These races are highly entertaining to watch as there are no rules and regulations to the starting time of the sprint. Over the years, the Jet has won most of the races. However, recently Chuck and Shaq have been catching up to him.

As the panel would discuss the game between the Knicks and the Sixers, Shaq would suddenly turn sides, indicating he was about to run towards the board. Smith, who was on the other side of the panel seemed reluctant at first but would join in.
