He told Shannon Sharpe, “I believe I can beat him. … I think we played one time before when I was 16. … I beat him and I think I can beat him again. We played before back in LA and I’ll beat him in a 1v1.”
IShowSpeed claims he can outspeed Suns legend Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant is no easy player to beat in 1v1. He’s seen as one of the best legends in basketball. Taking on Bronny James is one thing since he is just starting his career as a rookie.
But beating Durant in a 1v1 is a whole different story because Speed doesn’t have that kind of skill. Still, Speed claimed he could beat the Suns star—if one condition is met.
Recalling their first encounter, the YouTube sensation said, “Listen, I could beat KD if it’s a full-court 1v1 because of my speed. But half court, yeah, he got it. If it’s full court and I’m running, yeah, he won’t [beat me].”
