Head of Twitch and the dark side of power beckon

39-year-old LeBron James is one of the greatest athletes on our planet: he is nicknamed “King James”, has appeared in 10 NBA championship finals and has won 4 rings. For many, the 2.06 m tall Titan is one of the greatest basketball players and athletes who ever lived. Now he asked on December 29th. his fans where to stream if he wants to show the NFL Madden football game. The head of Twitch was there, but people from rival Kick also lured the superstar.

That was the question:

  • On December 29th LeBron James asked his 52.7 million followers on Twitter where he should stream. He plans to play NFL Madden and broadcast its games. What would be the right platform?
  • Like many US basketball players, LeBron James also seems to be into “NFL Madden”: football simulations have been a big thing in the USA for ages.
  • LeBron James is a global icon. With his huge reach on social media, he would certainly be an asset to any platform: like Drake in 2018, he could usher in a new era in gaming and streaming. Back then, Drake showed Fortnite with Ninja and brought Twitch into the mainstream overnight.
  • In fact, you’d think NBA 2k would be King James’ game:

    The head of Twitch is open: You could stream on YouTube at the same time

    This is what the head of Twitch said: A few hours later, Daniel Clancy, the head of Twitch, contacted us. He wrote:

    “I may be a little biased because I run Twitch – but Twitch is the best platform to connect with fans. You could also consider streaming on Twitch and YouTube at the same time.”

    Clancy brings to the fore Twitch’s new policy of no longer focusing on exclusivity, but rather on maximum reach.

    That’s what the people at Kick say: The “usual suspects” from Twitch competitor Kick were also to be found in the news from King James. These include former Twitch streamers who were too controversial for the platform or who indulged in gambling:

  • So Trainwreck lured with a “Come to us.”
  • Twitch’s prodigal son, Adrin Ross, also said that LeBron should come to Kick, he would carry his bag too.
  • The great advocate for kick: Trainwreck.

    What other comments are coming?? People who don’t own shares in any of the workers also chime in in the comments:

  • A third says: Twitch has been promoting weird shit lately, Kick is embarrassing anyway. He should just stream on YouTube to be on the safe side.
  • A Call of Duty news site writes on Twitter: “Twitch or Kick, just stay away from Facebook.”
  • Fans of LeBron James, on the other hand, have different priorities: No matter where he streams, he shouldn’t continue gaming until 1 in the morning when there’s a big game coming up.
  • Kick usually attracts a lot of money, but always has a taste thanks to connections to the gambling platform Stake. And LeBron James has so much money that you can hardly lure him with a better split: Twitch streamer MontanaBlack reveals why he doesn’t switch to Kick: “Then I’ll be the idiot again”
