NEW YORK (AP) — H-O-R-S-E has galloped into the NBA’s All-Star weekend.

The popular shooting contest will be part of TNT’s coverage of All-Star Saturday night, the network announced Tuesday. Three NBA players, who will be revealed later, will take part.

The competition will take place outdoors at the NBA’s All-Star Block Party in Phoenix on Feb. 14. The dunk contest, 3-point shootout and skills challenge are later Saturday night, and the All-Star game is Sunday.

If a player makes a shot in H-O-R-S-E, the next competitor must make the same shot or receive a letter. 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.

A player gets an ‘H’ for his first miss and is eliminated once he has all five letters of the word.

I remember the days back in the driveway, if you made a trick shot, and the other guy missed it, he’d make you “prove” it by making the trick shot again. If you missed, it didn’t count.

Since this is year 1 of the game, you gotta throw some sort of trick shot in there. Anyone remember those old Jordan commercials “Off the bleachers, through the rafters, over the backboard, nothing but net”?

A blind-folded 3pt from either the corner or the top of the key as well...

Straight legs, bend, raise the ball as high as you can and flip it at the rim. Ugliest free throw ever. Anthony Mason had a bad one too. He'd lean waaaay across the line and right before he fell on his face he flip his wrist and shoot. Ohhh yeah. Straight legs, bend, raise the ball as high as you can and flip it at the rim.

But I think all is fair. I don't think you can say stuff like "Has to be a swish" or "has to bounce six times on the rim" but I think pretty much everything is fair game.

My memory is too foggy from back in the day when the playground rules changed every week to remember what exactly is legal.
