You know by now that a great number of professional athletes have declared their love for Fortnite. We could, in fact, conduct a fantasy draft of athletes that have copped to playing the game. It’s a rich and soulful tapestry, is our point.
But, there might not be a single professional athlete who has worn their love for the game so loudly. During his big night at the NBA Draft, Kentucky alum Kevin Knox literally had the lining of his suit jacket decorated for the game.
We’ve seen a few players line their suit jacket with various homages, but never to a videogame. Not even NBA 2K! We can only assume that among even basketball players, the majority are taking Fortnite over NBA 2K.
A simliar question was floated to top prospects from Friday’s upcoming NHL Draft, and in that case, yes, most preferred Fortnite to Chel.
An athletic forward from Kentucky, Knox wound up being selected ninth overall by the New York Knicks.
