Okay, so yesterday I tried out this game called “HORSE” with my buddies, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride. I’d heard about it before, you know, it’s that basketball thing where you gotta make these crazy shots, but actually playing it? Whole different story.

We gathered at the local court, pumped up and ready to go. None of us were exactly pros, but we were there to have a good time. I figured, how hard could it be? Just make a few shots, right?
We decided that five letter word “HORSE” meant we’d have five rounds. It seemed pretty chill at first. We started with some basic layups and free throws, just to warm up. Then things started to get interesting. One of my friends, he tried this ridiculous behind-the-back shot, and by some miracle, he actually made it. So, of course, the rest of us had to try and match it.
- I stepped up, feeling all confident, and completely bricked it. Not even close. I got my first letter, an “H”.
- Next up was another friend. He went for a half-court heave, just for laughs, and guess what? He sank it! We couldn’t believe it.
- So there I was, trying to duplicate a half-court shot. Let’s just say it didn’t go well. “HO” for me.
This went on for a while, each of us trying to outdo the other with these insane shots. We were all over the court, shooting from the baseline, off the backboard, even sitting down. It was chaotic, but so much fun. I ended up with “HORS” before finally nailing a crazy off-the-wall shot to avoid getting the dreaded “E”.
By the end of it, we were all exhausted, but grinning from ear to ear. We definitely weren’t shooting like the pros, but we had a blast making up shots and challenging each other. It’s safe to say, HORSE is way more than just a simple basketball game. It’s about creativity, luck, and a whole lot of laughs. I’m already looking forward to our next game!
