What drives the Toronto Raptor’s Masai Ujiri?

Available for over a year

Like many children in Africa, Masai Ujiri was obsessed with football as he was growing up. But one day a new love struck him and he started what was to become a lifelong love affair with basketball. He’s been a player, a scout, an agent and today he’s the president of the NBA side the Toronto Raptors, making him the first and only African-born president of a professional sports franchise in North America. He’s also the founder of Giants of Africa: an organisation that aims to empower young African boys and girls through sport and basketball. Alan caught up with Ujiri to talk about his journey and what drives him. Presenter: Alan Kasujja Guest: Masai Ujiri
