Professional basketball players have been incorporating virtual reality free throw shooting into their training. At NBA All-Star weekend in New Orleans, fans got a little taste of what that experience is like.

Bud Light, the official beer of the NBA, took over 211 Royal Street in New Orleans’ French Quarter and brought fans an experience featuring live music, classic food and a VR Challenge that allowed fans to practice their form at the line.
