It's no surprise that NBA players have opted to join the video game tournament. During the season, clips and photos of several NBA stars have surfaced online, featuring them casually enjoying Fortnite.
The offseasonĀ is the perfect time for these players to forget about basketball for a minute and lock on in their joysticks and controllers.
As reported by Leo Sepkowtiz of Bleacher Report, Drummond of the Detroit Pistons admitted that Fortnite took over his life when his teammate Reggie Jackson introduced it to him:
āIt took my life over from there,ā says Drummond.
Ross of the Orlando Magic, for his part, compared it to the Hunger Games, noting that one has to outthink every player:
āBasically, it's like the Hunger Games,ā he says. āOne hundred people on a map, survival gameāfind your supplies, weapons, materials. And basically after that, it's every man for himself.ā (Or every team for itselfāyou can play in a duo or a quad.)
āIt's all about awareness, knowing where stuff's at,ā he says. āIt's so funny because people think you take it too seriously, but it's actually a little more military than people think. Someone's coming south, west, here, thereāyou have to outthink all 99 people.ā
The Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am will start on Tuesday, June 12 at 6:30 pm ET.
