'I Swear Sports and Music Are So Synonymous' - Drake closed his debut album, Thank Me Later, on a note that has defined his love and relationship with sports, specifically basketball. The players in sports and music do have a lot in common. According to Drake, "We want to be them, and they want to be us." And over the years, our favorite Canadian has been dropping clues in his lyrics that he desperately wants to be Steph Curry with the shot. Last weekend, Aubrey settled for the sidelines as a coach for the 2016 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. I guess I would coach too after publicly delivering an airball. No worries, Drake will find his way in the game one way or another. Here are 10 lyrics to prove it. — Janice Llamoca(Photo: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
