This past weekend was NBA All-Star weekend in Las Vegas. If you’re a sports fan, you probably already knew this. If you didn’t, you’re probably a girl.
As a kid I would love watching the All-Star games. The dunk contests. The 3 point shoot out. It was fun to watch. Now, I think it’s a waste of time. I will find more important things to watch (Futurama anyone?) or do. But there was a minor event the NBA held that I did want to watch: The Charles Barkley – Dick Bevetta show down! Dick Bevetta, a 67-year-old NBA ref , challenged Hall of Famer Charles Barkley to a race a couple of months ago. It seemed to be in jest, but snowballed to possibly the highlight of All-Star weekend. Check out the video below. Definitely worth watching!

I’m so glad you posted this I really wanted to see it. Barkley was talking a lot of shit on Jay Leno the other night. I’m just a little upset he won. I’m sure it feels so great to beat a 67 year old. Oh and by the way I’m very offended by the “girl” comment. I knew the All -Star Games were in Vegas this weekend.
I loved how Dick Bevetta’s right knee kept gushing blood throughout the post-race interview. Upon further review, his lack of air while diving toward the finish line made his knee hit the deck first. It was quite a gruesome sight to see….but then again, so was the actual All-Star game.
too damn funny! I was sure hoping that Sir-Cumference fell while backpedaling! It’s happened before…
