He said he doesn’t care if people call his actions disrespectful.
“Look at this,” he said as he pointed to the crowd behind the press area. “Don’t talk to me. Talk to these people. It’s about these people right here. It’s about the city. Aye, listen. We have the best player. We have the best fans in the whole NBA. In the whole world. Look around. Look around you. Look at this. We created this. This didn’t exist before we were here.”
“Look around the square,” he continued. “I promise you right now, we did this. It doesn’t matter what anybody says. They can say it’s disrespectful. They can say it’s this and that. Everybody’s within the rules. Everybody’s doing their thing. All we are is proud and passionate. We are like a Toronto sports team. The Toronto Raptors are a college sports team, I promise you. I love Toronto. I love this team. And we’re going to the NBA Finals. Let’s go!” He then gave the camera a stank face as he was walking off with his excited crew.
