Zach LaVine, Chauncey Billups, Mike Conley and Allie Quigley won the eight-player NBA HORSE competition first round organised by the league during the NBA suspension. The NBA organised the competition after the 'players only' NBA 2k tournament for the fans as the season continues to remain suspended. Round one was nationally televised and had WNBA former NBA players participating.
The rules were the same as previously conducted HORSE competitions. The first player was determined with a coin toss, while no dunking was allowed. Anyone who was unable to match the shots and accumulated the latter H-O-R-S-E first was out of the tournament. The games were held at the homes of the various players due to social distancing. State Farm will reportedly be donating more than $200,000 for COVID-19 relief on behalf of the participants. After the competition, the NBA HORSE competition highlights will be available to stream on Watch ESPN. Here are the NBA HORSE competition results.
