Drake Channels Tupac’s “Above The Rim” Character During Raptors Historic Win

    After 24 seasons, the Toronto Raptors are headed to their first NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors following a harrowing comeback victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday (May 25). Naturally, Drake managed to create yet another moment during the game — albeit this time much more subtly.

    Though it may have been lost on some of the casual viewers, older Hip Hop heads likely noticed that Drizzy was dressed in the same 100 MILES hoody and black pants combo that sideline antagonist Birdie (played by Tupac Shakur) wore in the film Above The Rim.

    He even donned a black bandana around his neck, later wearing it over his 2019 finals cap following the huge win — completing the look.

    The illusion didn’t totally work though, as his team won — unlike Tupac’s in the film, leading him to order a shooting. Also, Kawhi Leonard and the Raps looked and played more like Kyle Watson (Duane Martin) and the Bombers.

    Anyone interested in getting their hands on the hoody can head over to the 100 MILES online shop.

    The NBA Finals kick-off on Thursday (May 30) in Toronto.

        u are a 40 year old loser who lives in his mommas basement,mommy didnt buy u cheerios?

        1. Wow so emotional. Did you forget to take your Midool for those Bitchstral Cramps. No wonder you’re a Drake Fan

    1. I’m tired of ppl comparing themselves or others to Tupac! First of all there will never be another Tupac and second none of these bitch as lames and fake ass “rappers” don’t even come close to the great 2pac! Compare lyrics, style and accomplishments!!! Tupac4Life #ThugLife

      1. Where in this article is Drake compared to Tupac as an artist in any way? The answer is, you didn’t read the article.

    2. It’s clear the people in the comments didnt read the article and are just talking out of their ass.??‍♂️

    3. 2pac and Aubrey should never be mentioned in the same statement or article. No matter what the content. Ever.

    4. I heard Chris Webber say that stupid shit during the game, and I was just like I’m dead. Dead, lol. He knows better.

      1. Your mother and father, animal.
        God punish u, Ole
        Oya go and compare God to a chicken.
        Tupac is god over chicken drake.

      2. The dude who called Pac a fake thug OBVIOUSLY isnt from Cali. Lol. Stay in YOUR lane bruh. I ACTUALLY worked for 92.3 the Beat radio station in LA. Pac was as real as it gets…

    5. This just shows how much clout 2pac still has to this day. Even the younger generation name drops or understands he was/is someone to be rivaled….pay homage to the ancestors and pioneers y’all

    6. It has nothing to do with comparing Drake to Pac…its about celebrating 100 Miles a TORONTO made fashion brand that is still killin it today…this one maybe way over yall heads

    7. Umm fuck Drake, congrats kawhi n the lil foots. Drake you gotta play the game to be succesful in this league and that whole cheerleading shit aint nothing to flaunt as a grown man lmao.
