TORONTO — Being an NBA All-Star comes with certain perks. In addition to signing endorsement deals and gracing magazine covers, world-class basketball players often meet Drake.
Some even get close to the rapper. Speaking to reporters about 40 minutes before tip-off Wednesday night at Air Canada Centre, Drake called the Warriors’ Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson his friends.
When he chose to have the Raptors’ third-annual “Drake Night” against Golden State, he had more than a win in mind.
