He has one of the best seats in the house.

Nine rows up, behind the home team’s bench. HIS home team’s bench.

That’s where Bobby Webster will be watching today in Scotiabank Arena when the Toronto Raptors make their NBA Finals debut against the defending champion Golden State Warriors. The 34-year-old ‘Iolani School graduate remains the youngest general manager in the league two years after being hired by the NBA’s lone Canadian franchise.

“It’s always a dream to be in this situation,” Webster said in a telephone call Wednesday. “For us, it’s not a ‘just happy to be here.’ We’re in this business to win it.

“It’s exciting but challenging. From what we’ve been to be at this point and be against Golden State and where they’ve been.”

The Warriors have won three of the past four league titles, all four Finals matchups coming against Cleveland.

Scheduled concerts at Toronto’s 19,000-seat arena — including one by country music star Carrie Underwood — had to be canceled or postponed to accommodate the somewhat unexpected need by the Raptors. Still, the NBA show headlined by superfan Drake is expected to be rocking today and Sunday for the first two games of the series.

Webster said he finally took a breath this week to enjoy what’s been happening.

“The first three (playoff series) were not that enjoyable,” he said. “It was about the next game. We’ve had a few days to reflect on the journey. This franchise is relatively young and we’ve been experiencing a freshness, a newness together that other older established teams don’t have because they’ve been there before. The city has a college-town feel.

“It’s a little like Hawaii where all of Hawaii cheers for all of Hawaii. All of Canada is cheering for us.”

The Raptors took a gamble on Webster in 2017, a few months before they split two preseason games with the L.A. Clippers at the Stan Sheriff Center. Webster was then one of the gamblers last offseason, hiring Nick Nurse as head coach and swinging a trade with San Antonio that sent DeMar DeRozan to the Spurs and brought Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to become part of “We The North.”

“That’s the job, hiring and trades,” Webster said. “There’s always a bit of the unknown. We think long and hard about these decisions.”

The one to hire former University of Hawaii guard Phil Handy, however, fell into place quickly. There was Handy’s connection with Nurse, his former coach in the British Basketball League, and there was the “Hawaii Connection.”

Webster told Handy he had watched him during his Rainbow Warrior career (1993-95) and “now he’s my boss,” Handy said.

“I had known Phil for a while and it’s cool to be able to talk about Hawaii, make jokes that only we understand,” Webster said. “We’ve talked about doing an NBA thing in Hawaii. We hope we can make things happen.”

Part of Hawaii will be coming to Webster when the series switches to Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., next week. Webster said he has a group of about 15 friends with whom he grew up attending Games 3 and 4, a group that includes his former ‘Iolani basketball coach Mark Mugiishi.

Where will Webster be sitting?

“The home team decides that,” he said. “But we get pretty good seats.”
