Toronto Raptors President Masai Ujiri leads the only non-US team in the National Basketball Association, and he’s spearheading an effort to take the game global.
On this episode of Power Players, Toronto Raptors President Masai Ujiri explains how sports can be a tool of economic development.
Africa has produced some of the National Basketball Association’s biggest stars, past and present—from Hakeem Olajuwon to Joel Embiid and many more in between.
With the game globally more popular than ever, one of the league’s most successful executives sees potential for a bigger play: Using basketball to accelerate economic development in Africa. “Maybe the best thing I ever discovered that helped me in my career was the confidence in the continent, and the confidence in the talent in the continent,” Toronto Raptors President Masai Ujiri says in the latest episode of Power Players. “And if we grew the game, the spotlight will start to come to this continent.”

My uncle use to bet every game would lose by half a point always it’s crazy
Q as a a a aq
Water is wet too
well yeah of course it is, it's a billion dollar business.
Are European basketball players considered "white guys"?
Tim Donahue, 2001 and 2009 Lakers
The only way sports will be legit is when they replace refs with sensors and cameras.
But it wouldn’t be as entertaining, so It won’t happen, apart of it is watching the players react to poor calls by refs
GoodLuck gambling boyzzzz lol
Joker got screwed out of an MVP because the league didn’t want him to win three in a row when he’s not that marketable.
a d3 14 year old kid can 1v1 a WNBA player and win.
So we should Ignore all the former n b a players and referees who confirmed that it's really Rigged and believe this guy lol u can't Take people like this series who deny the obvious
2020 Lakers is a joke both LeBron and Davis were suffering injuries and their team was below 500, they get a couple months off to heal and talk things out. Without covid Lakers wouldn't win banner 17
its rigged
Jason Williams was the best passer and Dennis Rodman could be considered the best rebounder
The gameplay itself isn’t scripted, what is rigged is the coaches and refs
They don’t necessarily rigged the game anymore, they’re aiming for player stats.hence Luka game 3
My guy thinks that the NBA is the suspect behind who is rigging the NBA. Dude needs to look into this organization known as the mafia.. they may or may not, but definitely have ties to Vegas… which in case you may or may not know is tied to gambling… And since sports gambling is a big business… Perhaps owning a few refs is in certain peoples best interest…
Please do another one with this NBA I'm just feed up with this scripted ass shit
9:23 you conclude he’s a worse shooter from that oic?
Your telling me NBA is not rigged while admitting refs make bad calls constantly. So, refs calling aau teenagers make better calls than those "professionals" making 200-500 thousand? Why are they paid that much to begin with? Its because they make bad calls. Where is the outrage on behalf off the players affected by bad calls? All sports are rigged. The only difference is level of success
all sports are fake. i used to love soccer now i hate it. ALL FAKE mofo like WWF lol
We will always take all Africans on this journey no matter how much you hate us.
Massai Ujiri. A Giant in deeds❤
This is hilarious a whole different country is going to basically be running a continents sports league
mentioning george floyd with Muhmmad ali and barrack obama is beyond dumb
Interviewer says 'you're not sort of a big wig in the NBA'. Dude, Masai is the Vice-Chairman to Larry Tanenbaum, Chairman of the NBA Board of Governors…
Excellent piece
He’s definitely not improving the raps. He can’t. After the whole demar thing, people don’t trust him. It’s how he traded him, He could have kept him, and traded some other guys but he didn’t. LBJ was everyone’s problem in the east, Debo needed help and they never really gave it to him.
A well-balanced report. Thank you
Love the fact Toronto is represented in the NBA. Why not Montreal also?
man I love Masai. Inspirational
So Africa provides the talent, US and Europe recruits them under their banner. Got it.
Weird title card flash at 8:59
Improving the Raptors should be top priority.
👋👋👋👋👋 Great work.
🤍🖤💜🏀🥇🎉
Bless you Tim Leiweke for bringing Masai back to TO.
Africa does not claim Obama
He’s confused
Cheers from west Africa
