“If I Had a Body Like Russell Westbrook, I’d Walk Around Naked”: Charles Barkley Loses Control Over Brodie’s Pre-game Outfit

The last time Los Angeles Clippers’ Russell Westbrook appeared in a yellow camp collar shirt with its buttons open and a matching pair of shorts under it, showing off his abs, Charles Barkley started doing crunches on the sets of Inside the NBA without saying a word about Brodie’s outfit.

Also, that was the only game (Game 1) that the Clippers won in the series. Russ came into Game 5 with a similar outfit but different color, and Chuck had something to say this time. Something Sir Charles-like.

Charles Barkley would walk around naked if he had a Russell Westbrook-like body

Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal are the most popular basketball analysts, more for the entertainment they provide than their breakdown of the game. And Chuck does not want to slow down on that anytime soon.

The man literally said he would walk around naked if he had Russ’ body on live TV with millions watching.

“If I had a body like (Russell Westbrook’s) that, I’d walk around naked,” said Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA.

Sounds pretty much like, “If my grandmother had wheels, she’d be a bike”.

Now, it might come off as a joke to some, but I believe the man a hundred percent. Even if he had Shaq’s body, he would walk around naked, let alone Brodie.

Can Russ be as good as the last time he came in a similar outfit?

Surprisingly, he has not. Not up to 1st quarter of Game 5 at least. By the standards he has set for himself in the series, Westbrook looked off to start the game Tuesday evening.

As the Suns could keep the Clippers just two points down at 32-30 by the end of 1st quarter, Russ contributed to none and had just 2 assists and a rebound. But we know he can come alive anytime.

Let’s hope he does and give us another blockbuster series in the first round.
