Twitch streamer Kai Cenat recently collaborated with NBA professional and Dallas Mavericks team member Kyrie Irving as part of his ongoing subathon, the Mafiathon 2. Currently in its last days, the streaming marathon will go on until the end of November 2024.
However, during Cenat and Kyrie Irving's conversations in the livestream, a particular action by the Australian-born player involving his water bottle caught the notice of viewers online.
Kyrie Irving could be seen peeling off and throwing away the label of the bottle he was about to drink out of. Netizens online interpreted the move as him trying to avoid accidentally promoting the product without getting paid for it.
Some netizens praised the basketball player, labeling as him being business-minded and aware of his "worth":
"Dude knows his worth," wrote X user @bull_invests
"Bros on point he knows his worth," wrote X user @imloops_
"Kyrie all about business when it comes to his name, " wrote X user @LNFchrome
However, some other users suggested that the action may have been done with different intentions than simply trying to avoid inadvertently promoting the product:
"I do that so I can tell my water bottle apart from everyone else’s," wrote X user @NickiiKurosaki
"I thought he took the label off to know which one was his," wrote X user @jaaysowavyy
