Drake is back at it with his courtside antics. The rapper had an exchange with Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry during a time out on Thursday night, during which he picked a piece of lint out of the basketball player's hair.
According to his following post on Instagram, Drake is now selling the lint on eBay.
The post read, “Steph Curry hair lint for sale on my eBay right now!!! username: DraymondShouldntWear23.”
As a result, listings for “Steph Curry Hair Lint” under the username DraymondShouldn’tWear23 started popping up all over eBay.
The biggest surprise – most of the posts were actually getting bids. One of the listings has bids up to $96,600, which is presumably the actual post from Drake himself, though there are other listings with bids as high as $11,500 too.
The Golden State Warriors fell to the Toronto Raptors last night in the first game of the NBA Finals. Drake wore a vintage Dell Curry (Steph Curry’s father) Raptors jersey as a way to troll the Warriors’ famed point guard.
This wasn’t the first time Drake has trolled teams on the sidelines of an NBA game. During the Eastern conference finals last week, Drake – who is a strong Raptors fan – walked over to Raptors coach Nick Nurse and gave him tender shoulder rub. He spent much of the game yelling at the Milwaukee Bucks (particularly their star player Giannis Antetokounmpo) who the Raptors ending up beating out for the conference title. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer had some words to share on the rapper’s antics.
“There’s certainly no place for fans — or whatever Drake is for the Raptors — on the court,” Budenholzer said in a press conference call after the game. “There’s boundaries and lines for a reason.”
However, Drake’s exchange with Curry last night didn’t seem to bother the point guard. The pair were pictured smiling at each other during the quick timeout chat, as Drake helped clean up Curry’s ‘do for the rest of the game.
This likely won’t be the last of Drake’s courtside shenanigans – he clearly knows he’s been just as much a star of the NBA postseason as the actual players, so keep an eye out for more Drake airtime in the games to follow and check out his eBay account if you’re interested in buying a piece of lint for a few thousand dollars...
