Charles Barkley Makes Suns Prediction Based on Chris Paul's Pregame Outfit

Chris Paul’s pregame outfit ahead of the Suns’ second-round playoff clash vs. the Nuggets drew a hilarious reaction from Charles Barkley.

Cameras captured Paul entering Ball Arena wearing a backward snapback, sunglasses and an unbuttoned cardigan on top of a white tank top.

Upon seeing his outfit, Barkley couldn’t help but make a comparison to Russell Westbrook, while dropping a hilarious prediction about Paul’s performance against Denver on Monday night. 

“Chris Paul think he Russell Westbrook tonight. He gonna have a good game,” joked Barkley of Phoenix’s point guard, sparking laughter from the rest of the Inside the NBA crew.

When it comes to pregame outfits, Westbrook is no stranger to testing out some unique styles, unapologetically displaying the wide range of his wardrobe. Paul took a page straight out of the book of Westbrook on Monday, rolling into Denver exuding confidence ahead of Game 2. 

The Suns were defeated 125–107 in Game 1, during which Paul struggled. The 37-year-old provided 11 points and five assists while shooting five for 11 from the field across 32 minutes. 

Paul could use a bounce-back game on Monday, and based on nothing but his pregame outfit, Barkley boldly backed him to have a big night in Game 2.
