Charles Barkley Races NBA Referee Dick Bavetta (Full Performance)
Спорт
“Hey, I can outrun Dick Bavetta right now,” Charles Barkley told Marv Albert during an early season TNT broadcast.
“I believe Dick would beat you in a footrace,” Marv Albert countered.
“I can outrun Dick Bavetta right now, Marv.”
And that's how it all began.
By the 2007 NBA All-Star break had arrived, the stage had been set. Wedged between the Skills Competition and the 3-Point Shootout, 43-year-old NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley faced 67-year-old NBA referee Dick Bavetta in a footrace. In the end, a hot dogging Barkley won by a hair, two blackjack hands (aka $50,000) was donated to the Boys & Girls club, and Barkley & Bavetta shared a kiss that's left basketball fans flummoxed for over a decade.
For what it's worth, Complex.com published a story on the Barkley-Bavetta showdown in 2017 and provided TNT host Ernie Johnson's take on the kiss itself:
"Here’s the deal. If you know Dick Bavetta at all, you’ve probably been kissed by Dick Bavetta. I’ve been kissed by Dick Bavetta. He’s that kind of a guy. He comes up to you after he hasn’t seen you for a while and he gives you a kiss. No, that doesn't surprise me at all."

I'm only 30 seconds in and can't contain my laughter. Between "Krispy Kreme" Barkley, question marks as his weight, and then Shaq with his slot machine shoes, guaranteed to make you win.

Just 3.5 laps was definitely to Barkley's advantage. If they had done 7, Bavetta would have won!

This is just a reminder that even though Barkley was long retired and out of shape, he was still a pro athlete, who can outrun many of us regular dudes. This was the Scalabrine Challenge before Scalabrine.
Reggie was really happy with Chuck’s win.. Kenny didn’t seem very thrilled about Chuck’s victory.
Charles is a 50x over millionaire he don’t need to do this but he’s the main man, what a guy

Is this the ref he kissed? Lol Edit: Yes it is😂😂
Research it. It's called respect and admiration to love one another. Nothing gay or anything, but, forming a bond. All of the known world greets their loved 1s.

Right, these guys need to get over it. That was a genuinely nice moment. Old people kiss people. Chuck was nice and kissed him back, didn't make a big deal about it. Like you said, forming a bond, showing camaraderie.

Right, people these days are quick to call something gay or sus or probably sus as hell themselves. Chuck is secure enough of his own masculinity to kiss and show love for another man.

OH MY GOD
I still don't know why they kissed... 😳😳
The only thing that would have made this even funnier is if they had ran some oxygen out to Barkley at the end of the race. Damn, he needed it!
I missed this race back then, but I'm so delighted that I've seen now! This was such an enjoyable family friendly affair... kudos to Sir Charles Barkley and Referee Bavetta's participation in such a cool & classic filmed event that will always shed good humor and fun for years to come! SHALOM SHALOM
I remember watching this live on TV. Was hilarious.

Why didn't the ref run harder sooner? It wasn't a marathon.

Did they perform a drug test? Barkley definitely had a steroid injection right before that race lol, that’s the only way he could win…not that training regimen of his stuffing donuts in his fat face.
