I really like this HORSE tournament the NBA and ESPN are assembling.
Maybe weeks of no live games have conditioned me, but this doesn’t sound contrived. As kids, we all played HORSE: You dream up crazy basketball shots. When you make one, your opponent must replicate it. Miss the shot and you get a letter. Whoever reaches “E” in HORSE loses.
You can play this remotely without being on the same court, so it immediately works in coronavirus-induced social-distancing times. It’s entertaining without being just a gimmick. I bet it would be popular enough that the off-shore sports books would take bets on it.
