"TNT today announced the addition of the popular basketball shot-making game H-O-R-S-E to its programming lineup during its four days of NBA All-Star 2009 coverage from February 12-15, in Phoenix, Arizona. The H-O-R-S-E game will air live during TNT’s two-hour Inside the NBA (5 - 7 p.m. ET) on Saturday, February 14. Participants for the event will be announced at a later date here on InsideHoops.com. The game will take place on a 45' X 50’ court alongside the network's new NBA on TNT Rig at the NBA All-Star Block Party, the NBA's new outdoor All-Star event. The NBA on TNT Rig will also serve as the host set for other studio shows on TNT and NBA TV throughout the weekend. The rig can rise up to 14 feet off the ground and rotate to show views of the arena, downtown area and NBA All-Star Block Party, can seat up to 117 guests and will be open to the public on select days. Calling the action from the rig will be Ernie Johnson, along with analysts Kenny Smith and Chris Webber. The game will use a traditional format in which three players will establish the playing order. Once a shot is made, the next player in the predetermined order will attempt the same shot. If that player misses, he is assigned a letter (ex. H for the first miss, O for the second, etc.). The player following the miss can pick a new shot with which to challenge his competitors. There is no dunking allowed and players will have 24 seconds each to create and mimic shots. Players remain in the game until they have missed five shots following made baskets, thus spelling the word H-O-R-S-E. An NBA referee will be assigned to authenticate the new shots (that the player executed what he announced) and any mimic shot."

I still say dweedle and I could get a couple letters off anyone

this could potentially last hours.

2/3/2009 2:25:02 PM

no dunking? thats kinda lame

2/3/2009 2:56:01 PM

They should get the 3 best players in the NBA

Dwade
Kobe
Lebron

2/3/2009 2:58:57 PM

dunking would be dumb

Player before Nash: *dunks*

Steve Nash: "oh shit!"

2/3/2009 3:01:54 PM

now if they could only make their games worth watching.

2/3/2009 3:06:07 PM

Would love to know who's going to be in it. Should be pretty interesting.

2/3/2009 3:25:42 PM

This should be cool

Also, and I feel I must note this, this isn't actually a FINALLY because they've had H-O-R-S-E at All Star games before...just not since like the 70s...they showed some clips one time of Maravich vs. Gervin in Horse...I think Maravich won HOR to HORSE

2/3/2009 3:31:27 PM

dont forget jordan vs bird in the Mickey Ds commercials

2/3/2009 3:37:36 PM

nothin but net

2/3/2009 3:54:42 PM

Pistol Pete would probably beat anyone that ever played in HORSE.

2/3/2009 4:29:14 PM

im confident i could take lebron or kobe in a game of horse

2/3/2009 4:32:00 PM

underhand it off Primoz Brezec's forehead so that the ball pops up to hit the shot clock with some velocity at an angle while running a suicide to the halfcourt line and run back and catch the ball off the shot clock in the air while turning around and banking it in backwards from the key



wait a minute, 45x50 foot court? BUSHLEAGUE... everyone knows that a staple to a game of horse is a shot from at least 80 feet

I'll watch...but I don't see HORSE really being that entertaining. even with NBA players.

2/3/2009 5:41:11 PM

depends on what types of shots.

if they are just long range bombs from different angles, itll get old

but otherwise it could be interesting

2/3/2009 5:42:22 PM

i fear they will not try anything as off-the-wall (get it LOL) as i would try

2/3/2009 5:42:29 PM

there's no such thing as a long-range bomb on a 45-50 foot court


unless they allow them to walk a few yards out into the crowd or something

2/3/2009 5:43:24 PM

ok so what kinda shots are we gonna see? my guess is half-court, underhand shots, bounce shots, crazy bank shots....

who knows? but no dunks kinda makes it weaker IMO.

2/3/2009 5:44:03 PM

think about it

if you saw dunks in horse, how is that any different from the dunk contest

its lame enough when one player cant get it right and tries it 4 times, to see one player get it and another player miss it, meh

2/3/2009 5:45:43 PM

when Maravich was on, he was doing shots where he would sit down on the court and shoot it and stuff like that...Gervin's toughest shots were like 22 foot bank shots, which he was stroking, but Pistol was hitting most of those also

don't really get what that's about ^

2/5/2009 9:50:40 PM

they just better be using that gazebo in the sky

and 60% of the shots better be taken somewhere other than from that court area

2/5/2009 9:55:24 PM

^Yes, none of those 6-ft granny-shots.

2/5/2009 10:12:57 PM

self pwn


the mcdonalds commercials were money.

Normalcy lasted a few days at least. Now they are going to play G-E-I-C-O

~

Why can't they just make it the Geico Game of H-O-R-S-E?

Now they can't make fun of them at HO and HOR, it's all so GEI now

I used to play this with my brother, and I would beat him by hitting shots from behind the goal just to piss him off.

2/8/2009 6:40:41 PM

i, too, couldn't hit the behind the basket shots

2/8/2009 6:49:54 PM

one of my favorites is throwing the ball really high so that it would bounce in the goal

2/8/2009 6:54:16 PM

that or bouncing it in from 18 feet, off the backboard of course

I won two horse contests in high school, primarily off of left-handed layups and bounce shots

2/9/2009 4:09:08 AM

no look, backwards, shots from the foul line were my bread in butter as a kid.

2/9/2009 8:53:08 AM

Three participants are:

Kevin Durant
O.J. Mayo
Joe Johnson

2/10/2009 1:22:07 PM

stand in the backyard, blind shot over the corner of the roof, listen for the reaction from the driveway

2/10/2009 3:13:31 PM

-Lying down on my back on the floor behind the goal

-Lying down on my back at the free throw line, eyes closed, with my head facing the basket. Basically, it's the backwards free throw while lying down.

-Bouncing the ball over the side of the backboard and in from behind the basket.

Needless to say, I won a lot.
