WATCH: YouTube Star STREAKS Through NBA Finals With ‘Trump Sucks’ Painted On His Chest


The website Mediaite is reporting a hilariously odd moment from a basketball game last night. It was game four of National Basketball Association finals. The Cleveland Cavaliers were in a tough fight against the Golden State Warriors.

There were only about two minutes left in the game at Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena. Suddenly, a shirtless man rant onto the court, his chest and back smeared with paint.

On his back were the words “LeBron 4 President,” a reference to the Cavaliers star player, LeBron James.

Even better, though, the paint on the man’s chest read “Trump Sucks.”

Security quickly surrounded the guy and he was escorted off the court in a hurry.

YouTube fans might have recognized the painted streaker as Vitaly Zdorovetskiy. He has a YouTube channel with more than 9 million subscribers. He once climbed the Hollywood sign and publicized it on social media.

Zdorovetsky starred in the movie Natural Born Pranksters with Roman Atwood and Dennis Roady, both fellow YouTube stars.

The prankster with the paint once rushed the field at a professional soccer match during the World Cup finals in 2014. The match was between Germany and Argentina, but the Russian born Zdorvetskiy wanted to make his mark. This time, paint on his chest said “Natural born prankster.” The broadcasters of the match cut away to deny the streaker his moment of fame.

Ironically, Zdorvetskiy’s stunt was made public anyway, because none other than LeBron James himself captured it on video. James posted the video to his Instagram account.

Hahaha!! We’re going streaking! Everyone’s doing it. Man that was hilarious. #WorldCupFinal #Brazil

At the basketball game last night, Zdorvetskiy was hustled quickly to the sidelines, where he was still talking to the police about a half hour after the game had ended, but he was eventually arrested.

I hope he had fun with his prank and his arrest, because his team lost to Golden State.

Here is a short video of the arrest. If you want more Vitaly, check out his channel, VitalydzTv.
