I would race Kuzma while he's wearing the long sleeve sweater. Whereas I wear an entirely too small turtleneck that shows off my mid-riff.

We race to the top of the Empire State Building in elevators that face each other and that are made of glass so we can see each other's progress. Every time another person gets on our elevator, we have to offer that person a bow and a breathmint. At the end of the race me and Kuzma revel in our shared experience and we become best friends.

I would like to race Brittney Griner. Anywhere. Any distance. Because then she would be FREE!

I'd challenge Syd Colson of the Aces to a mile sprint. I think I'd have a good chance if she's focused on getting it all on her TikTok.

I wanna run a full marathon with Juancho Hernangomez and pretend that I'm in "Hustle", training Bo Cruz to take his next step as an evolutionary player.

I'd like to run a 10K with Boban. I think it's the right distance where we both get a good work out in but also have time to stop and do some bits with the volunteers running the aid stations to keep the mood light.

Give me Russell Westbrook in the mile so I can witness a new WR when Rus hears all the doubters (2nd place is JE Skeets in a marathon)

I would race with Steven Adams, 50 miles into the woods, no hydration units, just going savage.

Is it a race if I just want Boban to just carry me while he runs?

I once guarded Kiwane Garris (28 game NBA career 97-98) in a high school summer league game. After I tried to pick him up at half court and he blew by me, I settled at the 3 point line and he still had a burst. Very few (even fringe) NBA players lack quickness

That said it’s got to be a longer distance. I’ll challenge Kawhi to a 1 mile run

Fantastic Bocklin painting!

Pop is an international treasure. There aren't many famous people that I'd be interested in meeting, but dinner with GP would be one of the great nights of your life.

If we're expanding this beyond current players (which I assume is acceptable with your inclusion of Chris Kaman), and my goal is to win, my answer is Mark Eaton in a suicide drill.

If we're restricting it to current players, and my goal is to win, it's Tacko Fall in a suicide drill.

If the goal is to have fun, it's Charles Barkley, Bavetta-style.

I want to race Jeff Green because I’ve never competed against an immortal.

I’d like to race Luke Korbut from the block to the 3 point line
