Tomorrow, the Mavericks introduce Maasai Ujeri as their new head of everything.

What's the actual?

President Basketball Ops, Associate or Alternate Governor.

That's a cool, cool title.

I know.

I feel like governor is taken on,

that moniker has become way more prominent in the NBA world in the last five years.

Well, it took the place of owner because the owner has negative connotation.

Negative themes. So here in the, in the, um, owner has negative connotation. The gum, negative stains.

So here in the press release from Gina Miller,

who runs communications now for the Mavericks at a very high level,

the release says Ujeri will oversee all aspects of the Mavericks basketball operations, including roster construction, player personnel, and scouting, while working with team leadership to shape the organization's basketball philosophy in long-term direction.

So if you're saying, wow, that sounds like just about everything.

It is.

It's just about everything.

They made a major play to get Ujari, who is best known for his work with the Toronto Raptors for about 12 seasons,

including their building their national,

or their NBA champion, excuse me.

In 2019, obviously Canada's only NBA title and a incredible story, really,

as they trade for Kauai, when kawai expressed very vocally that he did not want to go there and uh in their

one season together won the NBA title and then kawai left as quick as he could.

That's the definition of all-in right there.
