Drake is the Raptors best cheerleader.

Drake is one of the biggest artists in the world and if there is one thing for certain when it comes to the Canadian rapper, it's that he has no shame when it comes to his love of the Toronto Raptors. During the playoffs, Drake can be seen hunkered down at his courtside seat, cheering on the team with about as much passion as any other fan in the crowd. Sometimes, the rapper will tend to go a bit overboard and chirp the opposing players from the sideline. During Sunday night's Raptors win in Game 3, that's exactly what he did with Giannis Antetokounmpo being his unlucky target.

In the second overtime, Giannis fouled out of the game which gave the Raptors a prime opportunity to win. Eventually, the team took full advantage as they came away victorious by a score of 118-112. When Giannis left the game, Drake waved goodbye to the Bucks superstar in a moment of pure pettiness.

As Antetokounmpo made his way to the bench, you can see Drake yelling "Bye" as the crowd erupts into a massive cheer. It's just another instance of the rapper loving his hometown team so we can't really blame him for this.

Perhaps we will see these antics again on Tuesday night when both teams take the court in Toronto for Game 4.
