Timeline

1998

Mohamed Fakaba Bamba (born May 12, 1998), known as Mo Bamba, is an American-Ivorian professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

He played college basketball for the Texas Longhorns.

He was highly regarded by scouts due to his 7ft 10in wingspan.

Bamba was born on May 12, 1998, in Harlem, New York to Lancine Bamba and Aminata Johnson, who both emigrated from the Ivory Coast.

Bamba's grandparents were born and brought up in present day Mali.

His older brother, Sidiki Johnson, played college basketball at Arizona, Providence, and Wabash Valley.

Another member of his family, estranged brother Ibrahim Johnson, also played college basketball at multiple universities, including both Farmingdale State and Montevallo.

Bamba first became interested in basketball at age six, inspired by the game's popularity in his hometown.

In eighth and ninth grade, Bamba attended Cardigan Mountain School, an all-boys boarding school in Canaan, New Hampshire.

After graduating from Cardigan, Bamba went on to Westtown School in Westtown, Pennsylvania.

As a junior he averaged 14 points, 11 rebounds, and six blocks per game.

2004

At a private workout, Bamba reportedly ran faster than most of the NBA, including MVP Russell Westbrook, since he had a 3.04 3/4 court sprint.

Bamba refused to work out with the Memphis Grizzlies before the draft, and told them not to draft him.

2017

Bamba was rated as a five-star recruit and was ranked among the top recruits in his class.

His final four schools were Kentucky, Duke, Texas and Michigan.

Ultimately, Bamba chose to play for the University of Texas for his college career.

Before playing a single game for Texas, his half-brother Ibrahim Johnson posted a 22-minute-long video on Facebook Live, talking about how there were some illegal benefits from a Michigan-based investor involved during the decision-making and that he was reporting the information to the NCAA.

However, the NCAA reported that nothing involved there would ultimately affect Bamba's eligibility for his freshman season.

Bamba made his official college debut on November 10, 2017, against Northwestern State, recording 15 points and eight rebounds in a blowout win that night.

On February 17, Bamba would record a new career-high of 18 rebounds with 10 points scored in a 77–66 win over #23 ranked Oklahoma, five days after tying his previous career-high of 16 rebounds with 16 points in a close 74–73 double overtime loss to Baylor.

At the end of the regular season for Texas, Bamba was named a member of the Big 12's All-Newcomer Team and All-Defensive Team, as well as be named a member of the All-Big 12 Second Team.

He averaged 12.9 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game.

Following Texas's loss in the 2018 NCAA men's basketball tournament to Nevada, Bamba announced his intention to forgo his final three seasons of collegiate eligibility and declare for the 2018 NBA draft, where he was expected to be a lottery selection.
