For the uninitiated, Fortnite, a Battle Royale-inspired sandbox game from Epic Games, is a huge deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. Guard Josh Hart is the biggest fan, as he's been known to have played it for 10 straight hours before a game against Cleveland. We're talking about practice, right? Look, he even broke out the bandages at one game.

But that arguably pales in comparison to the 23 year-old having a pair of Fortnite-inspired custom game shoes made. Whether he's allowed to wear them in-game though, is another story — for what it's worth, he did score 10 points in that game despite sporting them only during shoot-around.

Former teammate Larry Nance Jr. is known to be part of the circle (and continues to be one despite being traded to a different conference) as well as standout rookie Kyle Kuzma. The latter's participation even lead to a viral video that could have gotten the team in trouble again for tampering — and yes, it involves the Thunder's Paul George again (a player that's constantly bombarded with rumors that he's L.A.-bound as soon as free agency starts) — albeit in a poorly veiled attempt in being subtle.
