This year its Kevin Durant, Rajon Rondo, and Omri Casspi.

The funny thing is I think the order in terms of entertainment value....its gonna be Casspi > Rondo > Durant.

I love watching Durant playball ......but he has to be one fo the the least entertaining HORSE players in the league!

If you could pick the 3 players to be in the HORSE competition who would it be?

my picks....

i'd be looking for someone who has skills/shooting ability, star power, and enough personality to talk some trash and make it more interesting than Durant, Mayo, and Joe Johnson moping around taking turns shooting jumpers.

Steve Nash - One of the best shooters in the league. Can see him coming up with some super hard shots....especially given his soccer background. Maybe he'll toss the ball off the backboard, head it straight up, and then scissor kick it into the rim!

Kobe Bryant - Known to hit some of the most ridiculously difficult shots in games. Extremely skilled and coordinated and also can hit a variety of shots with his left hand. Plus he'll be competitive enough to want to try and win.

Lebron James - Was thinking about Wade the whole time....but switched last second to LeBron. The fact is, any competition at all between Kobe and Lebron...I probably wanna see it, whether its a dunk contest, a 3pt contest, skills challenge, chess, a pie eating contest, or HORSE...it'll probably be fun to see them compete. Lebron will have an obvious physical advantage here, and is good enough on his shot and has enough range to contend as well. Plus, he'll be extra motivated to win after getting his ass handed to him in his last HORSE competition.

That doesn't mean you go and be gay just because you get the opportunity to be on camera.

Yeah that would be cool haha.

For real though, I would like to see Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

Nice win for the Lakers tonight. I'm loving the Kobe-less Lakers haha. Odom, Artest and the bench in general is playing better. They have stepped up.

Durant wasn't very entertaining last year. I'd want to see Monta Ellis, Kobe Bryant, and Manu Ginobili.

Manu would be a good pick. I thought about Manu as well. I think Wade and Manu would round out my top 5. I just did 3 cuz they do 3.

yeap same. i've always liked Manu for his craftiness. if he can do those in games...he should be able to do them in HORSE especially with no defenders.

Im unreal in HORSE...thats all i ever did in practice, until i quit ball b/c i wasnt good enough anymore...mainly b/c i could only shoot if i was standing flat footed at the other FT line hahaha.

To answer though, i think LBJ and Howard have to be in it. Mainly b/c i have always heard about their pre game antics throwing shit from halfcourt 1 handed among other things, its funny that Dwight is that good at it you wouldnt think he would have the touch to do that stuff.

The 3rd candidate is tough though, idk. I like your Nash idea, he is probably amazing at crazy trick shots, i like Kobe too..but just to be different i have to say someone else....

How about...umm...fuck. Oh duh, Dwyane Wade.

haha thats totally true. i totally didn't think of Dwight.....but yeah, supposedly he hits crazy ass shots in pregame warmups. just the other day he hit a shot while sitting down in a chair on the Magic bench.

i thought of Wade right away but i dropped him for Lebron last second. if i had to bet on players winning HORSE....i think i'd go with guys like Nash, Kobe, or Manu....but im gonna totally change my answer now. I'd go with Dwight, Lebron, and Wade. They'd be really good, have superstar power/draw, are young and freakishly athletic, and they all have fun personalities. I think a Dwight, Wade, Lebron HORSE game would be the most fun.

Then afterwards Dwight and Lebron can have a dance off.
