NBA 2K League pros criticize Ninja for \u201clame\u201d response to poll vs oLARRY2K Bucks Gaming – Twitter \/ Ninja – TwitchA simple poll for best esports moment for the ESPYS became heated after several NBA 2K League players criticized Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2018 Blevins for encouraging fans to simply vote, instead of encouraging fans to vote for oLARRY2K. ESPN has been running a poll on Twitter in an effort to crown the \u2018best esports moment\u2019 and the current matchup is Ninja and Marshmello\u2019s victory at the 2018 Fortnite Pro-Am against Timothy \u2018oLARRY2K\u2019 Anselimo and his return to the 2K League. Both moments are very impressive, but given the context of Larry coming back from a shooting on August 28 where a gunman targeted a Madden tournament, many fans are rooting for him. It’s time for the final @ESPYS vote for best #esports moment! Will it be No. 11 @oLARRY2K’s return to the @NBA2KLeague? Or No. 13 @Ninja and @marshmellomusic’s win at E3 @FortniteGame ProAM? Vote here on Twitter!

He was picked in the inaugural draft for the 2K League but was found in an horrific situation when he was shot four times during the Madden event. SportsCenter did a feature on him detailing his full story that is worth checking out for more insight into the situation. In case you don\u2019t know about @oLARRY2K, I recommend taking a few minutes to learn about his incredible comeback. @SportsCenter @JenLada @NBA2KLeague @CavsLegionGC pic.twitter.com\/PqFffWwJcQ \u2014 Jeff Eisenband (@JeffEisenband) June 24, 2019 After the shooting, he learned Bucks Gaming, his 2K League team, would not be bringing him back but he ended up being picked up by Twolves Gaming, where he was then traded to Cavs Legion. Through physical therapy and using a new grip for his controller, he was able to return to the 2K League. His story has been inspiring which is why so many of the players have taken offense with how Ninja has responded to the poll. Ninja was way behind in votes but sent out a tweet on July 9 asking fans who love Ninja, Marshmello, and Fortnite to vote for him. After realizing who he was up against, he reworded the tweet, asking fans to just simply vote. Just realized who I am up against. Honestly I dont wanna win against him. Just at least vote \u2014 Ninja (@Ninja) July 9, 2019 Many 2K League players didn\u2019t like how he handled this and called him out on it. \u201cI can\u2019t believe Ninja and Marshmello are in the lead to win,\u201d Mavs Gaming player MambaMo tweeted. \u201cThat\u2019s actually sickening\u2026. \u2018At least vote\u2019 .. who are we fooling?\u201d I can\u2019t believe Ninja and Marshmello are in the lead to win.
