But what did NBA sideline reporter Doris Burke do when she got hit on by Drizzy?  We have all the inside scoop about the little flirty incident.

We all know through the many affairs Drake has had in the past, that he is more of a woman seducer. From Rihanna, models that look like Rihanna to Serena Williams and now Doris Burke too? Are you ever planning to settle down anytime soon Drizzy? Okay, let us know what happened.

It was an average day in work for Burke, who was attending the game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Toronto Raptors. Drake, the official ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, was sitting in front of her.

But what followed next left Doris speechless. Drake turned around and made a heart shape with his hands and pointed at her, repeating the same thing again.

She revealed this during an interview with the New York magazine.

“I just could not believe this happened. Drake turned around — my seat at game six was right behind him — makes a heart shape [with his hands], and points at me. I’m looking around behind me to see who’s there, turn back to him, and then he points and he does it again. I texted my daughter and said, “You need to know Drake just did this to me.”

Even Complex covered the news:
