Around SBN: FSU To Big 12 'Inevitable,' According To Report

H-O-R-S-E contestants announced

 

HORSE Contest to be played outdoors as part of TNT All-Star Show

 

The contestants for H-O-R-S-E have been announced. The game has been implemented for the first time into All-Star Weekend after notable writers such as Bill Simmons rallied for it. No Nuggets were added ... rumor has it the contest will be G-E-I-C-O after the sponsor of the event.

Competitors: Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant, Memphis Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo, and Atlanta Hawks guard Joe Johnson will participate.

Notable rules: No Dunking and a 24-Second Shot clock will be in place for each attempt.

I don't exactly know how the players were selected, but I would have liked to have seen players nominate other players. This way we could have the best trick shot guys in the game in the contest. Either way ... this is a fun new wrinkle to All-Star Weekend!

Agree – players nominating players could bring excitement to the contest. Would love to see JR in the contest shooting 3’s…

Trick Shots...

See that’s why I’d like to know how the contestants for the HORSE contest were chosen.
I hear Rasheed Wallace has an array of shots as well.

Nothing says old-time, backyard basketball like a nice game of G-E-I-C-O.

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
