Canadians and more specifically people from Toronto are clearly no fans of Paul Pierce, especially after what he said about their beloved franchise. Pierce recently said Toronto was a decent team, but they just didn’t have “it”. Now “it” could have been many things, but either way it was not a compliment, and Raptors GM Masai Ujiri responded accordingly, cursing Pierce’s name before the series and being fined for it. Drake is the Raptors “team ambassador” and it seems some people are upset with Drizzy showing Pierce some love.
NBA: Raptors Amir Johnson Compares Paul Pierce’s Trash Talk To Viagra
Paul Pierce has been talking ALOT lately about NBA players and teams. In a recent interview with ESPN, Pierce went in on former Nets teammates Deron Williams & Joe Johnson. He also questioned how bad his fellow Wizards teammates want to be great and he took some shots at the Toronto Raptors, who just so happen to be the Wizards first round playoff opponent. Word got back to the Raptors about what Pierce was saying and Amir Johnson had an unlikely comparison with Pierce & Viagra.

We all know Drake loves basketball and he is more hyped than usual thanks to the Raptors playoff series getting underway today. Last time we saw Drizzy taking a jumper he shot a horrific airball while warming up with Kentucky that promptly made all of us tell him to sit down! Apparently he either had a bad day that night or he has been working on it cause he was dropping buckets like he was born to do it while out in Cali. Complete with a Raptors Vince Carter jersey, Drake has definitely caught the playoff spirit. His jumper looks odd as hell but hey if it goes in it’s all good.

The Toronto Raptors have been climbing the competitive ladder in the NBA, especially in the eastern conference and honestly they look like a total different team than the Raptors of years passed.

Drake was in on the new logo design phase, being the ambassador and all it was only right. Check out the video below and the pictures in the gallery. I like the new design, it looks more sleek and more meaner than before.
