Russell Westbrook Shows Off Abs In Farcical Pre Game Fashion Show

Some guys just have it all. Not only is Russell Westbrook a leading light in the NBA, boasting a host of accolades, records, and titles, but it turns out he’s also a high-flying fashionista with a six-pack to die for, which he showed off with hard-earned pride this weekend…


The NBA may be full of up-and-coming Aussies looking to make a name for themselves in the bright lights of the NBA, but this weekend one star proved that it’s still the Americans that are holding down the style game…

Russell Westbrook, the 9-time NBA All-Star, 2-time NBA scoring champion, and a former NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) that’s known for his athleticism, explosive scoring ability, and his unrivalled ability to rack up triple-doubles – made quite the impression when walking in for the Clippers v Suns game.

Striding into the Footprint Center, Westbrook wore a yellow co-ordinated shirt and shorts set with black floral detailing,complete with Doc Martens, a gold watch, and statement necklace.

Most notably of all, however, was the fact his shirt was totally unbuttoned, leaving his enviable torso on display for all to see, including the “Inside the NBA” panel, who all came away stunned.

Former NBA star Charles Barkley was left feeling self-conscious after catching a glimpse of the Clippers guard as he walked in ahead of the game against the Phoenix Suns. The TNT match analyst let out an audible “damn” upon seeing Westbrook’s washboard abs.

But he didn’t stop there. Immediately afterwards, Barkley hit the deck and started doing crunches, apparently determined to match Westbrook’s immense physique, before saying “I can’t remember the last time I could take my shirt off in public”, drawing laughs from his co-hosts.

Fans were similarly stunned and wasted no time in taking to Twitter to express their invariably strong feelings, both about Westbrook’s outfit and Barkley’s hilarious reaction to it:

It appears that Westbrook’s bold style choices paid off, with the Clippers winning over the Suns by 5 points, finishing 115-110, thanks in no small part to a heroic fourth quarter from Westbrook.

Sadly, yellow really isn’t my colour. Even more sadly, I lack the requisite number of abs to pull off this look. However, there’s a lesson for us all here: if you’re feeling down about your body, let Charles Barkley know – he’ll hype you up no end.
