The NBA announced that it will be adding a competitive game of H-O-R-S-E to its lineup of All Star Game festivities in Phoenix next week. I think this is a welcome addition to the otherwise stale weekend.
This shootout competition, for whatever reason, harkens back to the "Dr. J vs. Larry Bird Go One on One" video game that was as simple as it was addictive. This game featured the timeless one-on-one basketball battle of two classic NBA stars, brought to your home entertainment system. I remember playing this game on my Atari 7800 for hours at a time. Now granted the H-0-R-S-E battle is a little different than one on one, but hopefully the live All Star version is just as fun to watch!
Now for the one-on-one vintage Sixers matchups I'd like to see in a game of H-O-R-S-E:
Charles Barkley vs. Clarence Weatherspoon
-"Baby Barkley" vs. the "Real Barkley"
Scott Williams vs. Sharone Wright
-Battle of the Let Downs
Derrick Coleman vs. Glenn Robinson
-Battle of the Free Agent Frauds
Manute Bol vs. Shawn Bradley
-Fifteen Feet of Fame
Greg Grant vs. Speedy Claxton
-Mini-Me Squared

Hottest Fans of the NL East?
More Hardball wants to know who has the hottest fans in baseball. We'll be running a set of posts over the following weeks featuring images of each teams' hotties, with a voting poll to crown a champion. We've crowned champs of the AL East (BoSox), Central (ChiSox), West (Angels), and AL Wild Card (A's) already, and we're now moving on to the National League...NL East. Sticking true to Major League Baseball's roots, there will be an eight team playoff system where the winners of each division square off with the addition of a wild card team to determine who wins the pennant and represents each league in the World Series of Hotness.
