The 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend came to an end with all the hype, but Kyrie Irving had other plans for himself—planning his own script, one that didn't involve participating at all. As the fans were wowed by MrBeast's extreme challenge, Kyrie was making it rain—but not with hoops, but with money.
While the crowd danced and cheered for the young fan celebrating their prize money, the cameras caught Kyrie Irving doing... well.... something a little different. He discreetly slipped some cash from the prize pool into his pocket, all while flashing a smile.
As soon as the video went viral, someone (@realdealstunnna) took to his X account and commented:
"Bro went home with $99,993 instead of 100k"
Internet does, what it does the best—turn everything in a memefest! You know fans are going to have a lot to say about this one.
Netizens reacted as Kyrie Irving seemingly stole money from MrBeast’s Challenge
Some users hilariously joked about the whole situation and mocked Kyrie:
"Lmfao he went straight to the vending machine and bought some snacks," a user joked.
"He said lemme hold a dollar", another user hilariously commented.
"So close yet so far!", a netizen wrote.
Some people pointed out that it is like Kyrie forgot the cameras were rolling next to him as if the "big brother" doesn't always watch—especially when you loose cash from the prize pool:
"Like big brother ain’t always watchin," someone wrote.
"Like the cameras are blind! Lol", a user wrote.

About MrBeast's Challenge
The challenge, orchestrated by YouTube star MrBeast, was fairly straightforward at first sight. Damian Lillard needed to make three deep shots from the logo before Barajas even got an opportunity to score one. Well, what seemed like an easy win for Lillard quickly turned into an unexpected twist.
As time expired, Barajas threw up a desperate shot, hoping it would count. Naturally, it banked off the glass and swished through the net like some kind of miracle, leaving everyone to double-check their screens in disbelief.
To keep the All-Star celebrations exciting the league invited a fan from the stands to challenge Damian Lillard for a $100,000 prize. That fan, Jaren Barajas, shocked everyone by sinking a deep three at the buzzer, sending the Chase Center into a frenzy.
