NBA Players to Play G-E-I-C-O not H-O-R-S-E

You guys really are over analyzing the situation.

 

Yeah...that's likely

Imagine the kids lowering the hoop to 8 feet and saying "let's go out and have a Sprite Dunk Contest".

 

Should be the GEICO H-O-R-S-E contest. Nobody plays G-E-I-C-O -- too hard to spell. Plus they limit their sponsors to those with five letters.

Or maybe they should rename 'dunks' to 'sprites.' It's the same thing, right?

 

This is the more accurate analogy. The game is actually called HORSE, not GEICO. "Sprite Dunk Contest" isn't changing anything. That's the same as FedEx Orange Bowl, or whatever.

 

i understand them sponsoring it but lol, i think playing G-E-I-C-O is going too far.

 

While they're at it, they should cover the entire All-Star Game court with corporate logos. Make it look like NASCAR. What's the big deal? And put logos on the ball and backboard, too -- that's space that's just going to waste.

 

Stop giving them ideas!

 

I understand the financial aspect of it...but it's still lame that they are using g-e-i-c-o...

 

You see that?


That's the money you could be making by selling your soul to GEICO.

 

Aflac!

 

It was just posted on realgm, that Joe Johnson, OJ Mayo, and Kevin Durant will play in the Horse Geico game, or whatever the crap it called.

 

Whomever wins has to change their last name to Geico. Ouch.

 

saw it on yahoo sports as well

Kevin Love got shafted he would have been awesome to watch in horse instead of Mayo

 

Everything is too commercialized now.

 

even the thadeus?

 

err i think geico horse would sound more appropriate and this link says nothing about that

also looks like its gonna be mayo,j.johnson, and durant...what is this a shooting contest?

Uh...it is a shooting contest.

With that said, pretty terrible choices of contestants. I wanted Sheed, K-Love, and Chris Paul (even if he's injured).

I saw Chris Paul goofing around in a shoot-around one time and he was doing some pretty creative shots.

 

Chinese w**** doesn't rhyme with dog.

 

lmao.

 

who picks the participants for these mini-events..? i can't remember the last time I was remotely interested.. due to the continuous poor selection of participants that I really don't care much about seeing in said events..
