The Toronto Raptors and their fans will be celebrating the franchise's first-ever championship during their parade on Monday, and, naturally, Drake will be front and center as part of the festivities.
The Raptors superfan and global ambassador will have his own float during the parade:

Drake has made plenty of headlines with his sideline antics during Raptors games and general love for the franchise. He was even warned by the NBA for his overzealous behavior while courtside.
Still, this is mostly just harmless fun, and we all know Drake is going to have himself a time at the championship celebration in Toronto. Title parades are a time to let loose and have a good time, so expect Drake to make more headlines on Monday.
The Raptors won their first-ever title by beating the Golden State Warriors in six games. Toronto got outstanding performances from up and down the roster, with Kawhi Leonard leading the way as MVP.
While there are plenty of questions about Leonard's future in Toronto, nobody in the city will be thinking about that Monday as they soak up the celebratory atmosphere. It's going to be one heck of a party up in The Six, and Drake is going to be one heck of a hype man.
