LeBron James and Drake Exchange Words Following Toronto's Call for Timeout

LeBron James is no stranger to courtside conversation—particularly when it comes to hip-hop's elite.

His second-quarter exchange with Drake, however, wasn't quite comparable to his past interactions with the likes of Beyonce and Jay Z.

Following a Raptors call for timeout during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday night, No. 23 and Toronto's official team ambassador struck up what appeared to be some not-so-friendly smack talk when James crossed courtside en route to the Cleveland Cavaliers' bench. 

If Drizzy's intention was to support his squad, perhaps he should seek an alternate route. Poking the bear is a tactic never recommended.

Postgame Update

But beef the moment did not turn out to be.

The pair hugged it out almost immediately following the Cavs' victory.
