Magic Raise Money for Children at Annual OMYF Open
ORLANDO – After Mo Bamba was selected sixth overall in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic, one of the many things the 7-foot center was excited about at the start of his NBA journey was helping children throughout Central Florida reach their full potential.
As you might expect from someone who aspires to embolden kids, the 20-year-old wasted no time jumping into action by surprising youth at a Magic Youth Academy Basketball Camp in August. While walking them through drills on the court, Bamba relayed some very inspiring messages to all the children.
Now, three months since that event, the native of Harlem, N.Y. is even more eager and motivated to steer youth down promising paths.
