Rapper Drake is a big fan of the Toronto Raptors, the team which LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers beat during the Eastern Conference finals series. After trolling James and the rest of the Cavs team, a video showed the rapper trying to be friendly with the Cavs star player.
Bet said Drake was caught on camera being "extra friendly" with James that he appeared to have smooched him on the cheek. The video snap became viral and trending worldwide with netizens throwing various meanings to the act.
Twitter user Bobby J said Drake had to kiss James before he went back inside his own tunnel with the loss of the Raptors on Friday night. "Drake back in the Tunnel.. Had to get his Kiss from Lebron before he left," he tweeted.
But of course, Bet said it was not a kiss but was Drake's way of congratulating James by telling him some good words after the trolling during the eastern conference finals leg. LeBron was reported on his way to the locker room when the rapper approached him.
According to Australian News Network, Drake mocked James and his team when they lost to the Raptors during Games 3 and 4. James also retaliated by shouting at him at one point in Game 6 to make him know that the Cavs will win against the team he is betting on.
On Friday, the Cavs beat the Raptos in a 113-87 victory, giving them a shot at the NBA Finals . This is the second consecutive year they will compete for the finals crown and it could be against their former opponent and the defending champion, Golden State Warriors or the Oklahoma City Thunder.
James said that after winning against the Raptors, the team's focus will be on winning the finals. "We're still OK. We're not great yet," King James told The Guardian.
