Even James Harden’s pregame outfits are getting roasted these days.
The embattled star’s 0–5 start with the Los Angeles Clippers has earned Harden plenty of internet hate lately. But that criticism spread to his fashion sense during a hilarious moment on TNT’s Inside the NBA on Tuesday night.
Harden was shown walking into the arena pregame wearing a baggy striped outfit. That was a stark contrast to Nuggets star Nikola Jokić, who had just been shown looking cleaned up in a suit. Kenny Smith shouted out Jokić, saying “That’s how you go to work,” and that set up Charles Barkley for a hilarious roast.

"That's how you go to bed,” Barkley said, producing plenty of laughs from the rest of the Inside the NBA set.
Kenny: "That's how you go to work."

It’s the type of priceless moment we’ve come to expect from Barkley and the rest of this crew, and Harden tends to make himself an easy target with wild looks like this one. Fans, of course, loved it.
Barkley is the best 😂 https://t.co/WWJ5u3D7qI

Harden did have his best statistical game since joining the Clippers on Tuesday, with 21 points on 7-of-15 shooting, so maybe the pajama-like look is here to stay.
