Oct. 31 (UPI) -- Drake is an avid basketball fan and Toronto Raptors supporter, but he recently showed off his own game.

The rapper was featured in a video from rapper/basketball skills coach @dribble2much. In the video, posted to Instagram, Drake takes the court in Beverly Hills, Calif. for the #OneAndDoneChallenge.

First the rapper lines up behind the 3-point line for a challenging attempt. He palms the basketball with his right hand before heaving it toward the rim. The quarterback-style toss makes it just inside the rim for a swish.

Drake then walks backward a few steps before sitting on the ground. A rebounder collects his previous attempt and rolls the ball back to Drake. The rapper reclines with his back to the floor before eying another tricky attempt. Drake heaves the ball with both hands and it goes right through the net. The rapper jumps up to celebrate.
