Overview

iShowSpeed At Ballon d'Or refers to memes and discussions about YouTube and Twitch streamer iShowSpeed attending the 2023 Ballon d'Or in Paris France. The Ballon d'Or is an annual ceremony that presents awards to football players. iShowSpeed streamed his time at the Ballon d'Or, recording himself meeting various sportsmen including Novak Djokovic, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Erling Haaland. iShowSpeed's exaggerated and loud personality drew the ire of some internet users embarrassed by his behavior at an honors ceremony, while others found his stream entertaining given that attending sportsmen generally seemed unfazed by Speed's presence.
