Music superstar Drake and comedic actor Kevin Hart, two omnipresent dudes in courtside seats at NBA gyms, will coach the Canada and USA teams at the All-Star Celebrity Game next month in Toronto.
Drizzy, the Raptors’ Global Ambassador, will lead his squad against Hart, who has somehow accumulated four MVPs from these affairs.
Steve Nash and José Bautista are also involved in the “coaching”.
