H-O-R-S-E

I have played the basketball game HORSE a few times this week with some friends and it has been very enjoyable. It made me wonder about the origin of that game and I honestly do not know the answer and have not taken the time yet to look it up, but I will. The best commercials around the game horse were certainly the classic McDonald's ads featuring Larry Bird and Michael Jordan making shots from every impossible and unrealistic spot. Horse unleashes the imagination if you let it. I've punched a basketball with my fist, shot it over the backborad, sat down in the lane criss cross applesauce style, and even headed a shot in to try and trip up my opponents. I won some and lost some, but I played the game again and that's what matters most.
