New Orleans Pelicans Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations David Griffin spoke to the media in an introductory press conference on Wednesday, April 18
First, I’d like to thank Mrs. Benson, Dennis Lauscha, and the entire Pelicans organization and ownership team for entrusting us with this incredible opportunity. I’m humbled and honored to represent this franchise and our amazingly passionate fan base.
As an aside, my infatuation with New Orleans began when I was 14 years old. I promised the people who used to work for me that I wasn’t going to cry, so I’m going to fight this.
