Orlando Magic rookie Mo Bamba tallied 111 blocks in his last collegiate season with Texas, including a season-high eight against Kansas in late 2017.

Simply put, Bamba was a prolific shot blocker in college and has the chance to do the same in the NBA.

On Wednesday, Bamba had probably the easiest block attempt he’ll face all season during the Magic’s youth academy baseball camp.

Posted to Twitter, a 5-second video shows Bamba blocking the young fan’s attempted shot.

The caption read, “Sorry kid! (Bamba) ‘greets’ a youngster at the Magic Youth Academy Basketball Camp presented by @UHC this afternoon.”
