Canadian rapper Drake trolled Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid when he exited out of Game 5 of the 2019 NBA Eastern Conference Semis on Tuesday night. Drake mocked Embiid by doing the Sixers center's favorite plane flying gesture while the superstar was heading to their bench. Not only that, Raptors fans saw what Drake was doing, and most of them made the hilarious gesture as well to the delight of the entire crowd inside the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

Drake and Raptors fans had every right to poke fun at Embiid after the latter's poor showing in the all-important game. He finished with just 13 points on 5-for-10 shooting on top of just six rebounds in 31 minutes. The 25-year-old center also committed a team-high eight turnovers for Philadelphia.
In turn, the Raptors ran away with a huge 125-89 win to take a 3-2 lead in the series. Kawhi Leonard had another solid game with 21 points and 13 rebounds, while Pascal Siakam posted 25 points and eight boards. Kyle Lowry finished with 19 points, while Danny Green and Marc Gasol added 17 and 11 points, respectively.
Toronto will look to close out the series in Game 6 when they travel to Philadelphia on Thursday. If the series goes the distance, the Raptors will host the 76ers on Saturday in Toronto.
