The Game would have liked to have been in Toronto last night, daping it up with Drake, Barack Obama and the other luminaries who saw the Golden State Warriors come storming back and even the NBA Finals.

But he couldn't be there since he's been banned from Canada.

"I can't even get into Canada," The Game said told TMZ. "I can't even go to the game!"

And why?

"Because I'm a gangster."

Game was deported from Canada in 2011 due to his gang affiliation. He tried to tour our northern neighbor earlier this year, only to find the ban was still on.

There's nothing to prevent Game from showing up to Game 3 on Oakland Wednesday.

If he does attend, it's unclear who he will be pulling for.  During his chat with TMZ, he went into a typical name-dropping frenzy and explained he was boys with Toronto superstar Kawhi Leonard and Toronto superfan Drake but also Golden State splash bros Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
