Fans’ pictures of Felix “xQc,” a popular Twitch streamer, sitting differently while watching a Lakers game have once again gone viral online.
The Los Angeles resident was really eager to watch NBA legend LeBron James take on the Grizzlies, and she even left the game with around $300,000 USD after winning a wager on the result. But a photo of him watching from the sidelines went viral on social media, and it was used as a meme on Twitter and Reddit. One supporter uploaded the picture with the caption: “There’s no way xQc is actually sitting like this at an NBA GAME!!!!!”
Tens of thousands of upvotes have been given to a post on the r/memes subreddit containing the image, which has acquired substantial attention. In the meme, Felix is seen watching an NBA game while sitting with his legs raised, and the caption makes fun of players for being stereotypically awkward in public. The streamer announced before the game that he would be attending the Lakers game and that he was looking forward to watching LeBron James and Morant compete. The broadcaster can be heard promising to behave himself while watching the game in a footage that was uploaded to his YouTube clips channel. He then ends the live. He declared: “I can’t believe I am going to see LeBron James IRL. Holy sh*t. I might just be Bron s*xual, to be honest. Also, Ja Morant! Oh my god, what the f*ck, what the f*ck dude. I’m gonna be on my best, I’m chilling.”
The streamer’s enthusiasm for watching LeBron James was also evident in how he tweeted about it before to the game, tagging the basketball legend in the description with the phrase “I saw him.” LeBron and the Lakers weren’t the only winners of the game; xQc also came out on top after placing a wager on it. He disclosed on Twitter that he had wagered over $200,000 on the Los Angeles Lakers to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies at odds of 1.51. In other words, once his team won, he left with a total of around $303,000.
