About the Author

BigPPup
AGM Linebacker and I will bring the pain.


I'm a sports fanatic. I hail from Nelson County Virginia, and thats where I learned to be a Virginia Cavalier fan. I also learned to be a Dallas Cowboys fan because I hated how good the Redskins were doing. I've played sports at almost every level with the exception of being a fulltime professional, as a result I have a great perception on the sporting world. I love to talk sports and I've never been shy to share my opinion with someone.

Get Ready, For A Game of HORSE With The NBA All Stars

Play Some HORSE

Who doesn't love a good game of horse? I, for one, always do and so do NBA players. We have seen the YouTube of Gilbert Arenas in a shooting contest while at practice, and we have heard stories of NBA players laying down some big money in shooting competitions after practice. So what better way to harness that excitement and bring it to NBA All Star Weekend? This year on Saturday night, a group of NBA players will play a winner take all game of Horse.

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. 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. You all know how the game goes, so no need to explain the rules here. An NBA referee will be assigned to authenticate the new shots (that the player executed what he announced) and any mimic shot.

Check back soon and we will post the contestants to this contest once they are announced.

Various people have suggested this for All Star weekend for years. They were a little slow, but at least the NBA finally got on board.

It won't be a game of H-O-R-S-E, it will be a game of G-E-I-C-O.


Utterly lame.

Yeah, doesn't that sort of ruin it? Or at least detract from it? I'm not the biggest bball fan in the world, but I was going to watch this, and was excited to watch this. Now, I don't know.

I'm gonna watch it anyway, but I really hate commercialism.

I don't mind commercialism. But I hate when it becomes a distraction. Like MLB's Spiderman campaign at the All-Star Game a few years ago.

I've changed as I've gotten older. Everything doesn't have to generate revenue. It's OK to not have a sponsor.
