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.
