Do you love sports? How about basketball? Do you wish there were more emotes in Fortnite that communicated your love of the game to others? Well, now there is! The new Baller emote is in the shop right now as of this evening, and you can make it yours right now if you so choose.
It appears it could actually be based on LeBron James, based on the character’s look. It seems pretty close, though of course the emote is called “Baller” and there’s no official word on what it’s based on. It’s a cool look, no matter who it’s modeled after!

The Baller emote was just one of the leaked Fortnite skins and emotes after the update v4.3 datamine, including other emotes such as “Boogie Down,” “Laugh,” and “Zippy,” all of which will likely be coming to the game soon. They’ll likely just trickle out like the rest of the updates that get added to Fortnite on the daily.
If you’re jonesing for more emotes and skins, make sure you keep an eye on the official Fortnite Twitter account, for additional back bling, gliders, and pickaxes that come with the territory. There’s a lot of content still to come that we don’t know about, but as soon as we hear about additional items you can purchase, we’ll make sure you know about it. There’s always the potential for that one new item or emote to become the newest Fortnite meme, and you know we’re always here for it.
And you never know — with the potential that Fortnite could be making its way to Nintendo Switch, we could possibly see Nintendo-related skins in the future. Hey, dont laugh — it could happen!
