The Orlando Magic just drafted talented center Mo Bamba with their sixth pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. The shocker came when Trae Young and Luka Doncic were traded for one another between the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks. Bamba is expected to have a solid NBA career, but it'll be a tough start for him starting out in Orlando, a city that hasn't developed talent very well over the last couple of years and also hasn't shown much improvement as an organization.
On Saturday morning, Milwaukee Bucks' star Giannis Antetokounmpo hosted an Instagram live video, where one fan asked him “Is Mo better than you?”
Giannis' initial response was, “Who is Mo?” He asked someone off camera and after a couple seconds he was said they could be referring to Mo Bamba of the Orlando Magic. Here's his reaction to the question.
Giannis Antetokounmpo on IG Live: “‘Do you think Mo is better than you?’ Who the hell is Mo? M-O?”
Off camera: Are they talking about Mo Bamba?

Antetokounmpo did go on to praise the Magic center for being a smart and talented guy who will have a good career, but again added that he's not better than him.
Antetokounmpo just finished his fifth season in the NBA at 23 years of age, averaging 26.9 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game on 52.9 percent shooting from the field. In 30 games with Texas, Bamba averaged 12.9 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.7 blocks per game on 54.1 percent shooting from the field.
