Fan Duel Toronto Raptors

VIDEO: Jack and Strombo crush it in the Hotline Bling Booth

Top that, Raptors fans.

It’s Drake Night 3 at the Air Canada Centre. It’s a beautiful, wonderful, amazing occasion.

As much as there’s a basketball game between a good and a very good team tipping off at 7:30, one that many of us will take seriously once it begins, there’s always room for levity. That’s what tonight is mostly about, I think: Sports are supposed to be fun and entertaining, and over the course of an 82-game season, we can lose sight of that.

So for as silly as the idea of Drake Night might strike you, or as ridiculous as the Hotline Bling Booth might appear (and is, to be clear), just embrace it. We can get serious once Drake’s player introductions are done.

So take a cue from city councillor Norm Kelly – I saw you at CBC an hour ago, give a homie love next time – and hit up the booth. Just don’t try to top the best Hotline Bling Booth appearance yet, courtesy of Jack Armstrong and George Stroumboulopoulos:

All of tonight’s Hotline Bling Booth Vines are being curated by the Raptors and can be found here (dap to bearded brother Dan Reynolds for pointing that out). If you participate tonight, tweet your video at the Raptors Republic account and I’ll retweet it.

Sadly, you won’t be seeing your boy in one. I rolled by at 4:30 and they wouldn’t let me participate. “Can’t have someone shutting it down so early,” they said.
