Jalen Williams RIPPED by Charles Barkley and NBA fans for bizarre postgame outfit after Thunder beat the Pelicans: 'Looks like a damn idiot - he must have known he'd play well!'

While Charles Barkley was impressed with Jalen Williams' Game 3 performance, he and several NBA fans got a kick out of his bizarre postgame outfit.

Following the Oklahoma City Thunder's 106-85 demolition of the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday, the sophomore wore an open-face mask with pearls and silver encircling the opening.

During the post-game show, Barkley let it rip with his commentary on Williams' choice of headwear.

'What the hell,' the NBA Hall of Famer exclaimed. 'That's a real outfit?'

'He must have known he was gonna play well,' he continued. 'He look like a damn idiot, but he played well. Come on, man. You can't just wear anything, kids.'

Aside from Barkley, fans also took to social media to mock the Thunder star's fashion statement. One of the top comments about the outfit boasts a fan claiming: 'He looks like he is being born.'

'Bro looks like a minion,' another added.

'He looks like a human pepper shaker,' a third chimed in.

While many found his mask humorous, Williams' performance on the court was anything but a laughing matter. In 35 minutes of play, Williams clocked in 21 points, nine rebounds, and five assists for the first-seeded Thunder.

The win gave Oklahoma City a 3-0 lead over New Orleans and the opportunity to sweep them out of the first round. The Thunder will look to close out the series when they meet on Monday night for Game 4.
