Ehh. They wouldn't have been my first choices.
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 compe ion during All-Star Saturday night.
Atlanta Hawks guard Joe Johnson is the other compe or 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 compe or 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.
I'll take Joe Johnson out of that group.
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.
so is this going to be televised or not?
MAYOOOOOOO! Repping The University of South Central! I'll be pulling for him.
Mayo gives me a hard on. I saw him up close last night at the Hornet's game. I'm still hard.
of all the players in the NBA they pick a second year guy and a rookie, and joe johnsonyou drop the ball again NBA
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?
lol your probably right he wouldn't wanna waste his time with it
sons I wanted to see Peja vs Shaq in the HORSE compe ion.
kevin durant won't win, dumb
want to offer that opinion without my in your mouth?
Kevin Durant isn't a premier perimeter shooter, moron
PS- My ty team is beating your ty team!
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)
