Mike’s best friends are his employees, so some of the money he earns finds its way into their pockets. Blue’s the hype man, Kilmer’s the filmer, Gerry’s the manager, Foley’s the merch designer, Fader’s the DJ, and Paddy’s the director.

Jared Goff is a former California Bears quarterback who was drafted #1 overall by the Los Angeles Rams in the 2016 draft. Goff’s very much aware of this name drop.

Reminiscent of a line from “Tuscan Leather”:

Toronto Raptors starting lint roller Drake and former Oklahoma City Thunder star forward Kevin Durant, the biggest names in their respective cities, have a friendly relationship. In 2014, the Toronto Raptors were fined $25,000 by the NBA because as a team ambassador, Drake violated the league’s tampering rules by recruiting Durant at a concert.

Additionally, Drake ties in Durant’s jersey number (#35) as he boasts about his success and uses wordplay with “rain” and “thunder.”

During the 2000 NBA All-Star Dunk Contest, Toronto Raptors shooting guard Vince Carter threw down a series of dunks, including a stunning arm-in-rim dunk and a through-the-legs slam. Drake was only 13 years old at the time, but he was already nice at rapping by then.

Drake can still catch Carter on the court today—the dunk artist has played for the Memphis Grizzlies since 2014.

This is probably only the second or third time the sports section has been cited in an article about Genius. It’s the first time the sports section has been mentioned before other non-music tags. Small victories ftw.
