Haha, funny. "The longer it is, the better it is for me".
I'd still bet on Bavetta in 100 yards. Didn't commit to giving Barkley a jump to the foul line, or some such point?
Think they're going to do this during All-Star weekend, should be a hoot.

He's used to avoiding the spits of venom, so this was a nice change of pace in that sense.
Official Bavetta, forever remembered by so many Kings fans for his role in the controversial Game Six of the 2002 Western Conference finals, found a supporter in the front at Arco Arena on Saturday night.
"I'm betting on you, ," said David Carlson, 53, of Jackson.
Thank you, sir," Bavetta said. "I think that's a wise decision."
The game at hand was not the Kings-Nuggets affair, but the much talked-about footrace between Bavetta and Charles Barkley. The Hall of Famer and TNT analyst has been taking good-natured shots at the 67-year-old Bavetta on the air recently and challenged him to a sprint between the younger, rotund one and the older, but fit, referee.
Among his zingers, Barkley said Bavetta had "parted the Red Sea with Moses" and that his gravestone would read, "He keeled over while racing 'the Chuckster.' "
When Carlson contended that Barkley might weigh twice as much as the wispy Bavetta, Bavetta said: "Try three times. I'm only 160 pounds."
As for whether the race actually will take place, Bavetta wasn't sure. "I don't even know if this thing is going to happen," he said just before tipoff. "I haven't changed anything. I do my eight miles every day whether there's a race or not."
If the race is on, Bavetta has one stipulation.
"I want something with turns in it, not a straightaway (but) back and forth," he said. "The longer it is, the better it is for me."
Haha, funny. "The longer it is, the better it is for me".

Yea he did.. He said he would give him to the free throw line....... Implying a race to the other end of the court but he was not specific.........
Now he wants some twists and turns............
I think if they do it maybe a short one and a longer one.... Barkley might beat him in a shorter distance (or so would seem to think as well) and little doubt would run him into the ground on a longer distance...........
Either way I would take over the over weight Barkley..... He don't look like he has worked out or even ran in years...........
the difference i see from runnin in a straight line and one with alot of corners, is the straight line you are always thinkn of the length reachin to finishing line, while the one with corners you take it a corner at a time like living 10 secs a quarter mile......vtec kick in yo.
vtec kick in
Charles definitely ain't got no vtec under the hood.
I mispoke earlier, really meant that could take Barkley in 50 yards (the dash), and agree with shackO that maybe is nervous about (and possibly losing sleep over) giving Barkley a headstart and only going the length of the court. OF COURSE could get around orange cones and Barkley couldn't, duh!
no way in that old man runs 8 miles a day. I am 21 years old 6 ft 180 lbs and run about 2 miles everyday.... If I tried to run 8 miles a day, I wouldn't have enough energy to my at night.... REAL TALK! theres no way that man runs 8 miles a day and isn't dead yet....
Maybe he doesn't have a ?
U're only 21? I always though u were older. Baby
I doubt he even does run that long.... old fart.
Take him out as in trip him?
By the way you write, I always thought you were about 16-17 year's old. But I guess you can't have a " " until you're at least 20
8 miles is not that long of a distance...
I hope they do this... it would be pretty entertaining to see Barkley winded... again...
