Kai Cenat Facing Backlash Online
Official stats, reflected a single shot made, one halftime tweet, and a solitary block, which came from none other than Rubi Rose. The latter, a playful request for Cenat to score 30 points on her behalf during the game, turned into a whimsical jab in the final stat lineup.
Team Shannon’s victory was hard-fought, keeping the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game suspenseful throughout the evening. However, Cenat’s point contribution fell short of expectations, triggering a wave of online ridicule.

Social media platforms, especially X/Twitter, became flooded with posts dissecting Cenat’s performance during the February 16, 2024, NBA All-Star Weekend game.
Critics seized upon the singular block from Rubi Rose, with some claiming they could have easily scored 30 points had they been in Cenat’s shoes. Others pointed out the lack of ball distribution to Cenat, deeming it nearly impossible for him to elevate his scoring output.
Comparisons to professional NBA players surfaced in the commentary, with one X user highlighting a Tony Snell-esque stat line of doing nothing in 28 minutes. Another post humorously suggested that Cenat fancied himself as the next Steph Curry.
Despite the online vitriol, some users expressed appreciation for the young streamer and his overall contributions. Amid the criticism, acknowledgments were made of Cenat’s ability to score and gratitude for his presence on the grand stage of the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game.
