The jokes about Drake‘s jump shot might no longer be allowable — the rapper just showed off his 3-point stroke repeatedly in a skills contest against Carmelo Anthony … and it’s seriously improving!!!
The “Honestly Nevermind” rapper visited Nike’s headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon this week … and participated in a 3-point competition. And, according to footage obtained XXL Magazine, he drained (most of) his shots!

In the short clip, Drake nailed his first basket. The camera then panned away for a bunch of his other attempts, but it did ultimately come back around to catch a few more of his makes.
The makes weren’t enough to beat Melo, though … with the All-Star heating up and crushing him as Jayson Tatum and Russell Westbrook watched nearby.
Of course, Drake didn’t always use to look like this on the court … in fact, he famously used to be the owner of a busted jump shot.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
You’ll recall, while warming up with the Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball team back in 2014, he actually air-balled one of his jumpers.
But the diehard Toronto Raptors fan has clearly worked on his game since then … and the hard work seems to be paying off.
Could a three-peat in the Sanctuary Basketball League that he started last year be on the horizon? Based on how his shot’s fallin’ these days — seems that way!
