After the Toronto Raptors were defeated by the Brooklyn Nets 94-87 in game 1 on Saturday afternoon to lose home court advantage in their first round series against the Brooklyn Nets.

As the Raptors tried to even the series in game 2 (and they did, winning 100-95), two of their most famous fans were in attendance – Toronto mayor Rob Ford and rapper Drake.

During the game, Drake could be seen using a lint roller on his pants in his court side seats.

Apparently Drake has started a new trend among Raptors’ fans. During Friday night’s pivotal game 3, Raptors’ point guard Kyle Lowry made a big bucket to put the Raptors ahead in the first quarter. As the camera panned out to show Lowry running back on defense, a Raptors’ fan could be seen using a lint roller in celebration.
