"Been Begging for This Since NBA Street" - Fans Hyped About New 3x3 Game Headlined by Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo 

For years, NBA fans have been asking for another video game to play the game they love so much.

Of course, the NBA 2K saga is one of the most successful in the industry, and adding those online games worked wonders to keep the fans engaged and playing some version of streetball as well.

Now, according to a report by NBA Central, the fans will have an actual streetball video game to enjoy:

"A new 3v3 street basketball game called NBA The Run is coming from Play by Play Studios in partnership with the NBA and NBPA, bringing back the vibes of NBA Jam and NBA Street," reported Central.

The game cover features well-established superstars like Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, joined by up-and-coming stars like LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, and Cooper Flagg.

Needless to say, it didn't take long before the fans flooded social media with their thoughts on this matter.

Here are some of the best reactions:

@TheDunkCentral @ClutchPoints No. We want REAL basketball! @EASPORTS needs to bring back NBA Live and give NBA 2K some competition.

Giannis Antetokounmpo shuts down Knicks trade rumors

Notably, that's not the only reason why Giannis Antetokounmpo has made the rounds lately.

Besides his involvement in this new 3-v-3 video game, the reports of his alleged interest in being traded to the New York Knicks stole the headlines before the start of the season.

When asked about that, however, the former MVP shut down the narrative right away:

"Who said that? I don't read that. I don't remember that. Right now I'm here, representing my team and that's it," Antetokounmpo said, per CBS Sports. "We beat the Knicks. [The trade rumor] doesn't really matter. What matters right now is we have a game in two days against Golden State, try to stay locked in and get two in a row. I didn't read that article. Try to stay away from all that -- rumors, speculation and trades and all this. It doesn't concern me one bit."

Antetokounmpo dominated the Knicks in their first matchup of the season. He had 37 points on 22 shots, adding eight rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and two blocks to lead his team to a 121-111 home win over Mike Brown's team.

And as much as the fans will continue to speculate about his future with the Bucks, he's only focused on the things he can control, and he'll give it all to Milwaukee for as long as he's there.
