In the absence of regular season games, the NBA staged a competition between current and former NBA stars, as well as a couple of WNBA stars.
The NBA’s Horse Challenge was set up over the weekend as a single elimination bracket where Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young faced off against former NBA champion Chauncey Billups.
The winner of that match-up faced the winner of the battle between former WNBA star from the Indiana Fever, Tamika Catchings, and Utah Jazz’s Mike Conley Jnr.
On the other side of the bracket, current Chicago Bull Zach LaVine played against former Boston Celtics great Paul Pierce and current Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Chris Paul faced WNBA Chicago Sky star Allie Quigley.
PlaySugarHouse.com in New Jersey and Philadelphia and BetRivers.com in Philadelphia offered all their players a free-to-play bracket with a $1,000 pool on each site for the winners.
