Tiger King may easily be one of Netflix’s most popular creations seeing how it so deeply permeated the discourse of society. This includes the gaming sector, where one player used NBA 2K20 to faithfully recreate some of the people that were part of the Tiger King documentary.
Thanks to YouTuber 2kToro, the main people of the Tiger King cast have been made as basketball players in NBA 2K20. This includes the titular Tiger King, Joe Exotic, as well as Carol Baskin, Jeff Lowe, and Doc Antle.
A YouTube video shows the custom players in action, with Doc Antle and Joe Exotic on one team, and Carol Baskin and Jeff Lowe on the other. The video can be seen below.
While imperfect, the basketball players are pretty close to their real-life counterparts, especially Joe Exotic, who sports a blonde mullet and cap throughout the documentary. Further, the detail of Team Exotic’s tiger jerseys and Team Baskin’s leopard print jerseys is also hilarious.
It seems as though we are bound to get more creations along these lines going forward. These Netflix hits do eventually falter in popularity, but Tiger King has the spotlight for now. Now doubt more content creators will use this as an opportunity to mesh Tiger King with popular games.
