The rapper even wore a customized sweatshirt for the occasion.
Noted basketball enthusiast and sometimes bandwagon fan Drake took full advantage of “Drake Night” where his beloved Toronto Raptors took on the Golden State Warriors — to ask out ESPN sideline reporter Doris Burke during the game.
The Canadian rapper, a global ambassador for the Raptors, made his intentions known early during the evening by sporting a customized sweatshirt with Burke’s face printed on it and the declaration, “Woman Crush Everyday.”

Later during a court side interview with ESPN’s Israel Gutierrez, he expressed admiration for Burke, calling her his “inspiration” and layering on praise.
“I think she’s a stunning woman, incredible at what she does,” he said. “I wish she was here tonight.”

Drake ended the interview by extending an invitation for a dinner date with Burke with an interesting caveat.
“Dinner at my house anytime, as long as she comes alone,” he said.
