Mohamed Dabone stands out in European basketball at just 12 years old [EN/PT-BR]

English Version

This Sunday, Barcelona beat Real Madrid and won the Minicopa Endesa 2024 by a score of 89 to 78, breaking with the hegemony of the Madrid club, which was playing in its 12th consecutive final and had won nine of the last ten Minicups.

It's not common for a children's competition to make headlines in sports media around the world, but it's not every day that a 12-year-old boy, 6'10 tall, dominates the game like Mohamed Dabone did.

Born on October 21, 2011, in Burkina Faso, the young player was chosen as the tournament's MVP with averages of 18.3 points, 35 of 41 on two-point shots, 85.3% success rate, 13.5 rebounds and 4.3 blocks in just 16 minutes and 37 seconds per game.

In his performance during the final against Real Madrid, the numbers were even more impressive with 22 points, 11 of 12 on two-point shots, 91.67% success, 26 rebounds, 19 of which were defensive and 7 offensive, 6 blocked shots, 5 steals and 2 assists.

Dabone's athleticism draws attention, which is very reminiscent of that of Giannis Antetokounmpo, a naturalized Greek Nigerian who won the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks. In addition, of course, to his height for his age, as he surpassed 6'10 in height as a child.

He still has a long way to go before he becomes a professional player, but what we've seen so far is a force of nature who has everything it takes to make history for Barcelona in the coming years and perhaps for the NBA in the next decade.

Thank you very much for reading and see you next time!

Neste domingo, o Barcelona venceu o Real Madrid e conquistou a Minicopa Endesa 2024 pelo placar de 89 a 78, rompendo com a hegemonia do clube madrilenho, que disputava sua 12ª final consecutiva e haviam ganho nove das dez últimas Minicopas.

Não é comum uma competição infantil ganhar as manchetes da mídia esportiva ao redor do mundo, mas não é todo dia que um menino de apenas 12 anos, com 2,08 metros de altura, domina o jogo como o fez Mohamed Dabone.

Nascido em 21/10/2011, em Burkina Faso, o jovem jogador foi escolhido o MVP do torneio com médias de 18,3 pontos, 35 de 41 nos arremessos de dois pontos, 85,3% de aproveitamento, 13,5 rebotes e 4,3 tocos em apenas 16 minutos e 37 segundos por partida.

Na atuação durante a final contra o Real Madrid, os números foram ainda mais impressionantes com 22 pontos, 11 de 12 nos arremessos de dois pontos, 91,67% de aproveitamento, 26 rebotes, sendo 19 defensivos e 7 ofensivos, 6 tocos, 5 roubos de bola e 2 assistências.

Chama a atenção o atleticismo de Dabone, que lembra muito o de Giannis Antetokounmpo, nigeriano naturalizado grego campeão da NBA pelo Milwaukee Bucks. Além, é claro, da sua altura para a sua idade, já que superou os dois metros de altura ainda na infância.

Ainda tem um longo caminho até se tornar um jogador profissional, mas o que vimos até aqui é uma força da natureza que tem tudo para fazer história pelo Barcelona nos próximos anos e quem sabe pela NBA na próxima década.

Muito obrigado pela leitura e até a próxima!
