Drake has officially entered the NBA's ongoing sneaker rivalry, taking Kevin Durant's side in Nike's latest advertisement.
The Toronto rapper stars alongside the Houston Rockets player in a commercial promoting the new KD 19 sneakers. Drake reprises his role as a 'yes man,' showering Durant with praise.
