Sheriff's deputy drops lawsuit against Masai Ujiri from NBA Finals altercation
I'm guessing Ujiri could sue this loser and his entire supporting department into bankruptcy if he wished to, although I would not expect him to: this is a true class vs ass situation. I can see the Raptors at least filing to recoup legal costs.

If the barbs and spears of sports yakkers marveling at what Tom Brady has done and casting major shade at Belichick aren't enough, the Buccaneers had a raucous boat parade to celebrate their victory, flush with all the trappings of their lavish Sunshine State lifestyle.
The sleek yachts made the Boston Duck Boats look like frumpy arcade bumper cars by comparison, and of course it snowed all day yesterday and we're digging out today. A sober reminder of the weather we endured during past Patriots victory parades.
So yes, at the moment I guess we do feel like the wan, joyless man holding the pitchfork in Grant Wood's American Gothic, trapped in a grim winter mise en scene with an unfavorable Groundhog Day prediction looming over our collective sanity.
