Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley beat Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine to earn the honors of HORSE champion on Thursday night.
After topping WNBA legend Tamika Catchings in the quarterfinals last week, Conley took care of business against retired NBA star Chauncey Billups in the semifinals before besting LaVine in the star-studded competition on ESPN.
Conley’s victory netted a $200,000 donation to a charity of his choice.
Conley got LaVine in a two-letter hole by banking in a behind-the-back shot and sinking an eyes-closed free throw. Then he followed up with an off-handed 3-pointer, a move he’d used throughout the competition.
