Newly released video from an incident following the Toronto Raptors' championship win against the Golden State Warriors shows Deputy Alan Strickland was "undeniably the initial aggressor," according to attorneys representing Masai Ujiri. 

Ujiri had his credentials out, but Strickland tried to stop him and put out his arm to block his path. Strickland then pushes Ujiri in the chest as an onlooker grabs at his shoulder to calm him down. Strickland then pushes Ujiri a second time before Ujiri shoves the deputy back.

Strickland tells him to "back the f--- up," according to lawyers representing Ujiri.

“Why did you push me?” Ujiri asks. “I’m the president of the Raptors.”

The video and the testimony of several witnesses exonerate Ujiri.

Strickland filed a federal lawsuit against Ujiri, the Raptors, MLSE and the NBA.

In March, KTVU broke an exclusive story revealing that in 1994, Strickland was arrested and later convicted of insurance fraud, raising questions about his integrity, legal experts said.
