There's A Hidden Basketball Game On Facebook Messenger

Have you ever been talking to anyone on Facebook Messenger and thought... Christ. I'm really bored. I don't want to know that you're at your nan's having the best roast dinner of your life.

I don't want to know that McDonald's Monopoly is back. I just want to be distracted away from the fact that I'm waiting at the train station, and conversation with you is slightly better than staring at the floor.

WELL. Facebook has sorted you out, my friend. If your friends are boring and you can't be bothered talking to them, show them up with your mad skills at virtual basketball.

Step one

Update the Messenger app on your phone.

Step two

Send the 'basketball emoji' to the person who's boring you.
