowing something earlier today.”

In September, Westbrook went on NBC’s The Tonight Show and Jimmy Fallon asked him about Barkley’s opinions on his style and Westbrook simply responded with a snarky “Who?”
