On Friday night in Indianapolis, popular YouTuber Kai Cenat attended the celebrity game during NBA All-Star weekend featuring Warriors star Steph Curry.
Curry arrived wearing gray sweatpants, and Cenat appeared all black with a cigar in his lips.
Fans online noticed one distinct difference between the two guys as soon as they were strolling side by side. Despite just being 5-foot-3, Cenat participated in the celebrity basketball game. At six feet two, Curry appears smaller than most of his NBA peers and towering above Cenat.
Despite playing little and only scoring four points, Cenat, who was a member of the winning squad, was on the verge of tears while the trophies were being presented. And his presence gave the internet a field day. On social media, a fan said that Kai is the only basketball player who could make Steph seem taller.
Another basketball fan said about Cenat, “He looks like one of those kids that dresses up as an adult to get on a rollercoaster.”
Someone on X said, “Steph be looking like his bodyguard.”
During the game, Cenat was mostly disregarded by his teammates, including by Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, who was named the game’s MVP.
Instead of sending the ball to Cenat, who was hopping about in search of the pass, Parsons chose to throw an air ball.
