Masai Ujiri speaks in first TV interview after a sheriff deputy's leaked body camera footage shows a confrontation between the officer and the executive after his team won the championship in 2019.In 2019, when the Toronto Raptors won their first NBA Championship title, the dream moment quickly turned into a nightmare for the team's president, Masai Ujiri.
Alan Strickland, the sheriff's deputy who halted Ujiri, was seen on body-camera footage shoving the team president twice as he reached for his credentials. Ujiri's lawyers filed a countersuit and called the deputy's account of the encounter"a complete fabrication" that ultimately led to release of the body camera footage in August 2020.
"As much as we say this happened to me, it's worse that happened to other people, right. George Floyd -- I lost a moment, people lost their life," he said."I say it as humble as I can, there are some people who don’t have privilege or job to fight this. They’re wrongly accused, no bodycam, nobody sees what happens, they’re incarcerated, accused or charged. We have to fight for them.
