Drake, the ultimate bandwagon fan, has just one team he has always been in love with—the Toronto Raptors. He’s a mainstay courtside and his social media presence about the team is well known.
So it should come as no surprise that Drake had to rub a little salt in the wound of the Pacers after his Raptors went all franchise-record-comeback on them. He went straight to Instagram to roast Pacers forward Paul George, only to delete the post shortly after its posting.
A hotheaded response from Drake? It wasn’t like there was a pattern of him being heavily in to this game or anything…
There was the unrelenting taunting of Rodney Stuckey late in the 102-99 victory, with Stuckey doing the smart thing and not even reacting.
Drake never chills on the sideline 😂😂😂 https://t.co/1YdI2BmtgY

There were also these crazy sideline moments…

As for the taunting of George in his initial Instagram post, hopefully Drake realized it was not the smartest move to poke the bear that nearly took them down in game five. That’s because George scored 36 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished eight assists on just 19 shots.
Not exactly the stuff of a player choking or slacking off in a playoff game.
Then again, when has any of that really mattered to Drake when it comes to his first sports love, the Raptors?
