Charles Barkley absolutely roasted Zion Williamson on ‘Inside the NBA’ for his recent workout video

Charles Barkley is absolutely hilarious, man. He is the draw that gets most people to watch Inside the NBA.

Whether he’s doing the roasting or getting roasted, Barkley is good for more than a few laughs during every show. On Tuesday, one of his targets was Zion Williamson.

Williamson is just starting to get active again after fracturing a bone in his foot during the offseason. He couldn’t work out because of it, obviously, and has just now finally begun to really work out. He recently progressed to the point where he could run 5-on-0 drills, but he still isn’t expected back for another couple of weeks.

A video surfaced of Williamson doing some simple workouts on the court last week and, well, let’s just say it’s pretty clear he hadn’t been able to work out for a while. He didn’t look like he was in game shape.

Charles Barkley had the most hilarious way of describing that.

“It look like me and Shaq had a baby.” 

Fam. You can’t help but chuckle at that one. Chuck broke the entire set with it. Shaq had to get up from his seat because of it. He wasn’t done, though. “It looks like me and you had a baby…,” Barkley told Shaq. “He’s eating good in New Orleans.”

Man. Can’t say I blame Zion. The food in New Orleans hits a bit harder than most places. I’d probably turn into a beignet if I played for the Pelicans.

This shouldn’t really be a concern to Pelicans fans. Williamson hasn’t been able to work out at all. This is a natural reaction. And as he does, he’ll get in better shape for a game.

But, man. This is still pretty hilarious.
