Kenya Basketball team made the country proud. The gvmt should invest a little more in the sport

[imfitnesstvtraining]

His passion just woke up a lot of Africa🙌🏾

[balllifeafrica]

We are a community based organization providing basketball and lifeskills programs to youth in Kenya. We are grateful to have Masai Ujiri address some of the challenges we face everyday. As an organization we strvie to offer the best basketball training to youth, however the challenge of facilities and funding is insurmountable. Hosting tournaments is a struggle, in some places we have to pay upwards of ksh 15000 per day or higher to rent a basketball court, which is unsustainable. We hope that this interview will reach leaders and inspire them to invest in Kenyan youth & sports.

Hopefully Masai Ujiri gets Giannis to Toronto in 2021

Shame on Nigeria, this is a proud son of the soil that has achieved such a great feat and deserves to be celebrated, but the Nigerian government would rather honour nitwits

[chadddly]

Much RESPECT ✊ Masai Ujiri . Such a smart and humble guy. So glad you’re President of our Toronto Raptors. AFRICA has to step up and make Sports an option for your young youth. LISTEN to Masai he knows what he’s talking YOU DID NEED MASAI TO WAKE UP THE MASSES!!! Good Job 👍🏻 man.
