Its a race! Its a race!

[MaxFly]

I honestly think that **** Bavetta will win...

[Attila]

Dumb ass.

[VCDrivesAPorscheToWork]

i wonder how much "Krispy Kreme" Barkley weighs!

[LakerRaider]

I don't know. It could go either way.

[Jailblazers7]

Im gonna go with Chuck he has to have at least an ounce of athleticism left but what might ruin his chances is the length of the race.

[raiderfan19]

btw what are the exact rules for this thing? i know that whenever i race a smaller guy that i think can outrun me i just cheat and hold him till almost the end of the race then throw him backwards at the end. is there anything in the rules preventing chuck from doing this?

[KIWI]

Dumb ass.

no need to go there dude:no:

[Jerz Netz]

I would hate to be Charles and loose.
i hope he loses so he would shut the hell up. he talks way too much

If stating the obvious was an IQ test you'd still be borderline retardo.

Prediction please! :cheers:

this is gonna be funny:oldlol:

Actually that thread was made before yours so you STFU. :)

I got Charles winning.

Nope. And its "lose" not "loose". Dumbass is one word not two. :rockon:

[Jerz Netz]

this is gonna be funny:oldlol:

would be hilarious if barkley trips + falls on his face:cheers:

[raiderfan19]

anyone got the official rules to answer my question? i got chuck anyway but im just curious.

[bigboi_baller]

If stating the obvious was an IQ test you'd still be borderline retardo.

Prediction please! :cheers:
D!ck wins in a landslide.

They said he runs about 5 miles everyday, even game days.

Sir Charles probably hires someone to bring him tubs of ice cream.

[Wudstock]

I don't know who's going to win cause Barkely knows that he has to win because he talk too much and alot of people might lose him respect little bit or mocking him that he doesn't like it.

Bavetta does for a living and he never tired to running back to foward cause that his job and even 67 years old.

Ummmm.....I'm going stick with Barkely.

[Attila]

anyone got the official rules to answer my question? i got chuck anyway but im just curious.
I don't think there are any rules. But it's approximately 100 yards that they are running.

[KIWI]

Nope. And its "lose" not "loose". Dumbass is one word not two. :rockon:

:roll: :roll:


anyway if charles is chasing a donut he'll win

[Fatal9]

Barkley will win. It's a sprint, not long distance. 70 year olds can't sprint.

[Jerz Netz]

anyone know how far they have to run?

[ThaKid]

when is it???

[raiderfan19]

I don't think there are any rules. But it's approximately 100 yards that they are running.
i wouldnt be remotely suprised to see chuck grab him then. id try to run and if i thought there was a chance it wouldnt work id grab him.

[MaxFly]

Barkley will win. It's a sprint, not long distance. 70 year olds can't sprint.

I've seen Barkley run... He can't sprint either... :confusedshrug:

[LakersDynasty]

Charles will win, avatar bet anyone?

[Attila]

Barkley will win. It's a sprint, not long distance. 70 year olds can't sprint.
The guy is 67.

[Take Your Lumps]

That was the worst Sammy Davis ever.

[All Net]

charles will cheat and push **** down.

[Jerz Netz]

when is it???

i think its coming up in a couple of minutes but you know how TNT drags things:confusedshrug:

[Jerz Netz]

Charles will win, avatar bet anyone?

i would but as you can see i'd probably lose:(

[brokenthumb]

when is this race supposed to go down? tonight...tomorrow night?

[LakersDynasty]

i would but as you can see i'd probably lose:(
Haha I lost an avatar bet too as you can tell.

[bjtrdff]

Later tonight.

I heard the race was 2 and a half court lengths. But earlier tonight they said 3 and a half.

I think Chuck is screwed.

Too bad, his all star picks alone make me want to root for him.

[Wudstock]

when is it???


Before 3 Points Shootout Contest

[DCL]

this is getting really f'n boring. it's a 4-5 hour show, but there are maybe only like 10 minutes total worth paying attention to.

[3stat2]

Oh man this will be good...

But what the heck were they thinking, that was the worst introduction ive ever seen. Seriously, people with blue heads banging on drums and throwing balls around???

[Fatal9]

I've seen Barkley run... He can't sprint either... :confusedshrug:

I am not saying Charles is in great shape but a 44 year ex-NBA player can definitely sprint faster than a 67 year old, no matter how great of shape he is in. I think we are all underrating Charles here.

