On the second day of Fanatics Fest NYC, fans once again have the rare opportunity to meet their favorite sports stars. On the first day of the festival, the popular YouTuber IShowSpeed took part in some of the many events. Particularly notable was when the internet streamer tried to show off his athleticism in front of NBA star Josh Hart and rappers Lil Wayne.
In a video that went viral, the 19-year-old attempted to do a backflip while standing on the armrests of a sofa while Hart sat. The feat was expected to have the crowd cheering wildly, but the New York Knicks player was having none of it.
In the clip Josh Hart He could be seen visibly struggling to trust Speed with the backflip as he attempted to walk away, while Lil Wayne could be heard telling the streamer to be careful as he attempted to perform the acrobatic move.
You might just kick Josh. Be careful okay, you might just kick Josh on the face!Lil Wayne said
Putting on a Cristiano Ronaldo Portugal jersey, Speed refused to give in and performed his backflip stunt with another person instead. Hart, in turn, switched to another chair and joined the crowd in the countdown. Despite this, thanks to his determination, IShowSpeed eventually managed to pull off the backflip and received loud applause from the crowd, including the Knicks star.
And as it turns out, that’s exactly what makes Fanatics Fest so appealing to fans. The event was also star-studded, mostly sports stars and legends. However, other well-known personalities were also present, such as famous rapper Lil Wayne, with basketball players Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart sharing the stage.
Kevin Durant makes fun of IShowSpeed for his annoying behavior on the podcast
When IShowSpeed recently appeared on Logan Paul’s podcast “Impaulsive,” his behavior apparently got on the nerves of Kevin Durant who wasted no time throwing witty jabs at him. One of the standout moments that sparked reactions from fans was when Speed looked at Kevin Durant like he was his secret crush, unsettling the Phoenix Suns star in a matter of seconds.
Another moment during the podcast was when NBA star Speed told that he couldn’t make comparisons to him. In that moment, Durant made it clear once again that he wasn’t just joking, but he really had enough of the YouTuber.
The streamer is widely known for his intense personality that not everyone is fond of. And in the 35-year-old’s case, he didn’t hold back from mocking Speed whenever he got the chance.
