Drake is often found on the sidelines during big Toronto Raptors’ games. With LeBron James in town, it was no surprise he was posted on the sideline for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. But what we didn’t expect, was him getting into it with Kendrick Perkins.
Drake got into a shouting match with Kendrick Perkins, which seems like a bad idea
Probably not the best idea!
Here are Drake and Perkins, going back and forth while Jose Calderon tries to (smartly) keep Drake back at the end of the first half.
And it happened again after the Cavaliers stole Game 1 from the Cavs.
Bruce Arthur appeared to have heard some of the second exchange.
After the game, Perkins cleared up his side of the story in regards to how the shouting matches got started.
I know Drake works out and likes to think he’s in fairly good shape, but he does not want that Perkins problem. Perkins in 6’10, and weighs 270 pounds, per Basketball Reference. According to a quick Google search, Drake is 5’11, and weighs 172.
Just based on the size matchup, he really does not want a piece of Big Perk. It doesn’t matter what was said between the two, Drake has a whole lot to lose in that moment. NBA players are some of the best athletes on the planet, and Drake is ... Drake. A good musician, and probably not a great fighter unless he’s been keeping a black belt from us. Which, sure, is totally possible.
Drake should probably not try any player on either bench.
