AKA GEICO.

As one of the most basic games of basketball I felt it was a welcome addition to the weekend.

It was lacking in competitive integrity last year, but I guess that sort of holds true for much of the weekend.

Well that's what happens when it suddenly turns into the 3pt shootout and one of the guys doesn't know what a 3 pointer is unless there's 2 on the shot clock.

It was a great competition but just doesn't work for t because there is no time limit, therefore they have no idea how long it will take, so they had to ax it.

Although Rondo did hit a bunch of them.

The game was too slow paced, and the players didn't seem comfortable. I don't think the NBA did any favors by selecting some of the more reserved players (Rondo, Durant, and Caspi). The camera was in their face, and they looked like they didn't know what they were supposed to do--a little awkward. They also tried too many circus shots and missed them, which lessened the interest level. That being said, if it were still on, I would probably have watched it.

I think you're right.

They could have given it one more year though.

I think he hit at least 10 but Durant probably could've hit 50.

I enjoy any kind of basketball competition, but of all the events during All-Star weekend, HORSE is the least exciting. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets the axe.

I like the old dunk format better than this one.  All those misses are a joke.  I'd rather watch HORSE than  1 min 30 secs of missed dunks.
