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
