Drake Teases ‘Iceman’ With Frozen Courtside Seats at Toronto Raptors Game

Drizzy's Raptors are headed to the NBA Playoffs and Iceman season could be on the horizon.

As a Toronto Raptors ambassador, Drake is a staple in his pair of courtside seats at Scotiabank Arena throughout the regular season.
