Twitch star Kai Cenat recently made his "professional" basketball debut in the Little Basketball Association (also known as Little Ballers Association), a fictional league he created as part of a streaming event. The content creator went as far as setting up a parodic event based on the original National Basketball Association drafts.

The NBA drafts are where teams participating in this league select new players or emerging talents. Hilariously, the LBA draft saw Cenat failing to make the top three picks at his own event, which was attended by individuals posing as deliverymen and astronauts. In fact, even an infant and Kai Cenat's mother were drafted before the streamer.

This article outlines the current statistics of Cenat's playtime within the league and highlights some memorable moments from his debut game, which saw him going up against aspiring junior basketball players.


Exploring Kai Cenat's LBA statistics and memorable moments from Game 1

The game took place between the Dallas Giants and NYC Skyscrapers, with New York native Kai Cenat being on the latter team. The content creator saw an explosive start to his first game in the Little Ballers Association, committing four fouls within the first quarter itself.

Later, he got two rebounds, having retrieved the ball twice after failing to get field goals. He had also blocked an attempt by the opponent team to get a field goal. His clips from the event have gone massively viral on X, with some garnering more than two million views.

One video being shared on social media shows the extent of the production value of the event organized by Cenat. Its initial shot was a sky view of the indoor stadium where the event was being held. The next one showed the NYC Skyscrapers, including Kai Cenat, making their way out of their bus and into the venue at OTE Arena Atlanta, Georgia.

Another clip featured Cenat being blocked by a member of the opponent team from getting to the hoop. Despite the match involving junior players, the content creator faced fierce competition, with him even being taken to the ground after having one of his attempts at the field goal blocked.

The streamer, looking comically annoyed, could be seen instigating an opponent team member after his fall.

Fortunately for the NYC Skyscrapers, they eventually won their match against the Dallas Giants, marking Kai Cenat's first win in his "professional" basketball career in his very first game. The streamer could be seen giving his team a motivational speech after the win to hype them up. He also gave the NYC Skyscrapers' coach a shout-out during the address.


The LBA basketball draft itself made for some hilarious moments, with Cenat becoming the 24th overall pick at the event. After the creator was selected last and being placed under the NYC Skyscrapers, he could be seen cussing out his opponents during his acceptance speech.
