Drake hilariously imitates Klay Thompson on Instagram story (Video)
Drake had an amazing take on Klay Thompson’s viral video on a boat, imitating the Golden State Warriors star with a video of his own.
Klay Thompson went viral this week for living his best life on a boat while chatting with fans on social media.
He talked about life, basketball and even noted Toronto Raptors fan Drake.
Now, Drake has responded to the huge compliments Thompson paid him by dropping his own video on social media.
Bravo to Drake for a masterful and hilarious imitation.
Drake and Klay Thompson have enjoyed friendly banter
The beef Thompson mentioned links back to the 2019 NBA Finals when his Warriors battled Drake’s beloved Raptors. The two sides trash-talked throughout, though Drake came out on top as Kawhi Leonard powered Toronto to the title. Thompson dealt with injuries throughout the series.
Since then, Drake has gone on to make music and win awards. Thompson has had a tougher time of it. He hasn’t played professional basketball since the Game 6 loss on June 13, 2019, during which he tore his ACL.
The knee injury required surgery and kept him out for most of the 2020 season. Just when he was set to come back, disaster struck again. Thompson tore his Achilles tendon and missed another full season.
Some of Thompson’s boat video covered how much he misses the game and how excited he is to get back to it when the 2021-22 season finally rolls around.
Without Thompson, Stephen Curry has tried to carry the Warriors, but the team hasn’t made the playoffs in the last two seasons. The moment Thompson and Curry are back playing together is the moment Golden State will be expected to contend for championships again.
Billboard named Drake the Artist of the Decade at the Billboard Music Awards in May.
