Masai Ujiri looked so happy. He has spoken before about how much he loves Toronto, about his belief in the Raptors, about his ambition and his passions and his staff. He has spoken from the heart before, and it’s not the first time he has shown why people believe in him. Ujiri is a one-of-a-kind basketball executive. We knew that already.
