Kristopher London: How a Career-Ending Injury Created a YouTube Legend | DSH #1577

I didn't want it that bad.

And that's kind of where I found myself with this YouTube.

Digital Social Hour

I was like, okay, I really wanted to make content just to make people laugh, make people realize I'm more than just a basketball player.

So I set out to be making skits online,

Literally just sitting down.

I didn't want people to know who I was offline and being a tall guy.

Because then they would just assume and then ask all this basketball shit, which was very emotional for me at the time.

So I built up an audience through that.

And once I hit 100K, that's when I was like, okay, I'll start to tell people who I am, what I did do and what I did.

Digital Social Hour

still striving to do and that's when I went to college in Newman and I was kind of like showing people like oh I play but also I can make funny videos too and then I got introduced to the 2k community and that's where the shit kind of changed my life yeah forever because it was like

They saw me play 2K, and they didn't realize I actually hooped.

But then I thought, okay, what if I took my skits and merged it with how I make 2K videos?

And then that's where I met Jesser and Cash Nasty, and we kind of came up with these concepts of playing 1v1s in real life rather than wagers.

In the FIFA community, we were inspired by the Sidemen, KSI.

Kristopher London: How a Career-Ending Injury Created a YouTube Legend | DSH #1577

I know Jesse, he would show me the KSI FIFA edits and things, and I was like, we'd always talk about how we could do that within the 2K videos, because that hasn't been done yet.

And then I just strived to be a pillar in the basketball community from that point.

And long story short, we all just moved in together eventually after a few years of doing that.

Digital Social Hour

And then that's how it all started with like 2Hype and just IRL basketball content where it is today.

Digital Social Hour
Kristopher London: How a Career-Ending Injury Created a YouTube Legend | DSH #1577

I feel like that's kind of where it started.
