Freddie Gillespie singing, dancing to ‘Party in the USA’ is a must-watch

The outgoing Raptors rookie provided yet another wholesome moment on Friday morning, and it is totally worth watching.

With the week inching closer toward the weekend, the Toronto Raptors dropped a feel-good video on Friday morning that will surely have you feeling ready for the day.

The video involves Raptors players Malachi Flynn and Freddie Gillespie fulfilling their rookie karaoke duties following a recent practice. The scene is all-too-common as rookie players are often forced to perform in front of their teammates, and the Raptors’ duo wasn’t excluded.

Raptors veteran Kyle Lowry got the action started when he brought up Flynn and Gillespie and gave them a simple task: To sing “Party in the U.S.A.” by Miley Cyrus.

They seemed a bit shy at first, but Gillespie totally got into it and made his performance a must-watch for fans.

Gillespie, who was just signed to a second 10-day contract on April 18, might be the newest member of the Raptors but has already emerged as a favorite among fans.

During his first media availability over Zoom, he hilariously needed a few seconds to adjust to the camera. In another sequence, he needed to ask an off-camera member of Raptors PR if he could answer a question about the officiating without getting fined.

As for his on-court production, Gillespie is averaging 6.1 points, four rebounds and 1.4 blocks in seven appearances with the Raptors. He is coming off a four-point, five-rebound and five-block performance on Wednesday in a win over the Brooklyn Nets.

While it remains to be seen if Gillespie will stay with the Raptors beyond his final 10-day contract, the 23-year-old will be remembered for his entertaining moves on and off the court…

Happy Friday, everyone!