[Jerz Netz]

Oh man this will be good...

But what the heck were they thinking, that was the worst introduction ive ever seen. Seriously, people with blue heads banging on drums and throwing balls around???

loll that was pretty bad. a lot of people like the blue man group though. i heard they were pretty good:confusedshrug:

[jjswifty]

he got a sticky,but he was the last one to create the thread. :confusedshrug: :oldlol:

[Take Your Lumps]

loll that was pretty bad. a lot of people like the blue man group though. i heard they were pretty good:confusedshrug:

People said the same thing about Riverdance and Lord of the Dance.

Lesson learned.

The intro was wack, but Blue Man Group is pretty good.

[Kujo]

My moneys on Bavetta. This going to be hilarious. :oldlol: Chuck will never live this down if he looses.

[Penny37]

Anyone know what time this is going down?

[RainierBeachPoet]

it wont even be close--- bavetta by 10 ft

[Attila]

I still got Charles winning.

[Jerz Netz]

Barkley's not even going to finish. he'll probably fake an injury when he's far behind:pimp:

[Attila]

It's up next.

[Noob Saibot]

[RandomBalla55]

This should be comedic gold.. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[hitmanyr2k]

Bavetta has the game face on. Barkley is toast :oldlol:

I so want Dick Bavetta to win...


:roll: :roll: @ DMX being played in the background for Chuck... is this a boxing match?

[bigkingsfan]

Haha best event of the night so far, exceeds the hype!

[raiderfan19]

[Noob Saibot]

This is a bigger upset then Charlotte beating Dallas in the NBA finals.

[pete's montreux]

Bavetta is bleeding.

[Jerz Netz]

[MaxFly]

Dick Bavetta's bleeding...

Poor Dick is bleeding...someone get the man a band-aid.

[Take Your Lumps]

[pete's montreux]

Cool that they're giving money, too.

[TMacsOneGoodEye]

That was alot of fun.

[Noob Saibot]

now i wanna race a 44 year old Michael Jordan.

[Xsatyr]

"Two black jack hands" classic

[kentatm]

its really sad that the best thing so far this All Star Weekend wasn't even the NBA's idea.

[space]

what's that thing on D!ick's leg?

[bokes15]

I was really surprised by how slow D!ck Bevetta is...

[Diesel J]

:roll:

[raiderfan19]

is there ANYONE who thinks that old slow ass man should still be allowed to ref nba games? That was the point the whole time.

[Wudstock]

i wish the people in the skills contest tried as hard as dick bavetta with the dive at the end.


THANK YOU!!!! :cheers: :cheers:

[Attila]

Ya I saw his knee.

[hotsizzle]

:oldlol: sh!t was hilarious.

[hitmanyr2k]

I'm just glad both guys came out of this with no severe injuries. You never know what you could pull or tear in situations like these at their age.

[Fatal9]

Barkley is hilarious. Finally something entertaining tonight.

[space]

LMAO at the last part :lol:

[rknine15]

dick's knee was bleeding after he dove:sleeping

[kentatm]

Barkley is hilarious. Finally something entertaining tonight.


for real. this whole weekend has been terrible.

[nashforprez]

i thought that it was going to be something gay like charles is disqualified for false starts

[MaxFly]

At least Mary J. Blige looks less of a hot mess than in the past...

[yobore]

Lotsa respect for Bavetta if he had been about 5 feet closer he would have got him with the dive.

[XxNeXuSxX]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!. btw this proves the point was right all along, that old ass man should be fired on the spot.

Are you actually being serious?

[TMacsOneGoodEye]

Mary J ruining one of the greatest songs of all time.

What an uninspired performance by a great artist.

[Xsatyr]

Are you actually being serious?

Sadly enough I think he is. Lets make that race a little longer and see what happens.

[raiderfan19]

Are you actually being serious?
it was funny and entertaining but its obvious that that guy is nowhere near in good enough condition to ref an nba game.

[XxNeXuSxX]

Sadly enough I think he is. Lets make that race a little longer and see what happens.
That's f*cking ignorant as hell if he is.

[ElPigto]

You guys need to lighten up and enjoy the weekend. This is my 11th year in a row that I watch NBA All-Star weekend, and although it isn't the best of the best, I'm still enjoying it and making the best out of it.

I know it gets boring after so many years of watching it for many of you all, but just try to make the best of it.

