Wow.
I can understand why Ujiri didn’t have a credential he is the President of the Raptors he doesn’t need one. The question begs what did the sheriff said to him that makes Ujiri push him?
BSO sources tell me that the Sheriff instead of just asking who he was assumed he was someone that wasn’t supposed to be out there and aggressively put his hands on Ujiri. That is when Ujiri defended himself. Thankfully someone intervened and explained to the sheriff who Ujiri was and escorted him on the court.
A sheriff’s deputy was reportedly pushed and struck in the face by a man believed to be a Toronto Raptors executive after Game 6 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena Thursday, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said.
The incident occurred moments after the Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors to give Canada its first-ever NBA championship. Sheriff’s officials said the deputy denied the executive access to the court because he didn’t have proper credentials.
Witnesses on scene tell NBC Bay Area the Raptors executive involved in the altercation is Masai Ujiri, the team’s president of basketball operations and former general manager.
We have video of the aftermath of the altercation.
