In the video, Ujiri also touched on his global goals off the court. "The work continues — fight for equality in the justice system, work to prevent children from becoming child soldiers. Grow the game in Africa and build infrastructure there so kids can have a place to play, to dream their dreams. To make sure young women and young girls are valued and included."
Speaking of the franchise's objectives, he said "we will bring young talent to this city and continue to build with our unbelievable players."
"I've said it before, and I am saying it again. We will win in Toronto," he said. "On the court our goal is clear. Win. It's simple, win, bring another championship to Toronto."
