Philadelphia 76ers fan and superstar comedian Kevin Hart is blaming Toronto Raptors ambassador and rapper Drake for the Sixers' second round loss to the Raptors.
Hart says because Drake wore Sixers shorts, Philly lost to the Raptors. Toronto star small forward Kawhi Leonard hit an epic game-winning buzzer beater in Game 7 to send Philly home. Hart, though, is blaming Drake instead of Leonard.
The Drake curse may or may not be real. The rapper was at Games 3 and 4 of the Raptors' Eastern Conference Finals series against the Milwaukee Bucks and the Raptors won both games.
However, Hart isn't going to let Drake get away with wearing Sixers shorts. After trading for Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris, Philadelphia was poised to come out of the East and challenge the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.
Instead, the Sixers are already home and facing a big summer, with Harris, Butler and J.J. Redick set to become unrestricted free agents. It's going to take max money for the Philly to keep both Harris and Butler. The two forwards are expected to make the rounds this offseason and meet with other teams as well.
If Harris and/or Butler leaves, we'll see if Hart blames Drake for that, too.
