“What The Hell Was That”: Charles Barkley Rips Apart Jordan Clarkson’s Jack Sparrow Ensemble

Sir Charles is appalled at what he saw. And the game had not even begun. Jordan Clarkson entered the Crypto.com Arena in an unusual treasure-seeking attire. It obviously got reactions from the guys watching in the TNT booth. Everyone who follows the Utah Jazz star knows he’s something of a style icon. And he’s just fulfilling fans’ desires to see him embody the iconic character. Even if it hurts the sensibilities of Charles Barkley.
The random stroke of luck and genius nod to Jack Sparrow didn’t strike Clarkson when he was in a regular Jazz fit today. Utah lost 99-131 to the Los Angeles Lakers with very little contribution from First Mate Clarkson.

When you’re in Lakers territory, you better bring the swagger. Jack Sparrow embodied that win-to-save-your-life attitude and Jordan Clarkson is channeling it. He wore a stereotypical pirate hat leftover from Halloween over regular clothes but it was enough to get everyone’s attention.
The NBA on TNT crew were disarmed watching LeBron James enter the arena in his regular fit till Clarkson appeared. He was in his all-black baggy clothes and the matching swashbuckler hat over his signature hairstyle. The analysts burst out laughing as soon as Barkley yelled, “What the hell is that?”

Someone even rightfully inserted a “All hands on deck,” comment because both the Lakers and Jazz are going to have to bring it. But Barkley was fixated on Clarkson’s style. He even yelled, “Halloween was two weeks ago.”
Clarkson just needs to inform Chuck that fashion doesn’t take a day off. Fans have always drawn parallels between his style and one of Johnny Depp’s most famous characters. Their Halloween wish is to see Clarkson in full Jack Sparrow regalia.

He came close with the hat and rum-less gait. But it wasn’t enough to guarantee the Jack Sparrow success rate. Clarkson played a total of 24 minutes and recorded seven points and two assists.

Omer Yurtseven led the team with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist throughout the 17 minutes he played. Their combined efforts couldn’t take them over the Lakers with LeBron James making league history with 39,000 points in his entire career at this game.

Walking the tunnel is NBA’s very own runway and everyone makes a style statement. Clarkson did too and broke the Internet. With Barkley’s help, his swashbuckling style statement is outshining the defeat.
Barkley, whose fashion sense isn’t all that, is quick to note the style deviants of the league. When James Harden walked into the stadium in a striped number, he yelled, “That’s how you go to bed.”

Chuck believes LeBron’s nearly $4000 beige jacket is how one should dress. But he also thought he could pull off Tyler Herro’s red shirt, calf-length shorts, white vest, and black shades. So note, don’t take fashion tips from Chuck.
Sir Charles has only one way to prove he’s got some style chops – borrow Clarkson’s headwear. How would you score Barkley’s style?
