KEY POINTS

  • NBA is suspended for at least 30 days after coronavirus case on players
  • Twitter fans of players know their advantage this time as they challenge NBA stars to a game
  • See if you recognize who among them can beat the NBA players on a game

It is not new to athletes, regardless of what sports they play, to be bashed online by their followers. When one player messed up, expect to see some personal attacks on you and on how they feel that they are much better if they were the ones put on the situation.

Now that the NBA announced days ago that they will be suspending all the remaining games this season, most players have turned to video games as they are still waiting for the suspension to be lifted and be out on the court once again. We all know they’re itching to play basketball, but you know they need to have some avenue.

Announcing that they will be either streaming or will be playing a certain game is synonymous with looking for a street fight. Gamers will surely think twice about stepping on the floor and play one-on-one with a legit NBA player given that they’ve devoted all their time making buckets.

This time, there are some NBA players shared with their followers that they will be invading the online gaming scene and legit gamers, and even their followers, see them as prey as they think they can beat these ballers on a virtual court that they’ve dominated themselves. We all know that there is just a little for the players to get some time and play video games during the regular season and that gives them a disadvantage – and that gives the gamers to issue a challenge to these players with no fear.

But Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso might be the most well-rounded gamer of them all as he’s listed the games that he’ll be streaming during the indefinite break.

Who would miss a chance to play alongside, or challenge, the goat?

Sacramento Kings’ De’Aaron Fox also got some challengers calling him out.

Patrick Beverley of the Los Angeles Clippers is still being criticized for his style of play but nobody will dare to challenge him on the court for real, but he’s got a few if we’re talking about gaming.

Memphis Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant is having a great rookie year, but his challengers seem unfazed.

Trae Young has been killing it with Atlanta Hawks, but gamers aren’t amazed by his on-court abilities if he’ll hit the gaming world for at least a month.
