History’s Greatest Games of H-O-R-S-E7:21 pm | Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Yesterday, it was announced that a game of H-O-R-S-E would be added to the NBA’s All-Star Weekend. Our first thought: It’s about E-F-F-I-N’ time. Sure, the dunk contest is actually kinda dope again and the 3-point shooting competition’s “money” balls always make trifey chuckle, but who doesn’t love a game of H-O-R-S-E? (We see you, Catherine the Great!)

The participants haven’t been announced (as long as it’s not Wally Szczerbiak, we’re cool with it), but if the L takes cues from these classic equine roundball contests (ayo!), they can’t go wrong…

#5. CHARLES BARKLEY vs. JEAN-ROBERT BELLANDE

• Two things here: 1. Sir Charles probably needs to add a “pause” after saying “my horse is different than your horse.” 2. Vodka and horse do not mix (just ask Catherine the Great).
