Arriving in Washington last June with the 7th pick of the 2023 Draft, Bilal Coulibaly seems to be acclimatizing well to American life. In any case, he is looked after at the Wizards by Jordan Poole, whom the Frenchman already sees as a mentor. That’s for the basketball court, because life in DC is… different from that in Paris.
Having Jordan Poole as a mentor. Said like that, it can raise doubts but in reality, we would certainly all dream of it. And this is the current life of Bilal Coulibaly. Since his arrival at the Wizards, the rookie winger can count on the former Warriors hothead, who has completely moved his name in the locker room to put it next to that of Bilal. The young Frenchman is measuring his luck and intends to use this privileged relationship with an NBA champion to progress as best as possible.
“Jordan Poole helps me a lot. He moved his name in the locker room to have his locker next to mine. We talk every day, he wants to learn French.” – Bilal Coulibaly
On the other hand, when it comes to acclimatization to Washington… it’s a little different. Caught in the speed of a life made up of training and matches in France, Bilal Coulibaly has still not passed his driving test. In Paris, it’s not so serious because Metro + RER + Tram, you can move wherever you want with a snap of your fingers and come on, let’s be stupid, apart from a few RATP incidents. On the other hand, in Washington, things are a little different. The city is twice as large and has much less public transport. Too bad for Bibi, who has to ask her teammates to take her everywhere. Being a rookie’s valet is pura vida after all.
But no ????
Bilal Coulibaly ???????? can’t move to Washington because he doesn’t have his LICENSE. His teammates come to pick him up by car and take him everywhere
He thought he could travel by metro like in France ????
Welcome to the USA Bilal!pic.twitter.com/GEYgqWKzTU
