What if FC Barcelona had the future Victor Wembanyama in its ranks? We will have to wait until 2030 to find out since Mohamed Dabone was born in 2011, so he is only 12 years old! But this Burkinabé is already a phenomenon, and he proved it at the end of November by winning the MVP trophy of a U15 tournament in Spain.
In the final against Real Madrid, Barça's sworn enemy, the teenager accumulated 25 points, 14 rebounds, 6 blocks for an evaluation of 40. Facing him, the Real phenomenon, Mahamadou Landoure, MVP of the last Endesa Mini Cup. The most impressive, reports Marcais that Dabone achieved this performance against opponents who are between two and three years older than him.
This weekend, again, he finished MVP of the Ciutat de L'Hospitalet cadet tournament with a victory in the final against the neighbor, Joventut Badalona.
A precocity record in sight?
Arriving this summer from Burkina Faso, Dabone has already played in even higher categories, and he even played a junior match. Will we see him very quickly with the first team? In Spain, the precocity record has been held since 2021 by Bassala Bagayoko (Fuenlabrada).
Against Real Madrid, this Malian became the youngest player to make his debut in a Liga Endesa match. At 14 years, 7 months and 15 days, he beat Ricky Rubio's record (14 years, 11 months and 28 days), established in 2005 with Joventut Badalona.
Also arriving very early in Spain, Luka Doncic waited until he was 16 years and 2 days old to play for Real Madrid.
