A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

IT MIGHT MAKE UP FOR THE GARY RUSSELL BET: Making Bill Simmons' long-time dream come true, this year's NBA All-Star Weekend will include a three-man game of H-O-R-S-E as what we'd call in the Olympics a "demonstration event" -- not in the arena, but they are testing it out and airing it live on TNT. Now, the lawyer-speak:

The game will use a traditional format in which three players will establish the playing order. Once a shot is made, the next player in the predetermined order will attempt the same shot. If that player misses, he is assigned a letter (ex. H for the first miss, O for the second, etc.). The player following the miss can pick a new shot with which to challenge his competitors. There is no dunking allowed and players will have 24 seconds each to create and mimic shots. Players remain in the game until they have missed five shots following made baskets, thus spelling the word H-O-R-S-E. An NBA referee will be assigned to authenticate the new shots (that the player executed what he announced) and any mimic shot.

Tell me who you want to see in this.
