There have already been some big moves in NBA free agency this summer, but the biggest decision is still to come.
2019 NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard hasn’t decided yet — at least publicly — whether he’ll leave the Toronto Raptors after one season or return to the reigning champions. The team is doing everything they can to bring him back and reportedly are getting some additional help from none other than Toronto’s own Drake.
According to The New York Times’ Marc Stein, Drizzy — a noted fan and team ambassador for the Raptors — is leading his own recruiting campaign to bring Leonard back to Toronto.
“The Raptors haven’t backed off one centimeter and Drake is said to be mounting his own recruiting campaign on top of whatever the freshly minted champions are doing to convince him to stay,” Stein reported.
During the 2019 NBA Playoffs, Drake became a fixture in discussions about the Raptors due to his sideline antics. His vociferous support of his hometown team turned him into a frequent topic of conversation on sports talks shows and even during the broadcasts of playoff games.
While Drizzy may be doing his best to facilitate Leonard’s return to Toronto, the NBA star’s own hometown teams are vying for his services too. Leonard, a Los Angeles native, is being courted by both the Lakers and Clippers.

The new way to say “sucking dick” is “working magic.”
What the COAT is really saying to Kawhi: “Nooo, don’t leave. I won’t- I mean, we won’t win another championship without you. Do this for me, I mean, for my city. Stay with us, pleeeease!” With sad puppy eyes and “Marvin’s Room” playing in the background.
You stay you have a championship make it a grandslam
ffs.
10 years ago Drake was the laughing stock of hiphop . He sang and he rapped. Hiphop purists laughed at the prospect that a Canadian soft teen actor singing about missing exes could become the future of hiphop. Now he owns the game and most rappers sing-rap. 6 years ago, The Raptors were laughing stock of the league when Drake became their official amabassador. The Raptors grew better and better becoming playoff regulars yet haters again laughed at the courtside jester calling him an idiot and a curse. 2019 The Raptors got the NBA championship. Against all odds and popular opinions, Drake is relentless and keeps winning when the odds are stacked against him. So yeah, he has a shot with convincing Kawhi despite what naive critics think
No
Drake is not hip hop, dude. Drake doesn’t write his own songs and his singing is computer generated. Yeah, this guy is super talented. Drake is an embarrassment to real music.
now he should definitely leave
Who the fuck cares? Why don’t you write an article on Big Tone’s new album instead of this mainsteram non-hiphop bullshit.
They beat an under manned team. Full strength Warriors would have destroyed Toronto.
coulda woulda shouldaaaaa
Stay in your lane. Drake knows nothing about putting a NBA team together or keeping them together. He only knows how to get free courtside season tickets and act a fool during the playoffs/finals
