This year's NBA Finals are underway and to ease the tension, Bleacher Report is offering some comedic relief with their "Game of Zones" webseries. In the most recent clip, Drake gets spoofed in an animated parody.
A play on HBO's hit show Game of Thrones, the series features various NBA notables including Doc Rivers, Rajon Rondo and Kobe Bryant.
For this week's episode, Drake's likeness appears as a singer in a tavern littered with pro athletes. The Toronto rapper, known to sing here and there, performs a less than live rendition of "Know Yourself" which takes aim at the Raptors' Kyle Lowry.
"Kyle Lowry goes through the six with all his bitter woes/And so he choked, and so he choked/That lord of Toronto."
The Washington Wizards beat the Raptors in the first round of the playoffs back in April.
Drizzy then goes on to sing about the Boston Celtics' noteworthy 2008 championship title, but the tune is met by the displeasure of Rajon Rondo, who catches the attention of a dark figure. Rondo was traded to the Dallas Mavericks after nine seasons with the Celtics.

Drake is currently preparing for his sixth annual OVO Fest. In March, he announced the lineup for the two-day concert. J. Cole will headline at Toronto's Molson Canadian Amphitheatre on Aug. 2 as a part of his Forest Hills Drive Tour. Cole will be joined by Big Sean,YG, Jeremih, Bas, Cozz and Omen.
So far, Drake is the only act confirmed for Aug. 3, with more "special guests" slated to be added to the bill. Lauryn Hill, Usher, 50 Cent, Trey Songz and Tinashe were among last year's surprise performers.
The "Legend" rhymer recently hinted that New York City may host its own OVO Fest in the near future.
