With the way fans have commented, it is clear that most just want to have fun with Khaled on the sidelines. A very few of them were serious, wondering why he was so into it while the player waited. However, most of them took the situation lightly.
Certain people ended up comparing him to Drake, believing that Khaled wants to be Miami’s global ambassador. Drake, who is known to support the Toronto Raptors, is also the team’s ambassador. With Khaled being present to watch games all the time, people think he wants to become exactly like Drake.
