Paris-born forward Moussa Diabaté played one season at Michigan before the LA Clippers took him 43rd overall in the 2022 NBA Draft. After two seasons on two-way deals in Los Angeles, he joined the Charlotte Hornets in 2024 and won the 2025-26 NBA Hustle Award. On court he has been seen in the Nike Kobe 5 Protro “Indiana Fever,” and Kobe models have been his most-worn shoes.
