Feels good to hear that voice again.

Best of luck Masai! I'll always be a fan.

Classy comments, nice to hear. He had a wonderful run with us, and we with him.

Above all from being a great basketball mind...he is genuinely good person. This is what I will miss the most from the Raptors under Masai's leadership.

Exactly what a leader should look like, what a contrast when he talks vs. someone like Pelley.

That’s what passion and legacy looks like.

Masai always displayed his affection for this country, the city and the franchise every time he spoke. Not many leaders do that! I will miss the pure, raw passion!

He helped to give us something few ever thought possible, a Championship. And just remember this:

18 years without Masai: .573 was our best winning%

12 years WITH Masai, 8 years had a winning% of more than .585.

Bobby or whoever next has big shoes to fill.

Did a lot for the Raptors, winning all these years.
Though, I am not a fan of the last few years trying to make a home run trade, because that never happened. Maybe due to ownership.
Perhaps it is good for a fresh start, maybe hopefully he can come back to the Raptors.

Masai: I actually despise Africa, Toronto is too cold, taxes too high, Rogers telecommunications is a technological oligarchy, and the Maple Leafs suck.

He’s too classy for that though. Wish him well wherever he goes. Rough 5 last years but is a great for dragging us out of the NBA cesspool.

A class act all the way.

Everyone remember this, because if you were a fan since 2019, that was probably the all time high point for this franchise.

If anyone is getting a statue built in front of the stadium, it should be Masai. GOAT all the way!
