MANILA, Philippines – Ever wonder what it’s like to get picked in the NBA Draft? So did Connor Toole, a blogger for EliteDaily.com. Luckily for Toole, he stands 6-foot-10, has a suit that fits and the guts to try and pull off an epic con.
After posing for photos outside Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., Toole puts on a Utah Jazz hat and hits New York City pretending to be an NBA draft pick. The perks include photos with adoring fans, free liquor and phone numbers – and more – from random girls.
Warning: Video is NSFW
The video gives a unique view into how looking like a “somebody” can get you access to privilege, and just what it’s like to be a star athlete, even for a night.

The Utah Jazz social media team even retweeted a link to the video, only to delete it after discovering the NSFW stuff towards the end.

I'd apologize to all the people that gave me shots last night but they got a fun story and I got drunk for free
