A report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski this past weekend revealed plans for the NBA and ESPN to televise a H-O-R-S-E competition between several start players, each of whom would shoot at his own home gym. The novelty might come off as incredibly cheesy under normal circumstances, but the desire to consume any form of live sports has gotten so great that this actually seems like a decent idea.
Not wanting to pass up an opportunity to generate a little goodwill, and perhaps some revenue, Major League Baseball discussed doing something similar with a Home Run Derby.
