Drake has instantly become a motivator for the Toronto Raptors, as he has been very animated on the sidelines during the recent games of his favorite team.

During their series against the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals, Drake constantly urged the crowd to make noise for Toronto. He was also seen massaging Raptors coach Nick Nurse. However, while his antics are pumping up the crowd and the energy inside their home arena, Danny Green said there is someone better than the popular rapper.

Green said that Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is a better motivator. The Raptors guard said that Drake's impact while on the sidelines cannot be compared to Draymond's motivation and play for the Warriors on the court.

“No, I don't,” Danny Green said when asked if Drake can be compared to Draymond as motivator, via Steve Popper of Newsday Sports. “Draymond is probably more effective on the floor than Drake on the sidelines.”

Draymond is known as the Warriors' emotional leader, who inspires his teammates through his energetic play on the court. And while he gets his teammates pumped up, he is always a tough opponent to deal with.

Raptors forward Pascal Siakam recently said that Draymond is a special player and a big part of his team's success, and Danny Green certainly sees that too.
