NBA Reportedly Spoke to Raptors About Drake's 'Activity and Presence' on the Sideline

It's no secret that Drake is a Toronto guy, and everyone knows that the city loves Drizzy right back. But he might actually love his Raptors a bit too much.

A few observers have had problems with Drake's sideline antics, Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer among them. After losing to the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals, Coach Bud made it quite clear that he wasn't a fan of the rapper looking as comfortable as he did up and down the sidelines, saying that there are "boundaries and lines for a reason." And he may have been onto something.

To appease the complaints of Budenholzer and possibly others, the NBA talked with the Raptors about Drake's behavior.

If you've been watching the NBA Playoffs, you probably know exactly what I'm talking about when i say "antics." With the Toronto Raptors on a hot streak through the Eastern Conference Playoffs, Drake has been a sideline regular. But Drake's not a typical celebrity on the sidelines. And because of that, he's been allowed to get away with quite a bit.

He goes all out. He might as well be another coach on the bench, always jumping up to celebrate big plays, ready to get on the refs about bad calls, and never afraid to yell onto the court.

However you want to describe Drake's behavior, whether you like it or not, I don't know what the Raptors can do about it. I don't think the Raptors want to do anything about it. Honestly, I think this little talk was simply the NBA covering its hind parts and indicating they're not entirely asleep at the wheel, was more of a formality with the hope that no more complaints would come in later on.
