The Round Mound Of Rebound, Sir Charles Barkley. Oh My!

Even people who don't care for sports seem to get a kick out of Charles Barkley. The former NBA superstar was recently voted into the NBA Hall of Fame, and he was also voted one of the 50 best players to ever play the game. These days Charles hosts a sports broadcast on the TNT network that is as much about sit-down comedy as it is sports, and the biggest laughs this week have centered around a challenge foot race that Sir Charles is going to run against a 67 year-old NBA referee named Dick Bavetta. Dick took umbridge at an on-air comment Charles made about his age, and even though Charles said "I have nothing against old people. I hope to be one someday," the two men have agreed to settle matters on the basketball court by running a race. The winner gets $50K donated to the charity of his choice. It's all in good fun, and thanks to YouTube here are some fun clips for everyone to enjoy and join in on the laughter.
