Drake plays the role of fanatical fan as he cheers on his hometown Toronto Raptors during the franchise’s first-ever NBA Finals

He’s a superstar rapper, singer and entrepreneur who was born and raised in Toronto, Canada.

And on Saturday, Drake played the role of fanatical-fan when he attended the clinching Eastern Conference Finals game that sent his beloved Toronto Raptors to the franchise’s first-ever NBA championship finals.

The high-drama and ever-changing ebbs-and-flows of the game against the Milwaukee Bucks sent Drake into a frenzy of emotions as he cheered from the front row of the Scotiabank Arena.

And it all culminated with a number screams and fist-pumps en route to his home team’s 100-94 come-from-behind victory.

At first a game six win didn’t appear to be in the cards for Drake and his Raptors.

The team fell behind by 13 points in the first quarter, to the dismay of the superstar musician.

With ever miss, and clutch shot, he wore his emotions on his sleeve, as well as on the sidelines of the court.

But Toronto’s superstar player, Kawhi Leonard, led the charge back to get his team to pull within five points heading into the fourth and final quarter.

At one point in the final frame, they would score 26 of 29 points and never look back.

With Drake jumping up and down, the Raptors held off the rallying Bucks and clinched the series with their 6-point win.
