00:00The Toronto Raptors organization has put the rest of the NBA on notice.
00:05They're one of the NBA's foremost advocates of the Black Lives Matter movement,
00:09supporting their players with everything from their Black Lives Matter bus decal to just having their executives inside the bubble,
00:16providing players with whatever kind of support they need.
00:18I think that's our NBA notices, what the Raptors have been doing so far as the Black Lives Matter movement.
00:25They're one of, if not the only team in the league to have both of their top executives in Orlando.
00:31And that kind of commitment hasn't gone unnoticed by Raptors players.
00:35They're really committed, you know, to the organization.
00:37I mean, that goes without saying, but I'm committed to what we're doing.
00:41You know, they're very active in talking to us and making sure that we're good mentally or if we need anything, you know, in terms of the movement and going forward, how we're going to get our message out.
00:53We've preached that it's a family organization and you can really tell.
00:57For Masayu Juri and Bobby Webster, the decision to quarantine with the team was a simple one.
01:02Webster said he expects the team to be down there for a while, and he wanted the players to know that they're all in this together.
01:09They know that, you know, they obviously have our full support, but just experiencing this with them, I think, is invaluable.
01:16It's all those little things that are truly setting the Raptors apart from the rest of the NBA.
