Drake denied access to Miami Heat locker room

Platinum-selling recording artist Drake is a close personal friend of LeBron James. Heck, he's more than that; James himself once called Drake "real family." Combine that with the fact that the singer/rapper once famously called the Miami Heat the best team ever two months after they had watched the Dallas Mavericks celebrate an NBA championship on their home floor, and clearly, his Heatles bona fides have long since been established.

 

So after the Heat finished off a 95-88 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals to lock down their second straight NBA championship, Drake made his way from his courtside seat toward the victorious home team's locker room, where he could join his longtime pal in celebrating the Heat's triumph. Just one problem: He didn't have a locker room pass.

 

No, for real — he really did say that.
