ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith loves what rapper and Toronto Raptors ambassador Drake is doing on the sidelines and says the Milwaukee Bucks should stop complaining about it.
Drake has been trash talking Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and roaming the sidelines. He even rubbed the shoulders of Raptors head coach Nick Nurse in Game 4. Nurse, for the record, said he has no problem with it.
I have NO problem with what @Drake has been doing. In fact, I love it. 😀 pic.twitter.com/U3KGXzDivq

The Bucks lost Games 3 and 4 up in Toronto. Drake is essentially part of the Raptors. From a Bucks perspective, sure, it must be annoying to see Drake on the sideline yelling at Giannis and running up and down the sideline. However, as Smith says, Milwaukee should have played better in Games 3 and 4 so Drake didn't have anything to celebrate about.
Game 5 of this Eastern Conference Finals series is on Thursday in Milwaukee. The Raptors will look to steal home court by winning Game 5 on the road. Drake won't be at Game 5 and the Bucks will be back home, so they'll be more comfortable.
Drake, though, will be at Game 6 to cheer on his Raptors. The Bucks need to just ignore him and play the game. The rapper is basically the new Spike Lee, the director and superfan of the New York Knicks.
