?Drake Curse?: 36YO Rapper?s Love for $2.7 Billion Rich Franchise?s Home Draws Backlash From Fans Despite Isiah Thomas? Silent Stance

During the 80s, Isiah Thomas was one of the most dominant personalities in basketball. Known as a longtime professional rival of Michael Jordan, Zeke led his team to two championship wins. The Detroit Pistons legend retired from the NBA almost 29 years ago. Even then, however, he keeps himself updated on the latest happenings around the world of professional basketball. Including but not limited to, the associations of hip-hop artists and NBA franchises.

Prominent Canadian rapper Drake recently made an announcement, connecting with a $2.7 billion NBA team in the process. While Thomas highlighted the collab, other basketball enthusiasts were left sweating.

Isiah Thomas highlights Drake’s interest in Zeke’s potential team

The official Instagram handle of the Phoenix Suns recently uploaded a post highlighting four-time Grammy Award winner Drake hugging 26-year-old Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker. Along with the heartwarming moment, the post also highlighted a quote from the music artist himself. The quote was taken during the rapper?s Phoenix concert, which was held as part of his “It’s All a Blur” tour.

?I told (my manager) when the tour is over? I?m living in Phoenix for like a month or two. Come see my brothers hoop,? said Drake.

The post caught the attention of Isiah Thomas himself. He shared it on his Instagram story for his 659000 followers. Interestingly, Zeke might have his own vested interests in the franchise.

Back in December, American billionaire Mat Ishbia acquired the Phoenix Suns. One of his first moves was going all in for Kevin Durant. Soon after, rumors circulated that the businessman is planning to make Isiah Thomas the team?s President.

Ishbia?s spokesperson denied rumors of Zeke’s involvement in the team. Yet, his silent support of the Drake collaboration is not part of the general consensus.

Is the ‘Drake curse’ real?

Aubrey ‘Drake’ Graham has always been a big fan of sports in general. From making a surprise visit to the Texas Women?s Basketball team to standing up for the NBA world after Noah Lyles? controversial remarks, the $250 million rapper stays involved with the athletic world.

However, with his very expensive and very public bets, a phenomenon known as the ‘Drake curse’ began floating. The so called ?curse? is that teams or players suffer losses if they are associated with the Canadian rapper in any way.

With this context in mind, you might understand why some Suns fans would be sweating bullets. ??The Drake curse is still alive?, ?Please god don?t let Drake bet on suns games?, ?Just don?t let him wear a jersey that?s all.? Remembering how Devin Booker had to suffer because of the so-called ?Kardashian Curse?, a person wrote, ?Stay away. We don?t need another curse kardashians are gone now this mf.?

Though there were comedic jabs like ?Spanish drake incoming?, some Suns fans were not playing around. One of the concerned wrote, ?That?s all we need during a championship run a big distraction @champagnepapi access denied player!?
