Why did Viktor Krum Catch the Snitch in the Quidditch World Cup Final?

A hotly debated topic among Quidditch fans: Why did Viktor Krum Catch the Snitch in the Quidditch World Cup Final? We brought in Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal, two of the best broadcasters around, to weigh in on the question.

The Verdict: There's no way Bulgaria could have scored enough points to catch up to Ireland even if Krum waited to catch the snitch. It was a lost cause.

Charles: Hey Shaq, did you see what Viktor Krum did in that Bulgaria vs. Ireland game?


Shaq: Yeah, I saw it. He caught the snitch and ended the game.


Charles: I can't believe it! He caught the snitch even though Bulgaria was still 160 points behind!


Shaq: What's the problem?


Charles: But if he had waited just a little longer, they could have scored more points and maybe even won the game!


Shaq: Come on, Charles. You know as well as I do that there's no way Bulgaria could have scored enough points to catch up to Ireland. It was a lost cause.


Charles: But still, 150 points is a lot. If Krum had waited, they could have won.


Shaq: Charles, think about it. It's like trying to catch a bus that's already left the station. It's not happening.


Charles: (laughs hysterically) Oh my god, Shaq, that was a terrible analogy.


Shaq: (angrily) What's so funny?


Charles: (still laughing) It's just that your analogy is so off base.


Shaq: (enraged) Charles, you're just being ridiculous now. Stop laughing and take this seriously.


Charles: (still laughing) I can't help it, Shaq. Your analogies are just too funny.


Shaq: (furious) Fine, Charles. If you're going to be like this, I'm not going to continue this conversation. (Storms off)


Charles: (still laughing) Okay, Shaq. I'll see you later. (Continues laughing to himself)
