SO, A 20-SOMETHING New Jersey resident sent the NBA an e-mail on 19 April declaring his eligibility for the 2013 NBA Draft “after a few drinks.”
A fellow Reddit user left this comment speculating on how the night went down, and nemoran called it “scarily accurate:”
“I bet I could play in the NBA…”“What? Dude, you’re sh*tfaced…”
“Nah, dude I averaged like 15 my senior year and we went to state. I bet I could play in the NBA.”
Much to his surprise, this dead-serious letter appeared at his doorstep a few weeks later. It says that he’s no longer eligible for the draft, but ends on a hilariously hopeful note:
“As a result, you were eligible for the draft immediately following your senior year, and are now a free agent who is eligible to sign with any NBA team.”
The letter in full:
So, we guess he could sign with a team any day now.
Here’s the e-mail he sent in a few weeks ago:

Thank you for the coverage and reports on all the different sports. Would there be any chance that there could be a match report on each of the camogie matches please rather than lumping them all together in the one story? Just like hurling, football, soccer, ladies football etc.
