Kevin Durant Praises IShowSpeed’s Athleticism After Viral Pickup Walk-Off

Drake later recalled a UCLA run where Durant left in the same fashion.

Overview

  • Durant said IShowSpeed is “an athlete” who “can do it all” and added that streamers have a “tough, tough job.”
  • The remarks came after Durant’s appearance on Speed Goes Pro, where he and Speed teamed up for a two-on-two against Division I players Zuby Ejiofor and Bryce Hopkins.
  • With the score at 5-0 following a missed floater by Speed, Durant removed his shoes, dapped players, and walked off, a clip that spread widely on social media.
  • Durant later dominated a three-point contest with Speed, answering “Of course not” when asked if it was a battle and joking that people have asked why he doesn’t miss for 20 years.
  • Drake commented on a House of Highlights post to say Durant once left a UCLA pickup in the same way after hitting four straight threes.
