Fans react to Drake's stepback jumper

Canadian rapper and music icon Drake is a big fan of the NBA. However, his fans don't give him an easy time when he shares basketball moments on social media.

In a recent video posted on social media, Drake was seen playing a pickup game. The five-time Grammy award-winning rapper showcased his dribbling skills and ended the sequence by hitting a tough stepback jumpshot from the 3-point area.

The move isn't easy as it requires proper balance and accuracy to make the shot. But the hip-hop icon wasn't fazed and even stared at his defender after making the difficult shot. Still, that wasn't enough to impress fans.

The Canadian rapper hasn't been seen at NBA games as of late. However, he could make an appearance during the playoffs.

Drake started gaining popularity in the early 2010s for his music and collaborations with different well-known artists. He also started to be more active in the basketball scene by attending the Toronto Raptors' home games.

For this reason, the Raptors gave him the opportunity to become the organization's global ambassador. He joined their executive committee and even had the team's practice facility named after him. Since then, the team has started to go on an upward trajectory and even had a deep playoff run in 2019, when they won the championship.

He even participated in the team's championship parade.

Due to his accomplishments in his music career and the fame that he has acquired, the team became well-known to younger fans. He even played a huge part in bringing the 2016 All-Star Game to Toronto.
