Drake is known for his love for basketball, and last night he had an occasion to host the first ever NBA Awards at New York’s Basketball City at Pier 39.
During the show, Drizzy appeared in two show-stopping sketches. First, with Will Ferrell where they starred as handshake coaches and poked fun at DeMar DeRozan. Second, portraying a parody of this years hit movie Get Out.
The Handshake coach sketch focused on NBA Handshake Specialist and an NBA Dexterity Technician, respectively — teaching NBA players different handshakes like “the Jenga,” “the Prom,” “the Obi-Wan Kenobi,” and “the Black Dad.” Watch below:
The handshake game is strong with @Drake & Will Ferrell ?

In the parody of Get Out, Drake plays Steph Curry, who only wants to go to a party to celebrate winning the championship. But Ayesha has other plans for him. She wants her husband to stay at home instead of partying with Draymond Green and company, and has interesting ways of making that happen that should be familiar to anyone who’s seen Jordan Peele’s film. Check it out below:
