It's been a tough couple months for basketball fans around the world as live games have come to a screeching halt due to the global pandemic.

However, ESPN put on a fun [Virtual HORSE competition](https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29017165/nba-horse-challenge-how-watch-trae-young-tamika-catchings-paul-pierce-espn) featuring 8 NBA, WNBA, and former pro players competing from their homes:

Sure enough, both players who have a Dr. Dish at their home, Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls and Mike Conley of the Utah Jazz, ended up facing of in the championship.

Ultimately, Mike Conley's ambidextrous prowess and his competitive advantage of having an indoor gym allowed him to defeat Zach in the rain.

While Zach didn't have his [Dr. Dish CT](https://www.drdishbasketball.com/schools/dr-dish-ct) in the background, it was easy to see Mike's [Dr. Dish All-Star](https://www.drdishbasketball.com/schools/dr-dish-all-star) prominently in the corner of the gym throughout the competition. Check out what Mike had to say when he first received his Dr. Dish machine a couple years ago.

 

Zach LaVine initally had a Dr. Dish All-Start that he purchased for his home back in 2016 but recently upgraded to the Dr. Dish CT last summer.

We're thrilled that we can help both of them continue to develop their game at home along with hundreds of other players around the world. We even recently got NBA players[Paul Millsap and Avery Bradley](https://www.instagram.com/p/B_dciwlpD07/) on board the Dr. Dish family as well to keep their game fresh throughout this quarantine period.
