The Milwaukee Bucks Need Drake

The Toronto Raptors lead the Eastern Conference Finals 3-2 over the Bucks after winning Game 5 on the road. Let's just say things are not going well for the Milwaukee Bucks.

The question is how does Milwaukee get there Mojo back? The Answer........ Drake. Yeah you read that right. Drake is a known Jynx for multiple sports teams and athletes.  When Drake is cheering for your team you should definitely be worried. Let's take a look at the victims of the Drake Jynx.

2014 and 2015 Kentucky Wildcats

 The 2014 Kentucky Wildcats were definitely not the best team in the country with a record of a record of 24-10 going into the NCAA tournament. Kentucky did not get the memo, sailing there way to a final four victory and a ticket to the national championship to play UConn. Everything was looking great for Kentucky, well until this happened.....

Drake had to go ruin in all by going into there locker room to give them a post game speech. Kentucky lost to UConn 60-54

Thanks Drake!

The 2015 Kentucky Wildcats were a forced to be reckoned with. With future NBA stars Devin Booker and Karl Anthony Towns how could you not be? Holding the number one ranking for the entire season with a perfect record they were the clear favorite to win the National Championship. They marched all the way to the Final Four where they had to face a far less superior Wisconsin team. Every analyst in the country had Kentucky winning this game, and sadly so did I. I'm a die hard Wisconsin fan, but I'm also a realist. Wisconsin's fate was sealed, Kentucky by a million I thought. That is until Drake had to make a public bet with rapper The Game and screwed up the Earth's rotation again. Wisconsin came out And played out of there minds and beat the Wildcats 71-64.

Thanks Drake!

2018-2019 Alabama Crimson Tide

 Last year's Alabama football team was one of the best teams I've ever seen. Blowing teams out of the water all the way to the National Championship to play against Clemson for there 18 national title. The script was written, Alabama wins! That is until Drake recorded a video wearing an Alabama sweatshirt.

 Alabama lost to Clemson 44-16. 

Thanks Drake! 

  

Conor McGregor

 When Conor McGregor fought Floyd Mayweather on August 26th, 2017 the whole world was watching. Could a MMA fighter with a boxing record of 0-0 defeat Floyd Mayweather who is arguably the greatest boxer of all time? The answer was no. Floyd outboxed McGregor and eventually stopped him with a 10th round TKO. Some people say McGregor didn't have the right to be in the same ring with Floyd and his inexperience was the reason for the loss. I have a different theory.

  One of the stops for the world tour of this fight was in Toronto Canada. This is where Conor McGregor screwed himself. He met Drake...

 This would not be the last time the Drake Jynx would affect McGregor either. 

UFC 229 had one of the most highly anticipated fights in MMA history, Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov. The pre fight trash talk to this fight was brutal. With McGregor talking about Khabib's family, religion, and country things reached a level that we've never seen before a fight. McGregor wanted to win the belt back that he never lost. What a better to do it then beat an undefeated fighter who you have personal beef with. Where did McGregor go wrong? Having Drake holding an Irish Flag at the Weighins the night before the fight.

 Thanks Drake!

2018 Toronto Raptors

Finally we are back to where we started. The 2018 Raptors had the best record in the Eastern Conference. They were the favorite to make to the Finals and after the first round things were going great. That is until the met the Cavs in round 2. They got swept and embarrassed and there season was over. Why did this happen? I'm sure you know where this is going. In game one Drake got into a altercation with Kendrick Perkins. Ultimately ending the Raptors chances and keeping his Jynx alive.

 So there you have it. Milwaukee needs Drake to be at every game cheering on the Raptors. Just don't let him wear your jersey.
