Looks like Charles Barkley was feeling a bit sluggish after back-to-back NBA games on Thursday night. 

The former Phoenix Sun was caught heavy-lidded during the "Inside the NBA" broadcast, leaving the others to take it upon themselves to poke fun at the sleepy bear.

Shaq called it "Chuckolepsy" before making his own impression:

"Y'all bored me, man," Barkley shot back, adding, "Once 'Scandal' was done, I was done for the night."
