Rapper and [noted basketball enthusiast Drake](http://time.com/4543654/drake-nba-bandwagon-fan/) doubled down on his love for the sport when he hosted [the first-ever NBA Awards](http://time.com/4834335/drake-will-ferrell-nba-awards/) in New York on Monday night.

While [Russell Westbrook](http://time.com/4834491/travel-ban-syria-russell-westbrook/) and Draymond Green took home top prizes that night, Drizzy also made a case for being one of the great winners of the night with his hosting duties, which included a hilarious skit that poked fun at golden couple of the NBA, [Golden State Warriors champ Steph Curry](http://time.com/4301269/stephen-curry-2016-time-100/) and [wife Ayesha](http://time.com/3908307/ayesha-curry-parenting/).

In the skit, which riffs on the horror film _Get Out_, Drake plays Steph, who’s chilling at home after winning the NBA Finals. After receiving a call from Draymond Green who wants to party, Steph makes plans to hit the streets but is ultimately stopped by Ayesha who employs the same methods as the family in _Get Out_ to keep Steph at home.

Watch the full skit below.
