So, what we've surmised here is that Charles Barkley doesn't wear pants on national television. Instead, he prefers what appear to be wide-bottom khaki dad shorts.

Just look at those things billow. And the white sneakers? They really pull the ensemble together.

His longtime partners, Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith, must not have been able to take it any more and had to call him out.
