Drake‘s love for the game of basketball is well-known around the game, but did y’all know the Canadian crooner was once fined $500 by Warrior’s head coach, Steve Kerr?
The 2016 NBA Coach Of The Year revealed that he once had to hit the “God’s Plan” rapper with a small fine after he caused Steph Curry and Draymond Green to show up late to a team flight.
“We had a home game, and we were flying to L.A. after our home game, and we all got to the airport and Steph and Draymond weren’t on the plane.” After making some calls to figure out what was going on with two of the team’s biggest stars, they learned that Steph and Draymond were still at the arena with the 6 God. “We had a team rule at the time, that you could bring a friend on the plane a couple times a year, and unbeknownst to me, Steph decided to use one of his slots for Drake.”
As if Drake needed any help traveling around the country.
After the three amigos finally made it to their flight they were all fined $500 for holding up the team flight.
