MOUNT PLEASANT, Sanpete County Fousseyni Traore didn t grow up playing basketball from the time he was a toddler.
With a hefty dose of over-honesty, he admits he didn t like the sport when he was young, even.
The son of a coach who grew up in Bamako, the capital of Mali in West Africa, Traore played soccer all growing up. A center forward by trade, he loved scoring goals.
That s no surprise for Mali, whose national sport is soccer that rose to prominence when the West African country hosted the African Cup of Nations in 2002. Everyone in Bamako played soccer growing up, and Traore was no exception.
