Oakland Alameda police embarrassing themselves with battery charge against Raptors' Masai Ujiri

Imagine if when the Celtics won the NBA championship in 2008, local police ruined the moment and wouldn't allow the architect of the team, Danny Ainge on the court to celebrate? That happened in Oakland last night when police refused to allow Masai Ujiri on the court.

The Alameda County Sheriff's Office is investigating Toronto Raptors president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri for suspicion of misdemeanor battery on a police officer, it confirmed Friday morning.

The alleged incident occurred Thursday night on the floor at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, after the Raptors beat the Golden State Warriors to win the NBA title and Ujiri tried to join the team on the floor.
