Tall guy pretends he was chosen in NBA draft, has epic night

June 26, 2015 at 9:42PM

If you're close to 7 feet tall and have some free time in late June next year, might I suggest going to the NBA Draft and pretending you are a prospect?

You're pretty much guaranteed to have an epic night, as Connor Toole did (for a professionally shot video, by the way, that gets NSFW toward the end when ladies start trying to take their tops off).

Ethically, it's clearly wrong to pretend you were just drafted. But the video is an interesting comment on fame, at the very least, with the selfies, free shots and, ahem, attention that ensued.

Have a look-see here (this is your second NSFW warning).

No official policy from the MSHSL regarding helmets exists, but that doesn’t preclude individual schools from taking action to minimize risk, officials said.
