On last night's "Inside the NBA," Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal wrapped up their long-awaited "shirt-off" competition.

The two former NBA stars walked on stage and disrobed, competing to see who was looking slimmest.

Barkley was first, calmly unbuttoning his dress shirt. Shaq followed, Hulking off a tank top to display a painted-on six-pack.

What better way to start a morning than a couple of 40-somethings shirtless?
