Last night, the NBA hosted it the first-ever NBA Awards on TNT, and it was as lit as you’d expect it to be. While the top players in the league were honored, Drake served as the host and tried his hardest to cook up jokes on stage. His stand out performances include his parody of “Get Out” starring him as Steph Curry and his skit with actor Will Ferrell.

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj was in the building to perform her latest smash hits. 2 Chainz opened Nicki's performance with "Realize" off Pretty Girls Like Trap Music as other rappers like Nas, Lil Wayne, Diddy, French Montana, and Fabolous sat within the crowd of all-star athletes. After making her grand entrance, the Young Money rapper performed "No Frauds" and her verse on Katy Perry's "Swish, Swish."
