Mo Sylla 7-feet tall 245 pounds

Mohamed Sylla known as Mo Sylla always proved himself to be a powerful, aggressive,dominant and unstoppable basketball player on the court.

Mo stared playing basketball at 16 in his home town of Ivory coast located in west Africa and for just 4 short years he amassed enough skills and become a lead player in the USA college basketball level.

The following will be a video recorded by NBC-2 news after visiting the 7' at his Florida Southwestern State College.

Mo Sylla, a Freshman Florida Southwestern  basketball player, didn't generally realize playing basketball was a domain he could contend in — or even be prevailing in.  

 Mo played soccer sports out in a field more regularly than basketball on a court.

" Sylla said.  I wasn't in any way playing basketball. I was playing soccer." growing up.

Be that as it may, at 7-feet tall, it was most likely a short time before somebody would propose he attempt basketball skills. 

"I got an opportunity to go to a basketball camp in Angola," Sylla said. "I didn't have much idea on how to play basketball, however they welcomed me to the camp, so I resembled damn." 

The expression "ball is life" is a well known one among youthful American b-ball players, who have been playing their whole lives. Once more, experiencing childhood with the Ivory Coast, Sylla was still moderately new to basketball. It wasn't until four years prior, somebody saw Sylla's stature, and his pathway into the game started.

"I recollect the first occasion when I began playing ball; I didn't think nothing about it," Sylla said. "I had no aptitude, yet I was athletic, so it wasn't that difficult for me."

Sylla came up short on the touch that originates from playing basketball over an extensive stretch of time, so his offense endured. Be that as it may, as an athletic, 7-foot competitor, he was in a split second a power on resistance and on the sheets.

Eventually, Sylla popped up the FSW Buccaneers’ radar, and they were desperately in need of a big man.

“It was getting very late. We were kind of scrambling around, and Coach Eric Murphy, our head coach, got a call,” assistant coach Kente’ Hart said. “[Mohamed] fit all the bills of what we were looking for in a big man. He runs the floor really well, blocks shots, alters shots at the rim.”

In six games this season, Sylla leads the Bucs in blocks and 2nd in rebounding. That’s not bad for a kid who has only been able to say, “basketball is life.

“He definitely has a chance to be a really good player,” Hart said. “A mid-major, if not a high-major player, in the next two years.”

Sylla’s experience has been an important, driving lesson for himself about what he can achieve, and it’s something that can likely apply to others who set goals for themselves.

“Sometimes, I think about it. I say, ‘You’ve done all this in three or four years,” Mo reflected. “That means if you keep going hard, you can achieve more. You can do more. That’s kind of motivation for me.”
