The Raptors became NBA champions for the first time Thursday night, and their global ambassador celebrated like a player.
Drake was watching Game 6 of The Finals in a VIP area of Jurassic Park, the party zone in Toronto where Raptors fans congregated during the playoffs. He, like everyone else in Canada, sweated out the Raps' clinching 114-110 victory over the Warriors.
Everyone was able to exhale after Kawhi Leonard hit two free throws in the final second to ice the win. At that point, the hip-hop superstar channeled his inner baller:
