Stephen Curry appears in his home gym, picks up a ball and makes a shot from behind the board, from behind, from the center of the court or who knows. He celebrates it, as his followers around the world celebrate it and he gives up his turn.

LeBron James, Luka Doncinc, Giannis Antetokounmpo or James Harden, also from their homes, must imitate your shot and, if they fail, they receive a letter. Whoever accumulates five errors, that is, five letters, the word HORSE, will be eliminated and the last one standing will be the winner.

The game, which the courts throughout Spain translates as OSO, has been children's entertainment for decades and now, in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, it can be a relief for the American network ESPN. Along with the NBA itself, the platform is negotiating with the players and hopes to have a game schedule soon to fill out its schedule.

The idea sounds strange, but there is no other. While living on the recovery of old broadcasts and the broadcast of documentaries, television networks around the world look for events, whatever they may be, to re-broadcast live.

The HORSE game is the last alternative of the few that have emerged in the weeks of confinement. On the one hand, some media sought the pull of eSports and organized video game tournaments in a short time with La Liga footballers, NBA players, Formula 1 drivers or MotoGP riders. And on the other, the horizon was broadened and the few competitions still allowed were used, such as the Chess Candidates Tournament that lasted in Russia for several days or the Belarusian Football League that remains oblivious to everything. But if the big competitions do not return soon, it is evident that the bill will be in the millions.
