The NBA and ESPN have finalized plans to televise a HORSE shooting competition, with stars Chris Paul of Oklahoma City, Trae Young of Atlanta and Zach LaVine of Chicago among those who will participate, the NBA announced Thursday.

The NBA HORSE Challenge will include a couple of WNBA stars, including Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings, and fairly recent NBA alumni playing in a single-elimination format.

Players will be filmed competing at home locations -- on indoor or outdoor courts -- and compete shot for shot in the traditional playground game. All first-round matchups will be Sunday from 7 to 9 p.m. ET on ESPN, with the semifinals and championship happening April 16 from 9 to 11 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Young, an All-Star selection in his second season, joked with LaVine, a two-time NBA slam dunk contest champion, on Twitter.
