Mohamed Bamba shows he won’t back down in preseason debut
Mohamed Bamba got muscled around a bit in his Orlando Magic preseason debut. But he also showed he won’t back down and will keep attacking.
It was hardly clean. Mohamed Bamba rolled to the rim, leaving Dario Saric behind him and saw an open lane in front of him. The only person between him and the basket was Joel Embiid rotating over to stop him.
Bamba was not giving up the opportunity to show up his friend.
The result was. . . it was not quite a dunk. It was not quite much of anything.
Bamba took off and Embiid met him, getting a hand on the ball. But Bamba had the strength to muscle the ball into the basket. It was two points but a statement too.
