With the Raptors reaching the Finals for the first time in franchise history, there’s a lot of excitement in Toronto right now. We’ve definitely seen that with Drake, who has only gotten more and more fired up as the playoff run has gotten longer.
Is it a bit much? The NBA might think so. ESPN’s Michele Steele reports that the league spoke with the Raptors about Drake’s behaviour on the sideline during the Eastern Conference Finals against Milwaukee.
Apparently, a Warriors player agrees, thinking that he’s getting a little too hands-on with the literal shoulder rubs.
Here's another report from TSN contributor Bruce Arthur on the conversation.
We suppose there has to be a line drawn somewhere, and the league and the players are probably good authorities to trust on where that line is. At the same time, how much of an issue is it really? It doesn’t seem to bother Nick Nurse or the Raptors much.
Nurse literally didn’t even notice Drake’s shoulder rub!
