Drake Introduces The Toronto Raptors’ Starting Lineup

Last night (Dec. 18) the Toronto Raptors celebrated 'Drake Night,' a night dedicated to their global ambassador and most famous fan, Drake. Fans that went to the game received a cool limited edition Drake Night tee shirt, and got to see the Raptors defeat the Brooklyn Nets in a 105-89 game.

Drake was all over the place last night, and rightfully so; it was his night after all. He took on the responsibility of the pre-game introduction of the players, and he did so in absolutely hilarious fashion (see above). While introducing each player, he added funny tidbits of information such as saying that Amir Johnson "recently got a tattoo of a Swiffer Wet Jet," and that when Terrence Ross "ain't busy slam dunking, he moonlights as West Coast rapper Kurupt." He did the introductions over an instrumental of "6 God." It was definitely a great way to get the night started. Check out the introduction above.

Drake also did an interview with ESPN play-by-play announcers Mark Jones and Jon Barry, where he talks about how much the Raptors mean to him, Joe Johnson's haircut, how he's "working on some great things for the beginning of [2015]," and even takes on play-by-play responsibilities for a little bit. He also mistakingly called current NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, ousted Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Honest mistake. Check out the interview below.
