"They may pick him up & dunk him" - NBA fans troll Kai Cenat for claiming 45-pt stat line with Ice Spice on sideline ahead of All-Star Celebrity game
Kai Cenat, American YouTuber and online streamer, is one of many celebrities playing in the 2024 Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday. It appears like the internet sensation is in the mood to leave his mark on the game.
When a reporter asked Cenat about his preparation going into the game, the YouTuber predicted his stat line:
“Tonight, we dropping 30. If Ice Spice is on the sideline, we are dropping 45 (points), 10 assists, 17 rebounds.
Cenat had a cigar in his right hand and a duffle bag in his left. Cenat is just 5-3 and given the average height that he might have to go against, it wouldn’t be easy for him to score points.
NBA fans on X/Twitter took notice of the numbers that Cenat promised and trolled him ruthlessly on social media.
Alluding to Cenat’s short height, one of the fans wrote, “My boy is 4 1/2 feet tall, they may pick him up and dunk him.”
One fan swapped out the categories to poke fun at the YouTuber.
“45 claps 10 bricks and 17 laps around the court.”
Kai Cenat battled with kids to prepare for 2024 NBA Celebrity All-Star game
Maybe the big numbers that Kai Cenat promised are due to the intense preparation that the media star put in before he showed up for the game. In a recent video that he posted on X/Twitter, Cenat looked intense and in full preparation mode.
He entered the basketball court with a fierce look on his face. In his signature dreadlocks, Cenat was seen flaunting matching red color headbands and shoes before he took to the court in the video. Just when the viewers were ready to watch him torch his opponents, he was seen playing against little kids.
With every basket that Cenat made, he was seen celebrating and talking trash.
Cenat will play for Team Shannon Sharpe in the All-Star Celebrity Game. He will be joined by other known faces such as Lilly Singh and five-time WNBA All-Star Jewell Loyd from the Seattle Storm.
This year, the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game will feature an LED court, a new innovative design to add to the experience and entertainment. It will also feature different graphics throughout the game. ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith and his co-host Shannon Sharpe will go against each other as coaches for the opposing teams.
