It’s not just us who’ve noticed there are more pro athletes streaming on Twitch these days. ESPN confirms it.
Whether it’s Luka Doncic asking for help on how to put together a streaming setup or Meyers Leonard claiming he’s the best gamer in the NBA or Dale Earnhardt Jr. competing in an exhibition eNASCAR race alongside other racing pros, athletes have fully embraced gaming and streaming in a way no other celebrities have at this moment. Teams such as the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks have gotten in on the act by playing out their originally scheduled NBA matchup in NBA2K on Twitch.
