It's Great Being First African To Manage NBA Club - Nigerian, Masai Ujiri by TheRealMrStan(m): 1:41pm On Dec 13, 2014 |
The name of Hakeem Olajuwon readily comes to mind whenever basketball is being discussed in the United States of America and beyond, especially after his successes with the Houston Rockets. But beyond 'The Dream’, another Nigerian - Masai Ujiri, has broken the barriers and rose to the position of the General Manager of NBA Club - Toronto Raptors, the first by an African. In 2012-13 season, he was voted the NBA Executive of the Year. Ujiri was in the country to organise his yearly Giant of Africa/Nestle Top-50 Basketball Camp for boys and girls, which has been on now for over a decade. In an interview with Kunle Adewale he gave an insight into some of the achievements of the camp so farhttp://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/masai-ujiri-great-being-first-african-born-manager-of-an-nba-club/196537/ 5 Likes |
