Former XSET Star Shocks Fans by “Announcing” LeBron James and Michael Jordan As 100 Thieves Members

100 Thieves, the premier lifestyle brand and gaming organization, has a mighty roster. Having streaming sensations like Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter, Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop, and Matt ‘Nadeshot’ Haag as owners of the organization already makes it a major player in the eSports scene. But the organization also has some famous names representing them, and in a hilarious twist, people might soon associate LeBron James with the brand.

XSET Nate, a social media manager for top eSports players, recently posted an image to his Twitter. And it has accrued some wild reactions from his followers.

100 Thieves Valorant gets LeBron James?

Nate Schanker recently left XSET, and in his own words is a “restricted free agent as I start my trial with @100Thieves Valorant.” Accordingly, he has kicked things off with his signature brand of humor with a hilarious meme sporting NBA superstar LeBron James himself. The caption reads:

“It’s time to stop losing. Welcome Lebron James to @100Thieves Valorant!”

Significantly, Nate seems to be alluding to 100 Thieves’ recent losses suffered during NA VCT Challengers One main event. The organization played two matches with fresh entries to their roster in Hunter ‘BabyJ’ Schline and Adam ‘ec1s’ Eccles. However, both matches accrued losses for the organization.

After the unenviable 0-2 start to their Champions Tour run, 100Thieves released both BabyJ and ec1s from the roster. Notably, both players were with the team for barely more than a month. Additionally, Nadeshot let off some steam in a Twitter post saying.

With this context in mind, it becomes easier to make sense of Nate’s hilarious tweet. It is a nice way to insert some humor into an otherwise serious situation and his followers are loving it.

And some of his followers had some witty responses of their own:

Too late for that.

Significantly, Lebron’s son, Bronny James, joined the eSports organization FaZe Clan in 2020. Although the partnership offered him no financial benefit, it heavily influenced his social pedigree. And since Lebron is not planning to join 100 Thieves soon, fans would love to see the father and son take on each other in a friendly battle royale match instead.
