If there was one thing I loved about being home sick from school when I was a kid, it was watching some kind of trick shot competition on ESPN2—pool, bowling, didn’t matter—it was all awesome. Okay, I also really liked watching Lifetime Original Movies when I was home sick, but you can only sit through Fifteen and Pregnant (starring Kirsten Dunst) so many times.
But back to trick shots. The Timberwolves haven’t been to the playoffs in over five years, and they don't have much of a chance to make it this year, but what they do have is Kevin Love. And if there is one thing he is good at, it is trick shots.
Anyone watching videos of Kevin Love sinking outrageous shots (like these) can see that he would be a beast of an opponent in H-O-R-S-E. So here’s my proposal: To keep things interesting, I say at Minnesota home games they get rid of free-throws and replace them with a round of H-O-R-S-E starring Kevin Love.
What I’m proposing here is not just a normal game of H-O-R-S-E, it’s more like H-O-R-S-E combined with the Daily Double from "Jeopardy" and also some old school, "Rock 'N' Jock" style awesomeness. Here’s how it would work:
