I think there’s also the whole thing about being questioned by border sec. Nobody likes that. I have no idea how it is through nexus and express lines though, I mean they have to get the heads up that an NBA team is rolling through and to not interrogate them too hard but who knows.

NBA players should really have a way to expedite it and should get it done. I imagine raptors players and staff have it as a must.


They do. Do you really think you'd be in line with LeBron James after a game ? I've met a few customs officers that work at Pearson.

I think a sensible way to solve this would be abolishing border security.

I'm pretty conservative and generally would agree with the treat everyone equal way. But in this case, it's an NBA team, they have a charter. Just expedite them through like the VIPs they are. They aren't terrorists


That service also exists. Either their teams didn't want to pay for it, or more likely, these guys were being held up at customs because they have records.
