On the contrary, for some, the real excitement starts only after their day job is done.

Charles Barkley's physical condition is indeed beyond question.

Yesterday he ate 37 hamburgers, this morning he nearly collapsed with diarrhea, and during the game he almost had an accident.

Yet he pushed through to achieve a double-double with 20 rebounds, ran back to the locker room for a shower, forgetting all about the loss and the near mishap on the court, and then in the late evening, he went to the visiting team's locker room to invite Gan Guoyang out for a drink.

Gan Guoyang shook his head, saying he had to get up early the next day to catch the earliest flight back to Portland, as their road trip had ended.

Barkley exclaimed in surprise, "Early? You mean you're going to sleep when you get back? My God, how can you sleep?"