[LakerRaider]

The race between Charles Barkley versus D!ck Bavetta was entertaining.

[raiderfan19]

Sadly enough I think he is. Lets make that race a little longer and see what happens.
thats not the point. THe point is hes too damn old and slow.

[SCREWstonRockets]

This was an entertaining segement. Good to have some comic relief on a night of sports.

[XxNeXuSxX]

Why? All you have to do is jog up and down the court, he wasn't even out of breath like Charles. Seemed plenty good enough to me.

67 v.s 44 lol

[different107]

bavetta went all out with that dive at the finish...he even cut his knee...not bad at all for being 67

[Skywalker]

5 miles a day? I call BS

he ran one football field and couldnt beat an old out of shape Charles Barkley, who backpedalled the last 7th of the race. please. raiderfan is right and to disagree is WRONG. he must be losing SOME eyesight by now anyways

after those 100 yards, he was obviously getting tired too, you could see it

[NYKnicks914]

the race was a sprint... I don't doubt that Bavetta can run 5 miles no problem, probably at a sub 7 minute pace too

If he were to race Barkley on a straight away or around a track, even for a half a mile, it wouldn't even be close

Bavetta would woop him

Bavetta has endurance

20 years younger Barkley has the short distance speed

lol but if you heard Bavetta afterwards, he challenged Chuck to a rematch. I say finals week, outside, on a track. And make sure they got an oxygen tank on hand for Charles:cheers:

if he could keep up exactly the same pace for a full mile it wouldnt be 7 minute pace, hes slow as hell. I dont think he could break an 7.5 second 40.

[Bourne]

If you think he should be fired because he didn't win you are one dumb ****.

[raiderfan19]

If you think he should be fired because he didn't win you are one dumb ****.
it has nothing to do with winning or not. it has to do with how obviously fuking slow he was. if he had lost and both him and chuck had been fast fine but they were both slower than a damn 5th grade youth league team.

[nashforprez]

bevetta is still a good ref teh league doesnt have many of those left btw i dont think you cna fire people based on their age

[SsKSpurs21]

raiderfan doesnt like bavetta because Jerry Stackhouse doesnt like him... "explicitive D!ck Bavetta!" - Jerry Stackhouse after the a Spurs/Mavs game. :roll: SA sports radio shows where quoting that the entire series! :oldlol:

[heavensdevil]

2 things...

why did they become lil wayne and baby?

and ... ***** leg was bleeding...:oldlol:

[wang4three]

Definitely the most entertaining event last night. I was rolling on the floor with all of Barkley's false starts, backpedalling, and the complimentary kiss afterwards. My friend TiVo'd it so we were watching replay after replay. Funny as helll.

Also, people saying Dick should be fired are nuts. An entertaining 100 yd dash is no gauge whether he should work another day or not. It's like the Lakers trading Kobe cause he couldn't make a chest pass during the skills competition. Please.

[kwajo]

:oldlol: @ people saying that Bavetta should be fired because he isn't the best sprinter... Guy almost beat someone 13 years younger than him yesterday... I guess Barkley should be fired as well because he's unattractively fat...
probably a typo, but I'll say it anyway; 23 years younger not 13 :)

[kaiteng]

If it was a 1 km race, I'm pretty sure Dick's gonna win.....

[gb8]

Just saw the race, ***** dive at the end was hilarious, but that guy indeed needs to lighten up a little bit.

[chauzer]

for anyone that missed it:

Chuck looked pretty good out there he smoked Dick.

Props to the Chukster & Bevetta for putting on a show and for a good cause too.

That dive by bevetta was straight heartfelt man...

barkley would have beaten him by 20 feet minimum if he didnt turn around. dick is slow as hell.

I wonder why :rollingeyes:

The race was still funny espically the romantic end :rolleyes:

Charles looks fully suprised by the kiss bavetta planted on him, his mouth may havve been open from being out of breath so bad.

[insidehoops]

Bump

[Rake2204]

I was watching 2007's All Star Weekend today and watched this showdown for the first time in years. The Charles Barkley/Dick Bavetta kiss remains perhaps the weirdest moment I've ever seen in TV history. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9twwa9DvE1U

[Rake2204]

Still classic.

"We're gonna give.... (pauses to look at total on giant check).... two blackjack hands to charity."

Why something this interesting hasn't happen more in recent All-Star Weekends?

that kiss
