Kevin Durant Shows Major Love To IShowSpeed Following The 3-Point Contest. The NBA Star Said The Viral Creator Proved 'He Can Do It All.'

IShowSpeed has left Kevin Durant quite impressed with his show of athleticism. The famous streamer recently collaborated with Durant on the fourth episode of his series, Speed Goes Pro. The two ran drills together on the basketball court.

The episode saw them having fun competing with each other in different basketball challenges. Speed went head-to-head against Durant in combined shooting exercises, a pickup game, and a 3-point shootout game.

Durant was asked about the time he spent with Speed after the episode dropped. It certainly seemed like Durant had fun with the popular content creator during the episode of the series. He confirmed that assumption and had high praise for Speed, declaring him an athlete who can do it all. Durant further added that he wants to bring him out for a Houston Rockets game.

“Speed is just an athlete, man. He can do it all,” Durant said. “Streamers and guys creating content every day, man — It’s a tough, tough job to do. I’ve really got respect for what Speed brings to the culture. And that was fun. I wanna try to get him out to a Rockets game for sure.”

Fans Were Surprised At Durant’s Praise For Speed

Kevin Durant doesn’t easily give out praise for anyone. In fact, the Houston Rockets star loves to make fun of and troll his teammates more than anyone. However, it seems that Speed impressed him a lot during their time shooting the episode for the Speed Goes Pro series.

The fans were shocked at this praise coming from KD himself. We’ve seen the famous Twitch streamer impress athletes before with his skills. He shocked Tom Brady once in an episode from the series with his high jump and 100-yard dash.

Reporters asked Durant if Speed posed him a challenge when they competed with each other. The Rockets star played it cool this time and said no, but still praised him for being super fast. He stated that Speed is more of a football player than a basketball star.

Of course not,” Durant said. “But Speed is fast, though. Boy, he more of a football player than me, I think. But he’s an athlete.”

Durant Has Trolled The Streamer Heavily In The Past

Kevin Durant’s praise for IShowSpeed is certainly shocking, considering how much he trolled the 20-year-old streamer in the past. On an episode of Logan Paul’s podcast, Impaulsive, that featured both KD and Speed, the jokes kept coming from the Rockets player. Most of them were at the Speed’s expense as well.

However, it seems that Durant has changed his perception of Speed after seeing his athletic ability. It looks like every other athlete that competes with him has something impressive to say about the famous content creator.
