This won't happen, of course, but it WOULD be fun to see! If it is a short race (e.g., the length of the court), I would be stunned, STUNNED if Barkley did not win. He may be out of shape, but he was a world class athlete after all!
I have an out of shape friend who was one of the top scoring college basketball players in the late 80s. He can still beat me handily in short races -- he just has the natural speed and athleticism that I never had or will have. I run 25-30 miles per week during the winter and 45-60 miles per week in the summer and I can take my buddy with no problem at anything 1 mile or longer, but in the short races, the naturally faster person will win almost every time.
