Drake Gets Custom Sneakers for the Toronto Raptors
By Courtney E. Smith
Toronto Raptors global ambassador and superfan Drake has been giving out good luck charms, it appears.
Raptors guard Louis Williams took to Instagram to post a shot of himself from a Monday (Nov. 10) match-up between the Raptors and the Orlando Magic, during which he wore a pair of gold OVOs gifted to him by Drake. Williams shot back-to-back 3-pointers in the game and credited the sneakers with his performance.

Drake reposted the photo, adding, “RP from @louwillville went off in the OVO Fest Gold 3′s! Louuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
Amir Johnson of the Raptors also wore sneakers from Drake during the game, a pair of “Drake vs. Lil Wayne” Air Jordan IIIs, also in custom gold.
Have they helped? You could say that; the Raptors are currently off to a 7-1 start for the 2014-2015 season.
