Video: Seven-foot journalist pretends he’s an NBA star and all of New York buys it

If you're 7ft tall, have a suit and are heading to America this time next year, one man has shown you how to live the life of a professional sports star

Free booze, parties, fame and even a pierced nipple will be yours. This is exactly what happened when Elite Daily writer (and full-time tall guy) Connor Toole pretended he got drafted in the NBA. He donned a suit, cap and shades and headed down to the Barclays Center to masquerade as an unknown college basketball star ready to be drafted to the pros. His disguise seemed to work like a charm. He posed for photos, signed autographs, found his way backstage at the draft and then went and got a*seholed around New York City with his adoring new fans as the newest member of the Utah Jazz. Well played, sir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsvaQR9hKDI
