Before the city of Toronto welcomes the 2014 NBA All-Star game, the Toronto Raptors will be appointing Drake as the team’s “global ambassador”.

The Toronto Star reports that the franchise will announce today that Drake will be hired to help rebrand the team as their host, business partner and consultant.

"In what will start out looking like a publicity stunt and may end up changing the face of a franchise, the Toronto Raptors are about to begin a major partnership with the city’s most globally recognizable citizen".
