It was a momentous occasion on Wednesday afternoon in Toronto. Not only was the Raptors’ current team president Masai Ujiri holding his first major press conference since re-upping with the franchise — and gaining a new “vice-chairman” title in the process — it also marked his return to public speaking in Toronto. I honestly can’t remember the date of Masai’s last in-person press conference, but it has been... some time.
For a sense of that glee — and to confirm straight from the man himself that Kyle Lowry is the greatest Raptor of all time — you can watch the entire press conference here:
For now, the two major issues to discuss here are: (1) the details of Ujiri’s contract with the Raptors, and (2) the location of where the Raptors will be playing for the 2021-22 season.
