How Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) balances a massive YouTube following and a pro ultimate frisbee career 

Nice of Marques to let these smaller channels grow through his channel

I really feel proud of you MKBHD ♥️

I don't watch much of his tech channel anymore. But being at the top of one's game in two disciplines is quite amazing. I have increased respect for him.

I would like to bet that Marques never thought he would be interviewed by ESPN. This is just pure awesome when you see one of your favourite RU-vidrs getting recognized for one of his other passions. Just awesome. Congrats on this, Marques! I'm very happy for you!

He’s the coolest representative for the sport there is. Any time anyone asked what ultimate frisbee is or how it’s played I show them marques’s highlights. It validates the sport for me when people say it’s not a real sport or it doesn’t take athleticism.

Marques has been the face of RU-vid in my mind for years. He's almost the only consistent face I associate with the platform.

Seeing where he started to see where he is now is incredibly inspiring and I’m pretty much the same age as him.

ESPN finally giving us the content we needed 🔥

That moment you realize MKBHD has more subscribers than ESPN. That shows you the strength of his brand.

Glad to see this chap get the love he deserves!

Always good to see Marques getting his flowers. He’s really broken a lot of barriers and it’s inspirational

Look at MKBHD man, so inspirational.

Dude is a legend and living the life Guy makes being a nerd so cool

Marques is by far my biggest role model. As a black 18 yr old who works in retail selling phones as well as playing ultimate; everything he does just resonates so strongly with me. It just motivates me so much seeing someone who looks so much like me achieving everything I want to achieve

It’s impossible to not admire him, he puts a lot of heart into whatever he does. ❤️

As a youth ultimate player, getting to see someone that influential playing a sport I’ve grown up playing was awesome, and he was really nice when I met him at a game

Successful Black Man love His Work 👊🏿.

Didnt even know Marques was a Frisbee player...... Thats 🅿

MKBHD x ESPN? never thought I'd see this

What a legend. Stumbled across his channel when I was looking at phone reviews...had no idea he was also doing this. We all have the same 24 hours.

ESPN 8.17M subs vs. MKBHD 15.2M. Now that's what "putting in the work" really looks like!

I love Marqueses humble attitude. You can‘t Not like him

MKBHD is my favorite tech RU-vidr -- and it seems he's the ultimate stereotype buster as well...a Tech Expert who's also a jock, and an athlete at the highest level.

This was pretty dope. Honestly knew about him from ultimate before I even knew about his channel. I love that he’s still actively committed to, and promotes our sport it despite all the fame and money he has from youtube.

That’s pretty dope. Cool to see him out there putting the sport on the map and just staying active. Being a RU-vidr I’m sure demands a lot of his time.

So cool to see ESPN highlighting MKBHD. So happy for you Marques. Been following you since you were a kid and it's just insane to see what all you've done.

It's just a beautiful thing when someone that is decent, and starts from nothing eventually succeeds. You can just witness how MKBHD enjoys what he is doing. I've never met him, probably never will, I'm an older generation guy, but I just love seeing someone succeed in life.

Awesome MKBHD! Been following your tech reviews for years now and its great seeing how you've grown and been recognized in the media industry now sport!

This is probably the only sports related video I actually wanted to watch, now I want to learn frisbee as it looks genuinely fun to play like that. WOW, thanks for making this!

No one deserves the shine more than MKBHD. Love this guy so much. 🙏🏾

It's crazy seeing Marques from back in the day doing tech videos to having celeb interviews and now being featured on ESPN. Congrats to him on the hard work.

0:25 that jump 🔥

I didn't know this about him. Wow, these guys didn't know that they had a RU-vid influencer, who is also a millionaire, in such a unique sport, is truly amazing

Marques has come a long way and to just see him were he is at now is absolutely amazing😀

He is smart intelligent educated brother i love the way he talks all young boys and men should look up to him he should run for president i would vote for him love him 🤙

Love this dude , to see where he started to where is now is craaazy!

That was so unexpected wow lol, glad that he made it this far!

Marques wasn't just the RU-vidr that introduced me to RU-vid and more so Tech RU-vid, he isn't just my favorite RU-vidr of all time BUT he's an idol of mine in life, PERIOD. His hard work and dedication to be his best self every day of the week no matter what he's doing. His love for making videos about tech and his passion about creating the best video he can, give me motivation to be my best self every day & to go to the fullest with whatever it is that I'm doing. Big love & respect for Marques.

When you realize MKBHD can put ESPN to shame with his quality videos, this was more like MKBSD

He's the reason why I started Ultimate at 21 yo after 5 years without any sport activity. Never made a better choice in my life

Good to learn another side of Marques's life. I am in a little Olympic fever now after watching Nathan won the gold. As an older person, I am so proud we have many multi-talented young people. It is also super fun to watch videos when they were little. Marques is actually more a pioneer in this new internet based media age, which it both easier and harder. I hope Marques continue to try new things and he has so much possibilities ahead of him.

