Hip-hop star Drake has always been on the sidelines of NBA games. As the Toronto Raptors' ambassador, he's almost always present in their games and has even served as a guest announcer several times. For the past All-Star weekends, he's been seen hanging out with NBA stars. Safe to say that Drake, just like the rest of us, is one big NBA fanboy.
Several clips of Drake features him hanging out with the likes of Stephen Curry, as seen in his own Instagram post below:

His devotion to the NBA has affected fans and video gamers alike. Recently, a clip of Drake as an NBA 2k avatar resurfaced. As posted by YouTube content creator shady00018_ in his Instagram account, Drake dominated in the entire NBA in a 2k clip:

Though Drake definitely has the size, it still a mystery if his talents in basketball can match up to that of the talents in the NBA. Yet we're free to fantasize, thus the 2k clip above.
It shows him having the dribbling ability of Kyrie Irving, the dunking prowess of Vince Carter, the silky-smooth euro-step of James Harden and more importantly, the swag of a hip-hop icon named Drake. Now that is some serious talent-stealing that is usually reserved for sci-fi flicks.
Whether watching courtside in Toronto, hanging out with the Warriors, simply tweeting about the game, Drake is definitely a basketball fanboy. Outside of the bank account, fame, and talent, he is just like every one of us NBA fans.
Man I just love the sport! I have friends on different teams. Proud for them today. Stop watching man so closely.
