NBA: Fans beg NBA teams to recruit French basketball player Ho You Fat.

Published by: Kausarah Yusuf

Steeve Ho You Fat is winding down his basketball career, at the veteran age of 34. But that doesn't stop NBA fans from dreaming to see him retire in the United States. The reason is simple: his last name.
A clip online went viral of an ESPN announcer covering an exhibition game today between French LNB Pro A team Metropolitans 92 and the NBA G League Ignite. The exhibition took place in Henderson, Nevada. Scouts from all over were in attendance to watch 18-year old #1 Draft pick prospect Victor Wembanyama in action.

The announcer revelled in the chance to narrate a missed three-pointer by the man of the hour: "Ho You Fat with the three. That is that man's name, don't tweet at me."

But fans who watched the game were more impressed with veteran Ho You Fat than anything else and the jersey that bore his last name.

An amazing name, but mediocre stats in LNB Pro A

Steeve Ho You Fat was born in Cayenne, the capital of South American country French Guiana. He's a 6'6 power forward who has always played in France.

Sadly for NBA fans, Ho You Fat's statistics are too discreet to be a star in France, let alone the NBA. He has a career average of 2.7 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 0.3 steals.
