Drake is a big basketball fan (albeit a fair-weather one), and he decided to attend a contest between his hometown Toronto Raptors and the Philadelphia Sixers on Sunday night.
There was no specific dress code for the game, and certainly no one told Drake to get ready for a really nerdy PTA meeting, but nevertheless, he felt compelled to show up looking like this:
Naturally, the Internet erupted upon seeing Drake in this state. Did Drake look more like Costanza...
Just tuned into the #raptors game and saw that Drake has borrowed George Costanza's glasses. pic.twitter.com/217E3aWcIz — David Alter (@dalter) November 10, 2014
...or Funke?

While the issue was never officially settled, Drizzy did score a subtweet from the opposing Sixers:

As offensive as this whole thing was, it was perhaps the second-silliest basketball-related thing Drake has done this fall.
Mr. "Over" took the court with the Kentucky Wildcats last month, and proceeded to air ball his first shot during warmups. The poor man asked for the ball back, and then missed again.
All of this prompted Kentucky coach John Calipari to praise the young rapper.
"I'm like, this guy, if he makes it, I wanna see if he'll change," Calipari told the Seth Davis Show (via MTV). "Grounded, the same guy, kind heart and then you find out like 'Wow', Michael Jackson talented, like megastar ... has not changed."
Coach Cal was asked how their bromance began.
"It started pretty early when he was just coming on to his own," he said. "I'll tell ya, I loved him as a person."
