iShowSpeed opens up on his bond with Giannis Antetokounmpo
Speed expressed his opinion on the relationship he shares with the Bucks star on Thursday's episode of Yahoo Sports' "Daily Loud."
"That's my brother. I don't think I have never clicked with an athlete like that before," Speed said. "Me and him have such a good chemistry. I felt like he was just my friend. I didn't even think of him as a basketball player, Giannis Antetokounmpo. I was like that's my guy."
The 2025 Streamer of the Year remembered the time the Bucks star took him to the basketball court, where he dunked for the first time. Later, Speed disclosed that he and Antetokounmpo are still in touch.
"We still text from time to time. He texted me during my Africa tour, so we still check up on each other. I just need to go to one of his games which I promised him."
iShowSpeed completed his 28-day tour of Africa on January 27. He has yet to announce the next country he will visit.
