Rapper Drake talks role as Toronto Raptors unofficial mascot



Lori Ewing  CP
Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey said he often gets asked about Drake.

“I get texts: ‘Do you know Drake? Have you met Drake?’ He sits there every night, he hears me cuss out the referees every night,” Casey said, laughing. “He knows all my cuss words.”

Part rapper, part Raptors mascot, Drake is the basketball team’s global ambassador, and has his own courtside seat at the Air Canada Centre, about an arm’s length away from where Casey paces and hollers at the referees.

The rapper-songwriter hosted his second annual “Drake Night,” on Wednesday at the Air Canada Centre, as the Raptors played Brooklyn for the first time since the Nets ousted Toronto in the first round of last season’s playoffs.

A sell-out crowd of 19,800 fans received keepsake “Drake Night” T-shirts. Drake announced the Raptors’ lineup pre-game before taking his usual courtside seat. He spent some time at the broadcast table doing guest commentary.
