The NBA season tipped off with a noticeably slimmer Charles Barkley behind the broadcast desk. Barkley, 62, showed off his weight loss progress on the ESPN debut of Inside the NBA on Wednesday, October 22, much to the delight of his cohosts. "You did lose weight," Kenny Smith told Barkley, as Ernie Johnson remarked, "Look at this guy." Barkley thanked his deskmates for their kind words and jokingly gave a "shout-out to my doctors" at Ro, the telehealth service that promotes a GLP-1 medication that Barkley has used to aid his weight loss.
