Drake<\/a><\/strong> offered up quite<\/em> the rendition of “Oh, Canada” during Game 5 of the NBA Finals, and let’s just say it was every bit sweeter than a spoonful of maple syrup. <\/p>\n

Cameras spotted the Canadian-born rapper belting out his native country’s national anthem before tip off, and it didn’t take long for the internet to take notice of the meme-able moment. Swaying side to side and with his eyes closed, Drake wasn’t afraid to let his patriotic side shine through. <\/p>\n

The Toronto Raptors currently lead the Golden State Warriors 3-1 in the series, and Drizzy has been there every step of the way as his home team attempts to clinch their very first NBA championship title.<\/p>\n

The “God’s Plan” MC previously made headlines for his courtside behavior during Game 1 of the Finals. Drake attempted to troll Warriors star Steph Curry<\/strong> by wearing a signed Dell Curry<\/strong> jersey, who is Steph’s father and just so happened to play for the Raptors years ago. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Other notable attendees inside the Toronto Raptorsat Scotiabank Arena on Monday evening included Shitt’s Creek<\/em> star Eugene Levy<\/strong>, hockey legend Wayne Gretzky <\/strong>and pro tennis star Eugenie Bouchard<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
