Once again... I do not endorse binge drinking. But the NBA Draft, much like the NFL Draft, follows an unwavering pattern of canned comments and predictable events that I find highly amusing. And since this draft class is relatively weak, I figured that I had to come up with some way to kick it up a notch. So on that note, I present to you... the Official NBA Draft Drinking Game.

One drink for each time:

- Someone's mother is shown crying
- A player wearing a bad suit is selected
- David Stern or Russ Granik completely butcher a player's name
- Someone from your alma mater (or current school) is selected
- The last player in the green room is shown on his cell phone, trying to hide his disappointment
- Grainy, convenience store-quality video camera footage of a non-American player is shown
- Any player forgets to put the requisite curve in his hat brim before putting it on
- Jay Bilas (or anyone else on the broadcast) uses one of the following words
     "Long"
     "Explosive"
     "Wingspan"
     "Upside"
     "Motor"
     "Tweener"
     "Reach"
     "Unlimited range"
     "NBA-ready body"
     "Jumps out of the gym"

- Stephen A. Smith says any of the following (or a variation thereof):
     "That's horrible!"
     "That's terrible!"
     "However..."
     "Oh my goodness..."

 - The Stephen A. Smith/Tim Legler ESPN Mobile commercial is shown.

Two drinks for each time:

- A foreign-born player uses a translator in the post-pick interview
- There is a trade in the first-round (finish your drink if it involves either a
lottery pick or your favorite team)
- A player is selected and, instead of emerging from the green room, he comes straight out of the crowd
- Someone compares Andrea Bargnani to Dirk Nowitzki
- Someone compares Adam Morrison to Larry Bird
- Someone compares Tyrus Thomas to Shawn Marion
- Dick Vitale raves about a Duke player
- Dick Vitale rips a team who takes a foreign-born player over an American
player (finish your drink if he says: "That is a joke. That is an absolute joke.")

Finish your drink if:

- A "Fire Thomas" chant breaks out
- Stephen A. Smith mentions Scott Layden
- A player is drafted and there is no video footage whatsoever
- The last player in the green room begins to cry
- Adam Morrison begins to cry
- A clip package that highlights the worst suits in draft night history is shown
- Someone who is at least seven feet tall pats David Stern on the top of the head
