"The Shop went from Jay Z to Kai cenat" - NBA fans go wild as LeBron James collabs with viral Twitch streamer for unexpected podcast crossover

LA Lakers star LeBron James is collaborating with internet sensation and Twitch streamer Kai Cenat. James shared the post from his podcast, "The Shop," showing the upcoming episode. The Instagram post featured Cenat and James together.

While James is arguably the biggest name in basketball, Cenat is the most recognizable figure in streaming. The influencer has a massive following on all social media platforms, but mainly produces his work on Twitch.

The internet personality has collaborated with comedian Kevin Hart, James' former teammate Kyrie Irving and hip-hop artist Drake. Those are just some of the celebrities Cenat has worked with since he became a major name in social media.

After seeing the upcoming guest for the show, fans went wild on X.

"The Shop went from Jay Z to Kai cenat 🥀🥀🥀" a fan said.

"Is this clout chasing too? Or?" another fan said.

"Two people that I don't like," one fan said.

Other fans are excited to see the collaboration.

"Kai really is him bro... He contact list is worth millions," a comment read.

"a Kai Cenat X LeBron James Stream would Break the Internet ngl 🔥" another fan commented.

"That’s a massive W for Kai. From streaming to chilling with the King levels to this! 🔥👑" one fan said.

According to Fanatics, The Shop will have a live show at the "Fanatics Fest." The episode will feature San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, NFL legend Tom Brady, Maverick Carter and Paul Rivera.

LeBron James' son has collaborated with Kai Cenat

Kai Cenat has not let any major opportunity pass. Last year, he had a stream with Kevin Hart and his fellow internet personality, Druski. During the live session, LeBron James' son, Bryce, joined them.

Bryce visited Cenat's streaming location at that time during his "Mafiaton 2." During his appearance, the son of the four-time champion called his dad through FaceTime and surprised Cenat and Druski.

Hart, who is a friend of the Lakers star, nonchalantly took Bryce's phone and dropped the call. The others didn't take it well, reacting with animated disbelief at his move.

Kai Cenat, a devoted fan of the four-time MVP, appeared on ESPN's "First Take" in March and debated Stephen A. Smith. He boldly claimed LeBron James is a better player than Michael Jordan.
