Predicting a 30-point performance, Kai Cenat talked a big game ahead of last year’s NBA All-Star Celebrity game. But the renowned streamer did not get much playing time, and even when he did, the ball barely touched his hands. His frustration was evident as he stood with a disappointed look on his face during the trophy presentation ceremony, turning into a viral meme. Well, Cenat is back for redemption in Oakland tonight. And he seems ready for the challenge, as this time, he has his good pal, Druski, on the other side.

Before heading to the hardwood for the game, Cenat and Druski bumped into each other in the tunnel and exchanged some words. Kai issued a stern warning to the comedian and every member of Team Rice and Lame, “I’m telling you. Imma see you out there bro after you talk a lot of smack.”

Of course, the banter was all in good fun as Kai and Druski are long-time streaming buddies, but the pressure of putting on a better show than last time would surely be on Cenat’s mind.

Turns out, his team coach, 2 Chainz, has a pre-planned strategy to help him achieve that goal. During a conversation before tip-off, the millionaire rapper said to Cenat, “Listen, man. I already got a game plan for you. Every time you get it, I need you to pass it.”

Sure enough, the streamer was not pleased with the idea of giving up a shooting opportunity. However, 2 Chainz clarified, “They gonna pass it back to you and then you can shoot. I want you to work to get open.”

The rapper also hyped Cenat up by helping him understand his role, “Coz you a leader. And leaders run the one and you the one.” Although skeptical about the idea, Kai assured the rapper that he would stick to the game plan, “No shooting first option? Okay, I got you bro… Imma do my best alright.”

However, it is highly likely that the advice will be ignored once Kai’s competitive juices get going and he hits the hardwood because he has already made a bold prediction for tonight.

Kai Cenat makes a bold scoring prediction after demanding playing time from Coach

Still haunted by the memory of what happened last year, Kai made it clear that he wanted his minutes on the court this time. As he announced his participation in the Celebrity game, Kai said on his stream, “Shannon Sharpe, whoever the coach is. If you don’t give me minutes, I’m going to be upset. Give me the minutes that I need.”

Of course, Shannon was his team’s coach last year. The streamer also had a stern warning for his teammates, “If anybody gets ball hogging, I’m taking that s—.”

Well, it’s clear that Cenat wants the ball in his hands for more opportunities to score buckets. Before heading to the arena, he even made a bold scoring prediction for tonight: “Of course I’m ready. Dropping 30 today.”

Obviously, he is unlikely to get the thirty-piece if he sticks to 2 Chainz’s strategy of playing pass first. So, you can expect Kai to put some wild shots up regardless of the game plan. Do you think he can achieve his goal this time and get redemption?
