This is a fantastic idea. I hope that it is done right. I remember watching the old clips of the HORSE games from the '70s with Maravich, Westphal,Gervin,etc, and thinking not only how cool they are, but how they should bring that back.

This will show the skill level of NBA players more than that stupid skills challenge thing does.

too bad that neither Eddie or Ray Ray made the three point shoot out. I thought Rashard Lewis, Bibby & Daequan ****** Cook were weak choices, isn't cook injured??

The NBA has chosen Kevin Durant, O.J. Mayo and Joe Johnson to participate in the first-ever H-O-R-S-E contest during All-Star Weekend.

The contest will take place outdoors on Saturday in Phoenix before TNT televises the All-Star Saturday night festivities.

Players will have 24 seconds to execute their shots, and an NBA referee will rule if they're done properly.

Those are awesome choices imo.

I wish they would have done an 8 man tournament type deal instead of just three guys.

Yeah, that would be crazy, probably be a whole afternoon though. It is kinda weird it's 3 guys and not 4 too. Oh well, atleast they're trying

they changed the game to G-E-I-C-O. Pretty lame.

Maybe they didn't want to hear craig sager saying, Durant's got HORS.

Ok, bad joke.
