In a recent interview, Toronto Raptors center Lucas Nogueira has shared he likes Nickelback but is perplexed that Canadians don't like the band, even though Canadians are known to support famous Canadian personalities.

“One of the bands that I love so much and Canadians, people hate: Nickelback,” Nogueira said, as per CBS Sports. “I don't understand why people – because Canadian people, when you're famous, they support you so much. They love to support famous Canadians. And I don't understand because I grew up thinking Chad Kroeger is amazing, I love him. And when I came to Canada, people are like, ‘You like Nickelback?' And everybody starts laughing in my face.”

What makes this more perplexing is the fact that Drake, another music personality that comes from Canada, is widely supported by the public.

“It's a Drake city,” Nogueira said. “Everywhere you go, it's Drake, Drake, Drake. And I like some Drake songs and Drake is a very nice guy and he's very talented. But you know, he's Canadian, he's so famous, so everywhere you go, they're playing Drake. Actually, I don't know any bar that's like, oh, that bar plays rock.”

Nogueira also reveals that he has Keane, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis and Creed in his top five bands. But he cannot decide what band deserves the final spot.

“Five, you can split. Aerosmith, I like Sublime, Bon Jovi. This is my music style. I don't really listen to hip-hop.”

Lucas Nogueira is just one of the many players who express their love for music. Other players include Indiana Pacers' Victor Oladipo, who sings R&B, and Portland Trailblazers' Damian Lillard, who raps under the name Dame D.O.L.L.A.

Nogueira is known on the court for his ability to protect the rim, as he is averaging 1.1 blocks per game so far in his career, but it seems as though being a Nickelback fan is how he wants people to remind him.
