Grammy-nominated rapper Drake showed up at the Toronto Raptors‘ “Drake Night” with an eye-catching black long-sleeved shirt with ESPN/ABC sideline reporter Doris Burke‘s face emblazoned on it.

The shirt had a filtered version of the charismatic reporter's face along with the words “woman crush everyday” underneath it, a nifty little play-on from the time she said in an interview with New York's Magazine The Cut that Drake had made a heart shape with his hands and pointed at her during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Sometimes all it takes is to make a good impression.

“I'm just a big Doris Burke fan,” the rapper told reporters, according to Anthony Slater from the San Jose Mercury News. “I just thought tonight would be the night to just, you know, let her know how much she's appreciated over here.”

While Burke wasn't present at the game, the news didn't take long to reach her and she tweeted her thanks accordingly.

Worth the trouble, if you ask me.
