Rookie of the Year Kevin Durant and O.J. Mayo, a favorite for this season's award, highlight the field for a H-O-R-S-E competition during All-Star Saturday night.

Atlanta Hawks guard Joe Johnson is the other competitor in TNT's special event, the network announced Tuesday. Johnson will play in the All-Star Game, while Durant and Mayo were selected for the rookie challenge.

The contest will take place outdoors at the NBA's All-Star Block Party on Saturday in Phoenix before TNT televises the All-Star Saturday night festivities.

If a player makes a shot in H-O-R-S-E, the next competitor must make the same shot or receive a letter. A player gets an 'H' for his first miss and is eliminated once he has all five letters of the word.

Players will have 24 seconds to execute their shots, and an NBA referee will rule if they're done properly. Dunking won't be allowed.

My guess is that they had better options that probably declined the invitation, because they could have done wayyyy better than this. With that being said, I'll take Mayo.

Nash would have been a logical choice, although maybe he told them he's taking a vacation since he wasn't selected. Rasheed would have been fun but he probably had vacation plans as well. Dirk and LeBron should have been choices.

Do you actually think that Sheed would bother to show up for that event?

HORSe is NOT just about perimeter shooting ...it's also tricky or unique shots or taking shots you know the others can't make (like left handed FT's)

Has Durant ever hit a shot other than a pull up 30 foot jumper for no other reason than just for the hell of it?

You're right, I didn't realize he improved so much upon 28% from last year. He wasn't a great outside shooter until as of late. I still like JJ or OJ

I saw some pretty bad ass videos of Sheed and Matt Boner doing trick shots. I'd say they'd have as good a shot as anyone as well

it's understandable why these are the guys playing. why would Sheed, Manu et al want to play a game of GEICO?
