Nobody does April Fools’ Day like Patrick Patterson does.

The Toronto Raptors big man celebrated April 1 in all of its glory on Saturday by pulling an epic prank on teammates. Focusing specifically on the younger players (namely, rookie Fred VanVleet and sophomores Norman Powell and Delon Wright), Patterson got into the team parking garage and covered each of their cars in multi-colored Post-it notes.

The tradition of April Fools pranks is apparently a sacred one in the NBA fraternity, ranging everywhere from Toronto and Phoenix to Golden State and Denver. And with the Raptors the winners of seven of their last eight games, they can definitely afford to be in the practical joking mood.
