Bavetta not even close. Have you seen Bavetta officiating games? He is in great shape for his age.

[G-Money]

cannot outrun charles barkley.......... i got my money on barkley


so I guess you like giving a way money then right?

[ponky]

it's a sprint...short distance, length of the court? hands down, bavetta

[kingsfan]

Bavetta. Chuck is so out of shape, he'll probably collapse before the starting line.

[T-Pain]

cannot outrun charles barkley.......... i got my money on barkley
ill put my vbookie money on it...

Kori you should do it! this would be great

[SAtown]

It depends what's on the end-line: a cheeseburger, or a bad call against the Spurs. Bavetta wins the latter

[stretch]

ill take Bavetta.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Chuck has no shot in hell unless Bavetta trips, and does a "help I've fallen and I can't get up" routine.

[johnpaulwall21]

if dick falls he would break his hip, i agree with fillmoe i say charley wins. it will be close but charles will win

[T-Pain]

now barkley is really gonna lose, TNT just showed him eating a donut

[johnpaulwall21]

shit his ass is always eating but hes got this undercontrol, i wish i could say the same with his weight issue.

[cornbread]

Apparently Dick hasn't missed a game in like 200 years. Dick may be old but Dicks got balls.

[johnpaulwall21]

good one bread with corn :lol he still wont win

[Trainwreck2100]

Have you seen Dicky work out before a game, he jumps on one leg fo like 15 minutes.

[johngateswhiteley]

i think you guys have this backwards. in a short race, chuck would win...i am almost positive. he has a lot more explosion in his body than bavetta. it doesn't matter nearly as much that chuck is out of shape if they are going to sprint the length of the court. if it were longer than that i'd have to give the edge to bavetta b/c he is in better shape.

...just b/c bavetta is in better shape does not mean he beats chuck in a short sprint...i don't see it.

[polandprzem]

Dick would whistle Barkleys traveling and you've got a winner ...

[dirk4mvp]

Both of them could beat Fillmoe in a race with both legs tied together.

[Kori Ellis]

When is the race?

[T-Pain]

When is the race?
its during the allstar events, exactly when im not too sure

[T-Pain]

i know the winner of the race gets money to their charity of their choosing

[Kermit]

dick probably could've beaten round-mound in a race when dough-boy was a player.

[mardigan]

Definately put all my vbookie on Chuck, Bevetta wont stand a chance

This is right. Barkley will beat him pretty easily. However, there is some distance at which Bavetta's stamina would take over and win.

[ShackO]

I heard Dick is going to even give him a head start.........

Chuck is gonna looZE but w/ an excuse...........

[angel_luv]

I like Barkley but I am not positive he will win.

This has been in the works for a few months, and I can’t believe it’s really happening. Charles Barkley and Dick Bavetta are going to have their foot race on Saturday. Here’s the press release:

Let’s get ready to stuuuumble!” On the evening of Saturday, February 17, former NBA superstar and current TNT basketball analyst Charles Barkley, 43, will challenge veteran NBA referee Dick Bavetta, 67, to a footrace during TNT’s coverage of NBA All-Star Saturday Night presented by EA SPORTS. The distance of the race will be 235 feet (78.3 yards), as Barkley and Bavetta will race baseline to baseline, and then to the half-court line of the regulation basketball court at the Thomas & Mack Arena. In conjunction with the race $50,000, $25,000 from the NBA and $25,000 from TNT, will be donated to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Las Vegas.

The initial challenge to race was issued on January 4 when Barkley subbed in for TNT game announcer Steve Kerr and made a rare courtside appearance with Albert for TNT’s broadcast of the L.A. Lakers @ Sacramento Kings game. During the first half of the match-up, in which Bavetta was officiating, Barkley made the off-the-cuff comment, “I can outrun Dick Bavetta right now, Marv.”

“Charles, let me say something to you, there’s no way you can critique the game the way you critique it if you cannot beat a referee,” weighed in Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star forward Kevin Garnett.

“It better be a short race, because if it’s an endurance race, I think Bavetta has got him licked,” said reigning two-time NBA MVP and Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash on Barkley v. Bavetta. “I’m sure Charles will try to make the distance just right for himself.”

If there's not a vBookie on this, there is no justice in the world.
