From Nigeria to the NBA: The first African manager in elite US sport

History is being made in Johannesburg with the NBA hosting their first game in Africa at the Ellis Park Arena, but it's not just on the court that Africa is making an impact.
Nigeria's Masai Urjiri became the first African general manager in elite US sport when he took over the job of general manager for the Toronto Raptors in 2013, but it's been quite a journey to get to the top. He's been speaking to Sportsworld's Sarah Mulkerrins about his dream job.
