The Toronto Raptors are set to host the NBA Finals on Thursday night against the Golden State Warriors. It’s a historic evening as it’s the first time the Finals have been played or hosted in Canada.
There was no doubt that Raptors ambassador and superfan Drake was going to show up with some sartorial flare. Before Game 1 tipped off, his decision could be seen courtside. To be honest? It was sort of perfect.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver acknowledges that Drake isn’t the same as the regular fan but touching a coach during a game can’t happen. “There are appropriate lines that shouldn’t be crossed,” Silver said.

Yes, that is Dell Curry’s Toronto Raptors jersey. Of course, Dell’s son Stephen Curry is set to try and beat the Raptors in Game 1.
Drake may be corny, but at least he’s plotting. Plus, wearing Vince Carter’s old shoes is pretty cool.
