The popular YouTube creator has also been working with professional athletes, learning from their expertise and occasionally competing with them.
NBA player Kevin Durant recently teamed up with Speed for a 2-on-2 basketball game as part of Speed’s “Speed Goes Pro” series.

Even though they had some disagreements during the game, Durant was quick to acknowledge and compliment Speed’s talent and abilities.
The NBA champion explained that he and the athlete, whom he calls ‘Speed,’ have a strong connection. They first worked together about two years ago on a podcast and a commercial, and this current project is their third collaboration.
It’s really hard work being a streamer or someone who makes content daily. I have a lot of respect for what Speed contributes to the online world, and it’s always entertaining to watch.
