The 2024 NBA Finals tip off on Thursday, June 6, in Boston as the Boston Celtics host the Dallas Mavericks for Game 1. Drake is not competing for the Larry O’Brien Trophy, but he remains undefeated in being sports-adjacent at all times. Stay tuned for his inevitable bet placed on Stake.

How To Buy Drake’s OVO And ESPN 2024 NBA Finals Varsity Jacket

According to Billboard, Drake and his October’s Very Own (OVO) brand partnered with ESPN to produce exclusive 2024 NBA Finals-branded varsity jackets, which will become available to US customers on Thursday, June 6, at 10 a.m. ET through the OVO app.

Billboard also relayed specific product details, as excerpted below.

“Combining the worlds of sports, music, and fashion, the heavy-duty OVO x ESPN jackets are sure to be a collector’s item. Only 175 were produced in total, and they’re priced at $698 retail.

The 2024 NBA Finals and October’s Very Own logos pop off the sharp jacket’s breast plates with a golden outlining. The sleek sleeves are fitted with premium leather and feature the NBA On ESPN logo while the back contains a combination of the signature OVO owl and ESPN trademark emblem. Inside the jackets are also embroidered with the specific number of the model out of the 175 made.”

Drake and Metro Boomin don’t seem to particularly like each other. That’s putting it mildly. In summary, Metro and Future’s We Don’t Trust You track “Like That” featuring Kendrick Lamar ignited a rap war (“beef” doesn’t feel intense enough) between Drake and Lamar, including myriad diss tracks between Drake and Lamar and Metro’s “BBL Drizzy.”

So, while the 2024 NBA Finals will feature the Boston Celtics against the Dallas Mavericks, it has also incidentally become a roundabout sparring ground for Drake and Metro Boomin.

According to Billboard, Drake’s October’s Very Own (OVO) and ESPN partnered to produce 175 exclusive varsity jackets for the 2024 NBA Finals. The black-and-gold jackets will become available for purchase in the US on Thursday, June 6, at 10 a.m. ET on the OVO app.

Meanwhile, Metro Boomin posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he will star in a commercial during Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals on ABC. Metro Boomin could have done the funniest thing ever and feature “BBL Drizzy” as the commercial’s song, but instead, the 30-second clip is soundtracked by “Runnin Outta Time” from We Don’t Trust You.

Shortly after the album dropped, LeBron James was spotted rapping along to “Like That” during the Los Angeles Lakers’ pre-game warmups. Metro Boomin expressed his appreciation for James on X, and now, he can also technically claim to have made it further in the 2024 NBA Playoffs than James’ Lakers.

Game 1 of the 2024 NBA Finals will tip off at 8:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 6, airing on ABC from Boston’s TD Garden.
