Josh Lewenberg: Masai Ujiri's goodbye: "Toronto, Canada, I love you. The country that welcomed me. The city that became home. This bond we share will last forever... Now a new chapter begins but your love will always be with me... You will win again in Toronto."
Sam Presti: We have people from Canada, Serbia, the West Coast, the East Coast, middle America, France, Australia, that all come together for a collective goal. There's compassion on the team. There's a cowboy toughness, a self-reliance that comes from being homegrown, and an essential sense of goodness. If that sounds familiar, that's because those are the same things that have been in Oklahoma for generations. I think the thing to recognize is that the team is really just a reflection of the state. I think the team itself resonates with the people here because it really is them looking at what makes living here special and unique.
Justin Trudeau: Masai my friend, thank you for your inspiring leadership and dedication to the Raptors. No one will forget that incredible 2019 championship run and your passion for the game. You’ve shown not only our youth in Canada but around the world and in Africa through Giants of Africa, the power of sport and education. Looking forward to seeing what you do next!
