Vice-chairman and President of the Toronto Raptors Basketball Club Masai Ujiri and his foundation Giants of Africa have completed the first phase of multi years, 100-court investment in the infrastructure of basketball throughout Africa.
“Yes, I’m back to base and I can happily say it was good and worth all the work put in,” Masai said in a telephone conversation from Toronto. “I dreamt of being an NBA star but I was never good enough for that level of competition. I only managed to play in a few leagues in Europe and few times with D’Tigers but I used the opportunity to target the NBA in a different way. I started as a scout moving around the places but today I have moved up.
“You can see how the circle has been completed who would have thought that Precious would be in an NBA team about six after learning with other kids in Nigeria?”
