TNT adds H-O-R-S-E to All-Star Weekend

The game will take place on a 45' X 50’ court alongside the network's new NBA on TNT Rig (photo attached) at the NBA All-Star Block Party presented by Right Guard, 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 presented by Right Guard, 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.

Participants will be announced at a later date. It's gonna go on before All-Star Saturday Night
Definitely has some potential​

I personally like this idea, as long as its independent of the in-arena events, as the potential of this dragging on too long is quite high

They should get the warehouse worker that beat LeBron in Horse, cant think of his name right now. He would be a tough one to beat.

This looks like it should be good

If they don't want it to drag on snowy I'd advise them not to put Nate Robinson in this event.

i like this, too.

i honestly don't think it would drag on too much as the creativity of the players will make letters pop up more easily

 

[Mexi]

It shouldn't drag out. You only get 24 seconds to create and mimic shots
