NBA Draft Drinking Game!!

Here are the rules that fellow Syracuse Alums and I have developed over the last few NBA Drafts. It really is an amazing game. The two keys are a) to pay very close attention to Jay Bilasism's b) do good mock draft research so you can punish your friends when you guess the spurs random euro pick at the end of the first round.

One drink each:

-Any of the following words are used during the broadcast:

- upside (double if preceded by "tremendous")

- potential (see above)

- long/length

- wingspan

- NBA body

- basketball IQ

***5 seconds if any combination of 3 or more of those words is used in the same sentence***

-Any mention of God is made in a player's post-selection interview.

-A family member cries as the player's name is announced (multiplied by number of family members crying).

-A player's major/field of study is mentioned.

Two drinks each:

-Any of the following terms are used:

- motor

- work ethic

- raw athlete/talent

- pure shooter

- any reference to a player's leadership quality

- gamer

Five drinks each:

-A foreign player is drafted (10 drinks if the player is in the top 10 overall picks).

-A trade is made. If your team is involved, double this. For multi-team deals, drink 5 seconds times the number of teams involved (example: 4 teams = 20 seconds).

Finish your beer if/when:

-There is no video footage of a player drafted.

-The player's highlight reel includes either a lay-up or a missed shot (any point guard drafted is exempt from this rule).

-The last player in the Green Room is drafted

-A player from your alma mater/current school is drafted. Double this if the player is drafted in the second round (this is the only rule that applies to round 2... for your own health, the rest of the game lasts only one round)

Special Rules:

-Mini Power Hour when your favorite team is drafting. This applies to all first round picks.

-Every participant does a mock first round: Give out the number of seconds corresponding to the pick number for each correct pick at the time of said pick. (Example: get the 4th pick right, give out 4 drinks - can be split among more than 1 participant. Please note, there is no penalty for incorrect picks - there will be plenty of drinking otherwise)
