All Star Weekend is Feb 13-15! Many Events Such as the rookie vs. sophomore’s game and the Play-Station Skills Challenge and the Slam Dunk contest and the 3 point shoot out and it all go to the all Star game well TNT has added a new game.
H-O-R-S-E! But the participants haven’t been announced just yet but they will be later this week. Most kid’s play this in the drive way but this is the same with a twist the game will use a traditional format in which three NBA 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 look, if you don't know how to play H-O-R-S-E; I doubt you're reading this blog. All you really need to know is that there is no dunking allowed and ballers have just 24 seconds to create/mimic shots. That’s it to win.
