According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Chris Paul, Trae Young and Zach LaVine are all expected to participate. Unnamed WNBA players and former NBA players will also apparently play in the H-O-R-S-E game.

I know this seems like a foolish idea given the fact millionaire basketball players will now be playing H-O-R-S-E instead of real games. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
However, I’m so desperate for sports that I’ll take whatever I can get. If that means it’s NBA players playing H-O-R-S-E, then consider me sold.
Beggars can’t be choosers during these trying times.

I can’t wait to see what the TV ratings are like for this event whenever it ends up airing on ESPN. I’m going to guess they’ll be through the roof.
Again, people are desperate for any kind of action they can get in the world of sports during the coronavirus pandemic.
That has me thinking the ratings will be through the roof.

We’ll see when the dates are set in stone, but this H-O-R-S-E competition should at least give fans of basketball something to look forward to.
