With the NBA season at a halt due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the NBA and ESPN will be televising a first of its kind H-O-R-S-E competition on April 12. It will be headlined by All-Star's Chris Paul and Trae Young and 2020 Hall of Fame inductee Tamika Catchings.
In the competition, which will feature eight NBA and WNBA players and legends, competitors will have to match shots against one another in a single-elimination tournament from their isolated home courts.
State Farm will donate more than $200,000 on behalf of the participants to charities focused on coronavirus response efforts. This donation builds on the more than $74 million that has been contributed by the NBA Family to date to support coronavirus relief efforts through its NBA Together campaign.
