https://youtu.be/EllWSa5ovlU If you know anything about me, you know that I hate being deceived by NBA players, and I hate making highlight videos under false pretenses. And both those things are EXACTLY what just happened to me. I am so filled with righteous fury that, by the time I’m done writing this description, there will…

https://youtu.be/J0XYns9X-NQ After scoring in double digits in just three games pre-“tradepocalypse”, Mo Bamba has scored in double digits 8 of the last 9 games and has set a new career high twice, first with nineteen points, and now with 21 points. This is the power of the Magic trading Nikola Vucevic and buying out Khem…

https://youtu.be/qQ1JHSIAGt0 Nikola Vucevic is now out of Orlando, and, finally, for the first time ever, Mo Bamba is being properly prioritized in the rotation. With few feasible big men on the roster, there really isn’t any choice for coach Clifford, but, still, it’s nice that Bamba is getting the type of consistent role that he…

Did anybody else besides me expect Mo Bamba to be a little bit…better? There was so much hype for him going into that draft last season. There was even a popular song based on him (a song which I have not yet heard, or if I have heard it I didn’t realize what I was…

I think the goal for Mo Bamba’s career should be to excel so well at one particular skill (dunking, blocking shots, shooting hook shots, hitting threes, etc.) that one could unironically describe his single-minded focus as him having the “Bamba Mentality”. The unironic part is important. I could say that Bamba has the Bamba Mentality…

It’s jumper time for Mo Bamba. I lost track of how many he made tonight. It’s gotta be less than 8, but not too much less. He was, dare I say, OWNING the ‘Zards with it. Dwight Howard, eat your heart out. You wish your shooting stroke was as smooth as Bamba’s. This single performance…

If the Magic want to avoid being stuck in 11th seed purgatory forever, they need Mo Bamba to turn into their next Shaq. Starting right now. There are other paths forward, but most of them are not feasible (praying for Giannis to come save you is not really a valid path), this one is the…

Description pending (ETA: when I finish getting some Chick Fil A) Alright, I’m typing this while eating Chick Fil A so if there are typos blame the zesty buffalo sauce I slathered all over my sandwich/fries/face. Also it’s gonna be a short one because everything is happening all at once right now. This is the…
