1st Overall NBA Draft Pick Deandre Ayton Posts Hilarious Call of Duty Tweet

One of the most utilized strategies for marketing and advertising a video game franchise in today's industry is through the use of high profile personalities to promote the title on social media. The Call of Duty franchise is no stranger to this practice and often works with NBA players to pormote the yearly release of the popular first person shooter.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 set to release in October of 2018, and it looking to revolutionize the franchise in major ways, it is not surprising to see Activision working with the brightest stars in the NBA to help promote the upcoming game in form of being official Call of Duty partners.

Currently one of the most talked about players in the league is newly minted Phoenix Suns player Deandre Ayton who was selected first overall in this year's NBA Draft. With the Deandre Ayton being one of the most discussed subjects in the world of sports, the Call of Duty franchise was looking for the first overall NBA draft pick to help promote Black Ops 4. 

However, Deandre Ayton's sponsored tweet for Black Ops 4 most likely was not what his agent or Call of Duty had in mind at first.

Perhaps not knowing exactly what he should post in the sponsored Call of Duty tweet, Phoenix Suns player Deandre Ayton decided that a good old copy and paste of the email detailing the Call of Duty tweet should work perfectly fine. With the original sponsored tweet most likely not being what the involved parties had in mind for the promotion, Deandre Ayton posted a revised version of the tweet detailing the excellent time he had experiencing Black Ops 4 with the team behind the development of the next entry in the popular first person shooter franchise. 

Awesome time yesterday with the #BlackOps4 crew. Thanks for having me #CallOfDutyPartner pic.twitter.com/g8MFmlVAAj

Forging himself through fire, Deandre Ayton will surely be ready for his next sponsored tweet, as the highly talented player will likely have many more opportunities offered to him through his career in the NBA.
