O.J. Mayo to be in All-Star H-O-R-S-E

February 10th, 2009 · No Comments

O.J. Mayo will take on Kevin Durant and Joe Johnson in the first ever H-O-R-S-E competition during All-Star Saturday night.

The contest will take place outdoors at the NBA’s All-Star Block Party on Saturday in Phoenix before TNT televises the All-Star Saturday night festivities.

If a player makes a shot in H-O-R-S-E, the next competitor must make the same shot or receive a letter. A player gets an ‘H’ for his first miss and is eliminated once he has all five letters of the word.

Players will have 24 seconds to execute their shots, and an NBA referee will rule if they’re done properly. Dunking won’t be allowed.
