This coming June is the first NBA Awards, and they will be hosted by Drake.
Drake has been the global ambassador for his fave team, the Toronto Raptors, for several seasons. Awards like Coach of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player and Defensive Player of the Year will be handed out during the awards ceremony. A number of awards will also be given out based on fan votes – these will be revealed Thursday night on Inside the NBA on TNT.
According to reports, Drake will also serve as one of the producers of the awards show. He told slamonline, “I love hosting. I love being in a room full of iconic, legendary people that I look up to and having that pressure of having to make them laugh and enjoy their evening.”
The NBA Awards will take place on June 26th at 9pm.
Also, Drake was recently named the most popular recording artists for 2016. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry said Tuesday that Drake had the years’ bestselling single, with “One Dance,” and the third bestselling album, “Views” (Associated Press).
