Orlando Magic鈥檚 Mo Bamba is one of the most recognisable names in basketball, and not just because rapper Sheck Wes named his viral song after him.

He was born in New York City to parents who emigrated to the United States from Ivory Coast, and grandparents from Mali.

He joined Sportshour presenter Caroline Barker to discuss the importance of keeping in touch with his roots and developing basketball in the place he says feels like "home".
