“Fastest in the league” - Ishowspeed stuns NBA world with record breaking sprint time
Leave it to IShowSpeed to rewrite the rulebook on NBA speed records—who knew that a YouTuber could outpace some of the league's most elite athletes in a sprint? While basketball courts are usually a stage for dunks and crossovers, Speed's jaw-dropping 2.80-second 3/4 court sprint has everyone wondering if the fastest man in the NBA world just might be a content creator rather than a traditional prospect. It's a stunning reminder that raw speed can come from the most unexpected places and shakes up the typical narrative around athletic supremacy in professional basketball.
IShowSpeed, the 20-year-old internet sensation, impressed the basketball community by completing the NBA combine's three-quarter court sprint drill in a record 2.80 seconds during a workout with Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant. This sprint time, if officially recognized, would eclipse all previous records set by top NBA prospects and highlight the growing trend of athletes and influencers crossing worlds. The feat gains extra weight considering many marquee draft prospects often skip the combine’s physical drills, making Speed's sprint a remarkable and widely discussed milestone in the league’s athletic testing history.
