In a unique mid-pandemic event, the NBA held a HORSE contest between some of basketball’s brightest stars. WNBA players, current NBA players and retired NBA players squared off in an eight-person single-elimination tournament. Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine had a strong run but ultimately lost in the championship round.
What makes HORSE fun is that the best basketball players aren’t always the best HORSE players. HORSE generally favors the sharpshooters and creative types.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Zach LaVine in HORSE. As per usual, there was no dunking allowed in this tournament, so LaVine’s biggest strength was neutralized.
