streamers such as Devin Booker and Ben Simmons < wpparagraph > < wpparagraph > In the Slam tournament Fox was a member of the winning team both weeks alongside Meyers Leonard and Josh Hart Fox made winning plays for the team consistently and posted a positive KD at 11 Fox is one of the funniest players that are on streams which makes me impartial to him as a player but his skill backs it up as well < wpparagraph > < wpparagraph > Fox will have to take a short break from the intense gaming for the NBA playoffs next month but can show off his talent to the other players when they take each other on in video games in Orlando < wpparagraph > < wplist orderedtrue > <ol><li>Meyers Leonard<li><ol> < wplist > < wpparagraph > At the top of the list Meyers Leonard stands alone as the best Call of Duty player in the NBA Leonard has had a long love for video games and puts a lot of time into perfecting his stream and gameplay Leonard has said that he wants to make streaming a career while
