Want to have a go at TikTok’s viral NBA Filter and create your basketball team? Well, here’s how to find it…
If you’ve been on TikTok over the past few weeks, you’ve probably seen a new NBA Filter taking over the app.
It’s being used as part of a new challenge that’s gone viral in February. However, you won’t actually find the filter on TikTok.
Here’s how to do the NBA Filter…
What is the TikTok NBA Filter?
A new filter is going viral on TikTok called the NBA Filter which lets you find out which NBA team will hypothetically draft you. However, it’s also being used as part of the ‘create your NBA team’ challenge.
It’s one of Instagram’s AR filters that lets you play a virtual game on your screen, and when applied, it brings up a bubble above your head that stops when you release the camera button.
The hashtag #NBAFilter has had over 9 million views on TikTok, but if you want to give it a try, you’ll actually have to head to Instagram to find it…
How to find the NBA Filter on TikTok
- Open Instagram and click on ‘Your Story’ at the top of the homepage.
- Slide through all the filter icons at the bottom until you get to ‘Browse Effects’ at the end.
- Click on the magnifying glass in the top right-hand corner to bring up the search bar.
- Search ‘Which NBA Team’ and find the filter by ‘danielpowell_’.
- Click on it and press ‘Try It’.
- Now film your video, save it to your camera roll and then you can upload it to TikTok.
Create your team with the NBA Filter Challenge
The filter is taking over TikTok because it’s part of a new NBA Challenge.
People are using the filter to create their NBA team, selecting players from each team for different positions.
All you have to do is write the different positions on the screen (PG, SG, SF, PF and C) and then use the filter to fill them in.
