For years, bloggers and others (or maybe just bloggers) have been wishing that All-Star Weekend would involve a H-O-R-S-E competition.

I talked to the head of the NBA's D-League, Dan Reed, today (more on that later), and he told me the excellent news that this All-Star Weekend's Friday night festivities will include a D-League H-O-R-S-E competition.

An official role of the D-League is to experiment with things the NBA is considering doing.

So I hope that H-O-R-S-E contest works out swimmingly.
