Bavetta loses to Barkley in a thriller!
20 02 2007Or as much of a thriller as you can have in a foot race between a 67 year old referee (who is in great shape for a 67 year old!) and the consistently overweight Charles Barkley.

Maybe Dick needs to retire if he can’t beat Barkley in a foot race!
Dick definately needs to retire… and it has nothing to do with a footrace.
I don’t care if he’s running a 4.4 second 40 meters… I want to see the vision test results.
Maybe we could encourage him to move to the NFL!
If Earl Strom was chasing them Dick would have won!
Famous incident (From Wikipedia.org)
Strom was officiating an NBA game between the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets with Dick Bavetta as his partner for that game. The game was close at the end and Earl made a last-second call against the Nets, ending the game with a win for Sixers. Suddenly Dick Bavetta ran across floor to the scorer’s table, saying, “No! No! I got a push off against McGinnis!” Earl Strom then challenged Bavetta, “Are you over-ruling my call?” “I got pushing off right here!” Bavetta insisted, which reversed Strom’s call and the Nets wound up with the victory. With the game over, players were walking to their respective locker rooms when the door to the referees’ locker room flew open and Dick Bavetta came staggering out. His uniform was ripped and he was wearing a big welt over his eye, running to get away from Strom. Strom stepped out into the hallway and hollered after Bavetta, “You’ll take another one of my (bleeping) calls again, right, you (bleep)?”
I guess they don’t work on the same crew anymore!
I think Earl died of cancer in 1994.
Sir-cumference!!! I’m ROFLMAO
