Toronto Raptors Global Ambassador and known multi-platinum rapper Drake made his mark in the fall of the Houston Rockets on Friday night, once again taking part on some light chatter with inbounder Trevor Ariza, who was soon tormented by a hawking defense with 5.4 seconds left in the game. Drake is seen taunting Ariza as […]

Drake and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown may not have much in common, but there is at least one thing. They are both compassionate, charitable guys. After hearing about what life was like for a housekeeper working at the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, they decided to something that would put a smile on her […]

In the last few days, there has been a lot made of rapper Drake apparently donning some tattoos that feature the numbers and nicknames of both Golden State Warriors All-Stars Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry. Following Saturday’s thrilling win over the Toronto Raptors, Curry took the approach of avoiding any more involvement in the strange […]

Last night, the Golden State Warriors were able to close out a tight game against the Toronto Raptors, beating them 127-125.

The fans were very involved in the game, and Canadian rapper Drake […]

It’s no secret that Drake is the biggest – if not one of the biggest – bandwagon sports fan in history. He just does not have the concept of being loyal to one team. Drake has cheered or donned jerseys for/of the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team, the Texas A&M football program, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the […]

The Toronto Raptors have now won back-to-back games after drubbing the visiting Charlotte Hornets at Air Canada Centre Wednesday night, 126-113.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics may be the favorites to make it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals this year, but for Drake, he believes another team could reach that far and knock off one of the two aforementioned teams. The rapper and record producer recently predicted that the Toronto Raptors will […]

LeBron James has one year left on his current deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which means it’s high time to suspect that the four-time MVP would leave The Land. After all, he’s done that before and he’s already delivered on his promise to quench the city’s thirst for an NBA title last year. Among the […]

The motto in Toronto these days seems to be “Bring back Vince Carter”.

Drake […]

It’s no secret that rapper and producer Drake is an avid NBA fan. He has been watching games live over the past years, and even hosted this year’s inaugural NBA Awards Show.

It’s good to be a Toronto Raptors fan nowadays. The team has four-consecutive playoff appearances to date and has an exciting roster core heading into the 2017-18 season consisting of a pair of three-time All-Stars in forward DeMar DeRozan and recently re-signed point guard Kyle Lowry, as well as three-time NBA All-Defensive First Team member, Serge Ibaka. And […]

The championship celebration is ongoing for Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha, who hit up the Delilah nightclub in Los Angeles the same night as the Golden State Warriors‘ championship parade, per TMZ Sports.

Despite cruising toward their league-high 14th straight win against a depleted New Orleans Pelicans team, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green would have no mercy on his fellow teammates — not when it comes to clothes at least. Rapper Drake wasn’t safe of any roasting either, taking some shots on his fashion sense because of his pants […]

Grammy-nominated rapper Drake showed up at the Toronto Raptors‘ “Drake Night” with an eye-catching black long-sleeved shirt with ESPN/ABC sideline reporter Doris Burke‘s face emblazoned on it.

It’s the third annual “Drake Night” tonight at the Air Canada Center. So obviously, Drake is sitting courtside for the Raptors–Warriors game. As is usual, Drake has been pretty animated for most of the night, even getting in Kevin Durant’s face after DeMar DeRozan knocked down a jumper in the first half. https://vine.co/v/5T1OYjVLMMh KD was […]

The NBA season is right around the corner, and that means Toronto Raptors ambassador Drake‘s presence is back on the NBA scene too.

According to the Heat’s Twitter account, Drake had called glass in his first attempt and […]

The never-ending marriage of rap and basketball is still true to this day. Historically, the two have gone hand-in-hand, but hardly ever has there been someone excelling at both (maybe with the exception of Damian Lillard). As Rick Ross once said: “rappers wanna be ballers and ballers wanna be rappers.” That’s been mostly the case […]

Amir Johnson has played in the NBA for eleven years, and for six of those seasons he played for the Toronto Raptors. In that time, Johnson averaged 8.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game, and is still missed by the fans in Toronto. Now it seems the fans aren’t the only one who misses […]

It’s not everyday that you get a chance to hear your name called out in front of everyone by Drake. That’s exactly what happened to one New York Knicks player this week. Drake took to the stage on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden for his Summer Sixteen Tour and couldn’t help but to give a […]

Drake is the official NBA team ambassador for the Toronto Raptors. With such a position with a professional team, you would expect to see that player fully represent that team to the best of his ability. For Drake though, he seems to be more of a super sports fan, or a huge bandwagon fan depending […]

It would seem Drake has chosen his new favorite team for the NBA Finals. After his Toronto Raptors were ousted from the Eastern Conference Finals by the Cleveland Cavaliers, hip-hop artist Drake has allegiance to a new squad.

The Toronto Raptors did what some thought was impossible by winning Games 3 and 4 of the Eastern Conference against the Cleveland Cavaliers to tie the series at 2 games apiece.

In Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Toronto Raptors were able to hold off the Cleveland Cavaliers to tie the series at 2-2.

By now you likely now how big a fan Drake is of the Toronto Raptors.

The Toronto Raptors went on a furious run in the 4th quarter of Tuesday night’s Game 5 vs. the Indiana Pacers to come back after being down 13 points to win.

It’s safe to say Drake may be the biggest Toronto Raptors fan in the world. He is a staple at every Raptors home game and currently serves as the global ambassador for the franchise. The rapper loves his team so much that he’s willing to yell at an opposing team’s multiple-time All-Star after a missed […]

Here we go again. When the Pacers lost to the Toronto Raptors in Game 3, Drake took to Instagram to troll Indiana.

That shot would’ve taken the game into overtime, but instead came after the […]

Sports cartoonist and Uproxx Sports writer David Rappoccio is back at it with his mashup logos.

And what happened there was pure Drake magic. The new single from Drake, “Hotline Bling”, started playing in the stadium. All eyes turned […]