Yet another reason to love this man. A class act to be sure

Such a great piece, well done. He’s an inspiring guy.

Oh wow, I knew him as a tech expert, had no idea he was also an athlete! Go MKBHD!

Great example and awesome dude. He deserves all of the success he's attained.

Awesome to see Marques on here! Keep up the great work.

Marques, may you keep up your spirit! A heartfelt thank you for your unrequested ambassadorship for a sport lighting up the world!

Marques is a great role model. Everybody should do sports on the side. It keeps you in shape

Class act all around. Glad to be a subscriber!!

Thanks for this. MKBHD is an inspiration and pioneer in content creation. Great to see that other passion he's always talking about covered by ESPN.

One of the most likeable people on the internet. Always presents things in a clean and factual way with minimal bias. He just seems like an overall great dude.

he has a fantastic channel and even better videography master! He is one of my idols when it comes to creation, he has a gift.

Awesome content! I've watched MKBHD videos for over years! Keep it up!

Loved him since 2011-2012 He just kept being more amazing

This ESPN channel might really take off if they keep landing big interviews like this one with MKBHD

Never knew this about the guy and have watched a few of his videos. Great work in all honesty

Man I remember watching his videos almost a decade ago. Crazy, I feel old...

Good for him. He seems like a genuinely nice young guy. Very grounded and respectful. He's pretty much the face of techie youtube.

Love to see young pioneers killing it out there!

Look at Marques man. So Inspirational!

Many people hate him for his biased contents but he is an inspiration for all those budding youtubers out there. This guy at this age has done something plenty of others couldn't do even though being his seniors, and that's a success.

AMAZING!!! Love ultimate and MKBHD! Plus, Eileen is in this too? This is all so fantastic!!! 🤗

Marques is so genuine. The world needs millions more of people like him.

Passionate , passion and dedication . Keep going M. 😀

One of the first tech RU-vidrs i started following back in the days of the beginning of RU-vid 😊

I didn't think he could talk 😄great story from the coach. It's funny because he does look like a shy guy. And maybe he is, but I know that the things you love will bring you to life.

He has a such cool and unique lifestyle, and yet he's so down to Earth. God bless Marques.

crazy to think I played against him in HS - so happy to see all of his success!

This man is the Kawhi Leonard of ultimate and the Lebron James of Tech RU-vid. What a legend.

Dedication to do what you love is the ultimate satisfaction!!!!! In a society full of distractions

Love this dude. I'll admit I don't watch too much tech like I use too but if I do find something new on the market, I look for his channel

I’m so glad he made it, I’ve been a RU-vid subscriber since he made videos in his bedroom, it’s pretty insane that he has a full studio now.

This guy is a proper pioneer

He changed tech on RU-vid. What a guy. Great video and love mkbhd

0:55 MKBSD right there

ESPN needs more videos like this

I have nothing but respect for this guy

Keeps his body and mind strong and fresh for the videos 🔥 The perfect synthesis

i played Ultimate at a (relatively) high level in middle and high school and can honestly say its the only sport where iv lost and still enjoyed myself. I totally get why it must feel so important for him to keep playing and why such a draw for him is the passion held in the community. What a dope dude.

Congratulations Marques! Love what your doing 🙏😇🙏

Outstanding! He’s truly outstanding and remarkable! 🔥💯🔥

i dont know how i never saw this before, fire video

Loved this

I'm from Malaysia and I used to play this sport so much in secondary school. The only difference was we had to play on a concrete floor because the rugby team was hogging the fields all day 24/7. Interesting how an "unpopular" sport traversed all the way to the other side of the globe. I'm also glad the sport has an unofficial ambassador through Mr. Brownlee, a youtube creator whom I regularly watch and is very popular on the platform! I hope ultimate frisbee get a lot more popular, have a lot more people playing it and someday even see this sport reach its height and see it on the Olympics!

So proud of Marques

MKB is an impressive young man! Props to him and his self-made successes.

this was a great vid shout out to the host and editors

Proud of this dude!

Happy to know him more.

This man is legend ❤️

Humble af. LOVE THAT!

Marques Keith Brownlee is a legend. He won creator of the decade award. Best RU-vid tech channel ever. And a pro sports ambassador. Beast.

That's crazy I've been watching him since what 2010 or 11, on and off, I had no idea.. this just make me more of a fan...

Nice! You deserve recognition.

This man is just impressive. There is so much he does perfectly right und succeeds

MKBHD is incredible...love that guy!

Wow what a moment to be featured on ESPN

Truly an Inspiration 🔥🔥🔥

Great episode

Super Cool...Keep up the great work MKBHD
