HORSE Added to NBA All Star Weekend

Pistol Pete laughs at your feeble attempt to imitate

The NBA and TnT have announced that they are foregoing a footrace between a drunken gambler and an old man to instead include HORSE into the events off NBA All Star Weekend.  Somewhere, Bill Simmons is giddy.  The NBA used to have this as part of their All Star show but after Pete Maravich  (as seen above) utterly dominated the event they put a stop to it in favor of more thrilling events…events that led to the likes of Harold Minor and Brent Berry winning slam dunk competitions, so maybe getting rid of it in the first place wasn’t such a hot idea.

This isn’t major news, but any excuse I have to post old Pistol Pete footage will not be squandered.
