    It's a gimmick, the average NBA player can't spell horse, they're actually going to play whores

    Gee, no one else remember this is where legendary ref Mendy Rudolph would officiate all the Horse games form the early days? These, I think, were run as a series during halftime of NBA game of the week on Sundays. (showing my age, yeah).

    And this brought us the weekly, memorable line of calling a shot with the words "Off the glass, Mendy."

    Fixed...you yutzz

    For what, coming up with an idea they already did 35 years ago??

    after watching some clips, I can see them needing two hours to complete the competition.

    Still, I like this idea.

    By the way, is the game featuring Westphal outside somewhere? I thought I saw a highrise in the background.

    The problem with those clips is that nobody but Pistol and Westphal a little was really doing trick shots.
    And Pistol didn't even really reach into his bag of tricks. Those were the simple ones.

    Yes. Did you see anyone else calling for them to bring it back?

    They will not be playing HORSE during All-Star Weekend. They will be playing GEICO ...

    Is Turner Broadcasting aware most sports fans have a slightly different attitude towards the BCS title game and NBA All-Star game weekend? As in, they care about the first and don't about the second?
    Honestly, who would PAY MONEY to watch a game of H-0-R-S-E in a movie theater?That should be an automatic loss of voting rights.
