Ryan Wolstat: In release, Masai Ujiri adds: “It was Vince who inspired kids across Toronto and Canada, who got a basketball into their hands and inspired them to take flight, as he did so many times in our jersey. He helped us take the steps our franchise needed – a playoff win. A playoff series win. Capturing the attention of the world in an unbelievable dunk contest … Now, as we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we honour our past, and it’s fitting Vince’s iconic number 15 will hang as the first jersey in franchise history to be retired, high above the court where he captured our imaginations and helped us dream big.”
