Draft night star’s hilarious antic goes viral on NBA Twitter

As the thirteenth pick, the Toronto Raptors drafted the Kansas Jayhawks‘ 19-year-old ace shooter Gradey Dick. Soon after the draft, Dick proclaimed that he is ready to make big friends in Toronto. Dick said he wants the Toronto-based hip-hop superstar Drake to wear his jersey. Now, Gradey Dick has made news for a different reason.

Shortly after the draft, Gradey Dick took to the SirusXM NBA Radio’s studio to have a free-wheeling conversation with the hosts. The conversation indeed turned candid. The hosts requested the 19-year-old to impersonate the iconic character, Donald Duck from the Mickey Mouse Club House?show. After patiently preparing for the impersonation, Dick said, ?What’s up, I’m Gradey Dick?I’m going to Toronto,? in Donald Duck’s voice.

Bleacher Report tweeted a snippet of the impersonation and captioned their tweet,?“Gradey Dick’s impersonation of Donald Duck is UNREAL.”?
