Ah, yes, basketball. A good ol’ fashioned American sport, with guaranteed rioting, bleeped out curse words, and Jack Nicholson with his sunglasses and 20 year old girlfriend watching from the front row. Oh, and also Delonte West boning Lebron’s mom? What? How did I miss that?

Anyway, tonight is game 6 of the NBA finals and the BCU staff is getting excited. With the Lakers back in LA and the series lead by the Celtics, this game is sure to be a thriller. As you know, the BCU staff are the masters of combining drinking with sports, and we’d like to humbly grace you with our findings.

Courtesy of Comedy.com, here is a drinking game for game 6 of the finals.

You will need:

1. 500 Cans of beer (anything but Natural Ice, bleh)
2. Bottle of Hennessy
3. 25-5000 Bottles of Smirnoff Ice (you’ll see why later)
4. One package of old-school Red Solo Cups

To begin, assign everyone a name from the seven below.

Starting Five
The Black Mamba: Every time Kobe Bryant makes a ridiculous shot, this person has to take a ridiculous shot chosen by another player.
Dude Looks Like A Lady: Every time Rajon Rondo steals the ball or passes it behind his back, this person and all the women in the room have to take a swig of beer and/or mixed drink.
The Plumber: This person has to take a shot in the bathroom every time Ray Allen drains a three.
White Man Can’t Jump: This person takes a shot for every time Pau Gasol dunks the ball.
One-Legged Man: This person takes a sip of their drink while standing on one leg every time Andrew Bynum or Kevin Garnett makes a shot.

Role Players
Little Man Syndrome: The shortest person in the party has to take a drink every time Nate Robinson makes a shot.
Lucky Gamer: This person has to roll a pair of dice and take that many drinks every time Lamar Odom makes a shot.

Bonus Shots

Every time Paul Pierce cries like a little girl, down a bottle of Smirnoff Ice (or some other wine cooler). You think you’re man enough to down a Smirnoff Ice now, but wait until you get to the second quarter. Your throat is going to be burning worse than a fire at a toothpick factory.

Ron Artest is fresh off a game-winning layup that helped the Lakers beat the Pheonix Suns in Game 5 of the Conference Finals, but he’s still having trouble finding his shot. Take shot of Hennesy for Ron-Ron for every 3-point shot he makes, or just take one big swig during halftime.

Chug a beer every time Phil Jackson complains about a referee because you know he’s calling them blind, drunk, stupid, or all of the above.

Every time a person pretends to follow sports when they really don’t, take a drink.

Every time that it is mentioned how many times the Lakers and Celtics have faced each other in the NBA Finals (12), everyone has to take a drink of their beer.

Happy drinking, and remember — no one drinks and drives!
