In the middle of the Toronto Raptors' first playoff win in years, Drake, sitting courtside, pulled out a lint roller and began cleaning his pants with surprising enthusiasm.
It turned into a bit of a thing. People made jokes. Fans mimicked the Toronto rapper. Even former NBA star Charles Barkley weighed in.
Now everyone's favourite Swedish low-cost furniture retailer is doing its part to make sure the Raptors' playoff run is free of lint.
IKEA Canada announced on its Twitter account Wednesday afternoon that it would be giving out lint rollers before the Raptors' game against the Brooklyn Nets that evening.
No lint in our house! We're giving out IKEA lint rollers before tonight's game. Details to come. Go T.O. #WeTheNorth http://t.co/zbw78amwFO- IKEA Canada (@IKEACanada) April 30, 2014
After splitting games on in Brooklyn, the Raptors return to Toronto for Game 5 with the first-round playoff series tied 2-2.
No word on whether Drake, the team's global ambassador, will be in attendance for Wednesday's game. Or the state of his pants.
