I’m sure they don’t have a problem with his sideline antics.
He prolly brought a whole bunch of emo ass fans own board too.
I’m more of a fan now that I see how much people hate it. Dude can’t enjoy courtside seats? Wtf

He's a Raptors fan, last thing he should be doing is getting in the way of HIS team focusing and trying to win. So it's potentially detrimental to his own cause at best, even if in that particular instance the coach didn't even notice lol.
But again - I'm team Drake here. Just saying that would be the only thing he's done that I can *kinda* understand folks being a little apprehensive about.

I’ve always heard good things about Toronto and if t wasn’t so cold it could be an option.
Just wondering if the diversity angle they paint is no different than taking photos of Charlotte NYC or Atlanta during a festival.

37. "Yeah, it doesn't actually make Toronto look that great" In response to Reply # 19 Fri May-31-19 08:43 AM by Marauder21
I mean his success story starts with him being unable to get a job in his chosen field that he studied for because he's brown and an immigrant. He wanted to be an engineer. Even Milwaukee (the hyper-segregated American city he uses to prop up Toronto) has South Asians who were able to find work in engineering.
Also, people of various races and backgrounds celebrating sports together isn't special to Toronto, that happens all over. I'm pretty sure you would see the same thing at any of the championship parades in Oakland, Miami, Detroit, wherever. Doesn't mean those places don't also have problems, but "coming together to celebrate our championship team" is a pretty low bar to clear.
Don't get me wrong, this guy is a cool story, but it doesn't exactly make Toronto look like the utopia he thinks it does.

and I definitely dig seeing a whole bunch of colorful people chilling but don’t sell me on some bullshit.
Folks cheer the winning team then go home and vote for people like Rob Ford and Trump.
But it prolly makes these same folks who denied him the chance to be an engineer feel better about themselves
Hell, I am knocking this story.

27. "Oh man wait - I totally forgot Dell played for the Raptors." In response to Reply # 25
Earlier I was talking about how corny that was, thinking he was playing both sides of the fence. Which would be such a #drake move. But I underestimated him. A+ trolling you're right.
Imagine yourself, an avid sports jersey collector, sitting at home and seeing one of your most cherished pieces of that collection on the sidelines at the NBA Finals.
That’s what Game One was like for Ben Weil, a 34-year-old basketball and Dell Curry fan from Queens, New York. Weil’s prized retro #30 Dell Curry Raptors jersey stole the show when celebrity superfan Drake showed up wearing it at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on Thursday Night.
Weil purchased the signed 2001 purple road jersey about six years ago when former Raptor Michael Stewart was unloading some of his personal collection.
He was contacted by a friend Monday on behalf of a Brooklyn-based vintage shop. The friend knew of the large collection and had recalled seeing a Curry Raptors jersey on a past Instagram post of his. He needed a Raptors’ Curry jersey immediately.
“He asks me how much I want to sell it for but I did not want to sell it. I was very clear that I did not want to sell it”, Weil told SportsLogos.Net. “He kept pushing so I knew it must have been for a special reason. We talked about it for a while and I agreed. He assured me it wasn’t for himself but he couldn’t reveal any more details”
Weil wasn’t told the jersey was for Drake but he had a feeling that’s where it was headed; collected by his friend Tuesday and quickly driven up to Toronto from New York City to get there in time for Game One.
“Who else needed this jersey so badly? I figured it was someone in the spotlight that wanted to troll the Warriors. It made perfect sense.”
Knowing it had the potential to be seen by the entire basketball world is what finally pushed Weil over the edge to part with his jersey.
“I understood it would be a big deal and there would be a huge spotlight on it and it would make for a great story, so that allowed me to make my peace with letting it go. As a collector, I had no interest in ever letting it go.”
Without naming the price he got for it, Weil did say it was enough to cover the cost of replacing the jersey — he pointed to another Curry jersey, one from his days with the Charlotte Hornets, was still in his collection “softening the blow” of losing his Raptors one.
Weil never had a chance to talk to Drake about the jersey but had a message for him.
“Drake, if you ever want to sell it back, I’ll be ready with open arms and a wad of cash!”
Unfortunately for Weil, after the Raptors win over the Warriors in Game One, we’re not sure Drake will be parting with his new jersey anytime soon.

I’m fascinated by niche markets and vintage collectors when they have stories like this.
People are crazy as hell when it comes to sports.
I would never think a Curry Raptors Jersey would be so coveted years later.

I love the mad making for some reason. Seems odd for any player or franchise in the NBA to get mad at his hand clapping and cheerleading.

Definitely. And an attention whore. And that dude in high school who loudly hung out with the athletes and said shit like "WE played a good game"...
Don't get me wrong, I don't really care about the court-side stuff and I'm pulling for the Raptors...but dude legit got tats of Curry and KD? Huh?? LOL
I refuse to google it, but I'm sure he has a Bron tat as well- at the very least. Nothing about this guy is sincere.
I'm just trying to imagine a grown ass man pulling up to a stop sign bumping Drake in the whip and shit. I know they are out there, but I don't get it.
