H.O.R.S.E. (Basketball)
Verdict
1 basketball (standard size; size 5, 6, or 7 depending on player age); 1 basketball hoop with backboard (regulation 10 ft / 3.05 m height preferred; lowered hoops are common for youth play); Optional: chalk, markers, or tape to designate shooting spots

Why people argue about this
People often assume that any basketball will do for H.O.R.S.E., forgetting that a standard size is crucial for maintaining fairness in all games played under these rules. The confusion arises because they overlook the specific sizing requirements, thinking only about the game's overall competitiveness rather than adhering to the precise measurements needed for each individual game.
