Horse is a style of basketball that matches opponents shot for shot until the loser spells out HORSE. This video shows youths making incredible shots out on the street through dumpsters, over cars, into garbage cans, down stairs, and over bus stops. Not only are these incredible shots, and a new innovation on the classic game, but I also see the potential for this video being integrated into an ad campaign for a footwear or athletic clothing line.
