LeBron James Shaves Kai Cenat's Head on Record-Breaking Twitch Stream

The NBA legend delivered on his promise to the streamer, capping off 'Mafiathon 3.’

Besides being a legendary basketball player, LeBron James is a part-time barber.

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar appeared, with his daughter and her friends,  on Kai Cenat’s “Mafiathon 3” stream to cut his hair to commemorate his reaching one million subscribers on Twitch. 

Previously, Cenat became the first Twitch streamer to record 500,000 subscribers in November 2024. The following month, he broke his own record with 728,535 subscribers.

Also during the live stream, James gifted Cenat a Lakers-themed Audemars Piguet watch, valued at $200,000, and some new unreleased LeBron XXIIIs for him and his friends.

Concluding his appearance, James gave a motivational speech to Cenat’s viewers.

“If you’re somebody growing up without a mom, without a dad, without siblings, without a passion, without a goal, without life in general, it’s not over for you,” James said on the stream.

“Everyone has a purpose. You just have to find that purpose and tap into that purpose. You’re going to need somebody,” James continued. “Nobody can do it by themselves.”

“Don’t worry about the haters. They ain’t [expletive]. Don’t worry about the naysayers, because they ain’t sh*t,” James added. “Whenever you’re feeling a way about yourself, you look in the mirror and you say, ‘you are the only thing that matters.'”
