NEW YORK (AP) -- H-O-R-S-E has galloped into the NBA's All-Star weekend.
The popular shooting contest will be part of TNT's coverage of All-Star Saturday night, the network announced Tuesday. Three NBA players, who will be revealed later, will take part.
The competition will take place outdoors at the NBA's All-Star Block Party in Phoenix on Feb. 14. The dunk contest, 3-point shootout and skills challenge are later Saturday night, and the All-Star game is Sunday.
If a player makes a shot in H-O-R-S-E, the next competitor must make the same shot or receive a letter. Players will have 24 seconds to execute their shots, and an NBA referee will rule if they're done properly. Dunking won't be allowed.
A player gets an 'H' for his first miss and is eliminated once he has all five letters of the word.

I would be laughing my ass off if they put Lebron in it. :lol::lol::lol:
 
This may become one of the more attractive parts of all star weekend if they get the right players every year. Kobe and Lebron, you do what I do type. Should be interesting.

I think Horse is a good idea for the All Star weekend. I think the NBA should also add a 2 on 2 tournament.

2-on-2 tournament isn't a bad idea....another one would be a legends vs current players 2 on 2 tournament like Dwade and Jordan vs Kobe and Magic that would be sick.

Nate would be good for the horse competition , but yea Kobe, Wade and Carter would be fun to watch.

it would be hilarious if at the tip of the trophy is a horse

Yea I agree with putting kobe in. Maybe he can jump a moving car and take a jumpshot at the same time. Lol.


What I'm wondering is- will the players decline the offer to play HORSE?

Good comeback from Durant. That was fun, but they need to get better players. Next year-Kobe, D-Wade, Durant.:crossfingers:

They used to have HORSE back in the day...It was a bracketted tournament and they'd air it at like half time and shit when it was already recorded. I remember seeing Pistol Pete vs George Gervin
