Kevin Durant refuses IShowSpeed's request to do Cristiano Ronaldo's SUI celebration while playing 1v1 basketball with the YouTube streamer
YouTube star IShowSpeed recently released a video with professional basketball player Kevin Durant, where the two played HORSE for a couple of minutes. IShowSpeed may be known for his football (soccer) content, but the 19-year-old has collaborated with high-profile athletes from different sports.
The streamer was a recent guest on the IMPAULSIVE podcast with Kevin Durant. It looks like the two played a 1v1 game of HORSE on the course where the podcast took place.
IShowSpeed is known to be quite good at sports. However, he was no match for Durant, who easily beat him at the game. After the NBA star won, the content creator hilariously barked at him to show his frustration.
Another memorable moment from the 1v1 HORSE game was when IShowSpeed asked Durant to do Cristiano Ronaldo's 'SUI' celebration after scoring. The Phoenix Suns player rebuked him, saying:
"Hell nah I am not doing that!"
"Don't think he liked me that much": IShowSpeed talks about playing basketball with Kevin Durant
Twitch and YouTube stars like Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed have become really popular in the last few years, scoring high-profile collaborations with celebrity artists and athletes.
IShowSpeed recently did an IRL live stream with former football star Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The two even went to an AC Milan establishment, where the streamer signed a fake contract with the Serie A club.
The content creator also linked up with Kevin Durant while shooting for a recent episode of the IMPAULSIVE podcast. Before the episode was filmed, he played a game of HORSE with the NBA star and released a video on his secondary YouTube channel Live Speedy on July 10.
IShowSpeed, who was handily beaten by Durant, took some time to reflect on doing a 1v1 with the Phoenix Suns star.
While explaining how he owned shoes inspired by Durant while growing up, the YouTuber noted that the player probably does not like him that much and thanked him for playing with him:
"It was fun playing with KD, but I lost. I don't think he really liked me, but it was fun. You know, I've watched him while growing up. Bought all his shoes, KD 7s, KD 8s, KD 9s. That's my boy. KD if you watch this I love you. Peace out, great video. Thanks for doing the HORSE thing for me. Peace out, shout out to PRIME."
It is not clear exactly when the video with Kevin Durant was filmed, considering IShowSpeed is currently in Europe to watch the UEFA Euros 2024. While he has not seen a match since his favorite team, Portugal, was eliminated, there is a possibility that he will be there to watch the final on July 13, 2024.
