Fine Line: Drake's Full Toronto Pitch to Kevin Durant
It's not just the Seinfeld cast that hates the Drake.
The NBA announced today they have fined the Toronto Raptors $25,000 for the rapper's recent in-concert grovelling to league MVP, Kevin 'I prefer 8ball n MJG' Durant.
The officially reported brain-cramp of the Raps' global ambassador involved the following statement:
Before we leave, I just want to show one of my brothers something ...You know, my brother Kevin Durant was kind enough to come to the show tonight and watch us. I just want him to see what would happen if he came to play in Toronto. Let him know what would happen. |
The OKC champ then got a massive cheer from the punters, replete with a 'KD' chant for good measure.
While this bone-headed behaviour was thought to be sufficient for the fine, The Daily Player has discovered that Drake's pitch contained a number of other elements worthy of reprimand. Here is a summary:
- We don't want Russell Westbrook
- We made Rudy Gay disappear
- F*ck Brooklyn
- F*ck Team USA
- We'll get Andrew Wiggins from Minnesota for a bag of basketballs in 2017
- We'll soon have an NFL team
- Nobody cares about hockey any more
Fair to say this was the biggest promotional fail for Raptors since their mascot strapped on a pair of skates.
