it was! i just love him, he’s so totally unaffected and not at all a “tough guy”. Maybe because he’s Senagalese and not American, i don’t know. the gf also was not what you would expect a basketball stud’s gf to look like. She was very short, MaryLouRetton-esque almost, and looked athletic like that, fresh-faced and not one of the overly made up hussies.
I was guessing that with the name “Moussa” he probably wasn’t European.
