    Smith expects Yao-basher Barkley to pay off bet Thursday

    America's long national nightmare is about to begin. In the wake of Yao Ming's 20-point performance Sunday night against the Lakers, Kenny Smith will require Yao-basher Charles Barkley to osculate his gluteus on national television.

    And yes, that is as frightening as it sounds.

    Smith said today he will make Barkley live up to a bet the two made Thursday night on TNT's Inside the NBA show. Barkley said that if Yao scored 19 points in a game this year, he would kiss Smith's behind.

    Payoff time, Smith said, will come during halftime of TNT's broadcast of the Rockets-Mavericks game Thursday night.

    "I make people pay their debts," Smith said. "Charles will pay his debt to society, no question about it. He will pay his debt, and it will be on camera.

    "Charles goes to Las Vegas a lot. In Vegas, you can't leave the table until you pay your debts."

    Smith also hinted he has further humiliation in mind for Barkley but would not elaborate.

    "Charles even called me today, but I'm not answering his calls until Thursday," Smith said. "I'm not giving him any way to get any kind of hint about what I have planned for him."

    The wager grew out of Smith's assertion that if the Rockets are to return to the playoffs, Yao will become the team's best player.

    "Charles went bananas over that," Smith said. "I wasn't knocking Steve (Francis) or Cuttino (Mobley), but I was saying that if the Rockets are going to win and get back in the playoffs, it's the big guy that's going to make it happen."

    Smith researched the first few career games of Timberwolves center Kevin Garnett, who entered the NBA out of high school, and found that Garnett had similar numbers to Yao's over the first 15 games of their careers.

    "One thing jumped out at me, and that was the fact that Garnett had a 19-point game in that span," Smith said. "I said that Yao will have a 20-point game and bump his numbers up, and Charles said that if Yao Ming scores 19 points, he would kiss my (behind)."

    Despite the frightening picture Barkley's payment plan will present to little children and sensitive viewers, Smith is resolute.

    "America," he said, "is ready for this."


    Ahh, thursday is going to be fun.

    I think people are blowing this entire thing out of proportion but it should be interesting.

    Nope, he learned from mistake, he would say "if Yao scores 30+ points , grabs 10 boards, gets 10 assists and 8 blocks, I would kiss myself (behind)."

    A GREAT ALTERNATIVE For Charles!!!

    The thought of seeing Charles being embarassed is tempting. However, I realy don't think America will enjoy seeing Kenny Smith's rear. I have a perfect solution to satisfy the PG-13 audience.

    WE all know those fund-raising "Kiss a Pig" contests in high schools. How about for Thursday, bring in a hog convieniently named Kenny. Make Charles "Kiss a Hog Ass". What do you guys think??


    Hopefully, Charles will only kiss the hog, and not eat it.

    Charles will simpy smooch on Kenny's behind, but he'll keep his pants on for sure. Maybe Kenny will have some fake cheeks strapped on, sort of like Tom Green had....:eek:

    RocksMillenium, this is one of those things that SHOULD be blown out of proportion.

    Behad, I hope you've got your video capture in gear... if you can get it, BLOW IT UP!

    I can see Kenny buying a donkey and bringing to the set for Charles to kiss.

    It would be even more nastier if it was Kenny doing the kissin' ass...

    I surely wouldn't want to see Barkley's ugly, fat, pimply a$$...
