There are four first-round matchups between the eight players in the field. All players will be competing at home from courts that can either be indoors or outdoors. Players will describe the shot they intend to shoot, and if they make it their opponent will get a chance to match the shot. Miss a shot, get a letter. First player with H-O-R-S-E loses.
The field includes NBA all-stars Chris Paul and Trae Young, and veteran guards Mike Conley Jr. and Zach LaVine among active NBA players. Current WNBA sharpshooter Allie Quigley and Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Tamika Catchings are also in the competition. Retired NBA stars Chauncey Billups and Paul Pierce round out the field.
