I got no problem with this. Good. The NBA is on top of it and is monitoring it closely. And big, loud celebrity fans don't just belong in NY and LA. Good for Toronto.

I agree

I wish this animosity existed between players

Nowadays they seem to all be buddies and go on summer vacation together

the problem is Drake is affiliated with the team.  He isn't just some loud mouth fan like Spike Lee, Jack Nicholson, Billy Crystal, Mark Wahlberg, etc.  He is actually paid by the team to do work for the team.

He needs a backhand.

Dancing on the court, rubbing coaches shoulders, getting into it with opposing players.

If he was just a casual fan he would have been banned a long time ago now.

Do. Not. Care. I understand the distinction* but I don't care.


*...although if you're seeing Spike Lee et al excepting Mark Wahlberg (who is a Sunny Day fan at best) as 'just loudmouth fans' I think you're not seeing the depth of their relationship with the team.

Drake's a tool.

....but do you appreciate Toronto having a celeb courtside antagonist fan?

He's just a tool creating a "look at me" sideshow.    He just does absolutely zero for me.

Ah, more of a Meek Mill fan huh?

[Monkhouse]

I don't get why anyone is bothered by this...?

Indie rock fan.

I get that Drake is a superfan...he has been doing this to TOR opponents for the last few years..

Now? He is in prime form....what is common for the Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, other teams...is now a NEW thing for that city.

Good for them AND basketball.

If I were Draymond I'd do my BEST to ignore Drake - especially after a 2-9 shooting performance.



Drake's going to target him since he knows he's an emotional player.

He DID have a triple double but if he had hit HALF of his shots GSW would've been closer or won.....

[celticinorlando]

Drake is nothing more than a kid from the 'burbs who tries to act tough. He is the Nickelback of the sad state of rap these days.

He is a flea market clown.

[RPGenerate]

Drake is a clown, and nobody should be allowed that close to players and coaches. You're just asking for a catastrophe.
