Welcome into Masai O'Jerry, the president of the defending champion, Toronto Raptors.

I see him smile.

When I say that, June 18th, 2020, you might have imagined Maasai that maybe somebody wouldn't still be calling you the president of the defending champion,

but you're going to hold out of that title at least for a few more months.

You know, thanks, thanks, George.

Thanks for having me.

I want to hold on to it as long as I can, but I also want us to get back to basketball pretty quick here.

It's a great title to have. It's been fun.

Masai, the last several months you have been, you know, as an all, I think as an alternate

governor, one of the governors in Toronto, as a member of the competition committee,

which is a group of, there's some owners, there's a couple owners, there's presidents, GM's coaches,

which meet and talk about and work through a lot of these big issues.

There's a GM committee that Bobby Webster, your GM is on, but, and your relationship with

Adam Silver, how have you seen over the last several months, maybe the adaptability or how

the NBA different organizations, ownership groups, the management side, the commissioner's office.

How have you seen everybody work together through this crisis?

You know, it's been really, really unique, you know, and I think Adam has done an incredible

job in bringing people together.

So whether it's owners, players, general managers, presidents, I think even the marketing

side, the PR side, there are so many committees that have put their heads together with this thing.

And I think everybody has had a stake in it.

Honestly, it's such a difficult time to navigate.
