The All-Star game is this weekend in New Orleans and I’m getting ready to be bored out of my mind. Throughout the years the game has gotten increasingly less interesting. The celebrity game is just not enjoyable without Kevin Hart and the Rising Stars game is like the AAA version of college basketball. The Slam Dunk Contest finally redeemed itself last year after having 4 years of insignificance, but this year’s contest has only one real draw: Aaron Gordon. The only fun thing to watch is the Three Point Contest. I’m pretty sure more people watch the TPC than the actual game Sunday night. There’s only one way to enjoy the festivities: DRINKING! To make this weekend more interesting, here are 15 ways for you and your friends to spice it up while you watch the game:

  1. A player takes a shot that’s not a three or a dunk/layup (Take a sip of beer)
  2. When a ref calls a foul (Take a shot)
  3. The commentators talk about Durant and Westbrook (Take a shot)
  4. Curry plays weird oral games with his mouthguard (Take a sip of beer)
  5. Every time Kevin Hart’s name comes up during the Celebrity game (Take a sip of Beer)
  6. Phil Jackson and Carmelo Anthony are mentioned in the same sentence (Take a shot)
  7. Kobe mentioned for having the most total All-Star game points of all time (Take a sip of beer and a shot out of respect)
  8. Warriors blew a 3–1 lead (Take a shot for celebration)
  9. The East actually wins the All-Star game (Chug a beer)
  10. Russell Westbrook’s 27 triple-doubles are mentioned (Take a shot)
  11. Giannis Antetokounmpo name is pronounced incorrectly (Take a sip of beer) (If it’s pronounced correctly, take two)
  12. Every time Joel Embiid’s Twitter is mentioned (Take a shot)
  13. Aaron Gordon doesn’t win the Slam Dunk Contest (Chug a beer)
  14. Some type of communication between Westbrook and Durant (Drink a 6 pack in 6 minutes)
  15. Draymond Green kicks someone in the balls (Do a spit take with beer because that’s just goddamn funny)
