Sam, the dancing barista from Starbucks whose dances moves made him a viral sensation, recently appeared on "Ellen" with his manager Chris.

During the show, Ellen presented the two with gifts, including sending the two to a Toronto Raptors game.

Sam and Chris were guests of the team Monday when the Raptors hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder. They were also able to tour the team's BioSteel Centre and meet some of the players on Tuesday.

"He's really an inspiration for us," DeMar DeRozan said of Sam to City News' Faiza Amin. "I know he's a fan of ours, but after we've seen his stories, we definitely became fans of his."
