2022 YouTube Streamy Awards - Inside
NBA fans react to Kai Cenat playing against kids in preparation for NBA Celebrity Game.

YouTuber and online streamer Kai Cenat is one of several celebrities invited to participate in the 2024 Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday. Cenat prepared for the game by playing against kids, and NBA fans are wheezing over the viral video.

In the video below, Cenat was ready to take over the court, and it was like his own hoops mixtape. He had his signature dreadlocks with red headbands and shoes. He was looking great warming up and about to drop a lot of points against his opponents.

However, by the 20-second mark, Cenat was hilariously playing against kids below 10 years old. He was completely dominant on both sides of the ball, shooting over the kids and blocking their shots with ease.

He was so pumped up about every basket he made, celebrating his huge accomplishment on the court.

NBA fans on social media couldn't get enough of the hilarious video posted by Kai Cenat. Many pointed out how he was taller than all the kids and how funny it was to see him take it seriously. Others just took shots at him, his skills and his height.

One fan wrote:

"Skill based matchmaking."

One fan made fun of Cenat's height, which is around five-foot-four:

"Imagine the parents. They probably thought he was an actual kid too."

Another had jokes:

"Gonna tell my future kids this was Derrick Rose."
