Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green and rapper and Toronto Raptors ambassador Drake met at a Toronto restaurant on Friday.
Green and Drake were talking smack to one another after Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday. After the Raptors won, Drake called Green “trash.”
However, Green and Drake are friends and just having fun with one another in this series. The Warriors will look to shut Drake up in Game 2 on Sunday by winning in Toronto to even up the series at 1-1.

The Cactus Club Cafe's downtown location sits just 1 kilometer from Scotiabank Arena, and features three levels of dining, paintings by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol, and a popular patio rooftop deck.
It was there that Warriors forward Draymond Green, teammate Alfonzo McKinnie and an extended party stepped into a private room adjacent to that rooftop deck Friday night with a special guest: Rapper and Raptors superfan Drake.
“We was talking s–t,” Green told NBC Sports Bay Area on Saturday. “And we live in a day and age where people — we live in a soft-ass world to where everything is a problem, and everything is a major issue. That’s the world we live in today, and so when someone sees people talking s–t to each other, it’s like, ‘Oh my God, they hate each other,' but it's the typical overreaction into everything that's overreacted to in today's day and age.”
It's clear Green and Drake are just two friends talking trash in a competitive NBA Finals series. It's what makes sports fun.
Green and the Warriors are down 0-1 in the Finals for the first time in the Steve Kerr era. You can expect the Dubs to play much better in Game 2, though, as the Warriors respond to losses very well.
