NBA announces details on the first-ever HORSE Challenge

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

The first-ever NBA HORSE Challenge has been in the works and it’s finally ready to tip off. Eight NBA and WNBA players and legends will participate, split into two groups.

The duels will be done from the participants’ respective, isolated home courts and it will begin on Sunday, April 12. The winner from each group will move on to the championship round.

Group 1 Group 2
Chauncey Billups Zach LaVine
Tamika Catchings Chris Paul
Mike Conley Jr. Paul Pierce
Trae Young Allie Quigley

A coin toss at the start of each game will determine who shoots first, with the more senior player calling heads or tails.  Players must describe each shot attempt, specifying the type of score they intend to make before taking a shot, such as a bank shot or swish. Dunking is prohibited. The first player in each game to accumulate the letters “H-O-R-S-E” after failing to match five shots is eliminated.
