The rules, as configured, appear to target Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine among all those expected to participate in the single-elimination shooting competition.
As it’s widely known, LaVine’s early rise to fame in the league was derived from his ability to dunk. The rules appear to silence one of his most deadly assets: dunking.
Fortunately, LaVine has expanded on his offensive arsenal over the years. In fact, he took part in the three-point shooting contest as part of NBA All-Star Weekend 2020.
Others expected to compete in the HORSE competition are Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks), Chris Paul (Oklahoma City Thunder), Mike Conley Jr.
