Mbah a Moute defends his turf (232 clicks)
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is a prince.
Literally.
Back home in Cameroon, his father is an elected village chief, so he's got that going for him.
But this is why he is a prince in a basketball sense:
"The most important thing is defense," he said. "My main thing is to play defense."
A defense-first declaration from a Milwaukee Buck? And a rookie and a second-round pick at that?
Believe this, he plays NBA defense the way it is supposed to be played. He gets it, really gets it, after all of five games in the league.
