    If you haven't heard yet there's a new game on the Facebook Messenger App and its crazy addictive.

    And it all starts when you send someone the basketball emoji.

    The game is simple, just swipe your finger up to "toss" the ball into the net.

    It's pretty much like playing actual basketball, right?

    Your friends at first may be resistant, but don't let the haters get you down.

    So if you're competitive, want to waste time, and wish to develop carpal tunnel in your thumb then this game is for you.

    So challenge your friends, your family, that random girl you met that one time at a party because virtual ball is life.
