NEWARK, N.J. — The pick-up courts in Queens don’t take any prisoners. Mo Dioubate learned that the hard way during his early basketball days on the mean streets of New York.

It’s where the Alabama forward’s blue-collar spirit was born.

ā€œIt gave me the dog mentality,ā€ Dioubate told Tide Illustrated last week. ā€œPlaying in the park every day, it builds character. When adversity hits, especially when you’re playing outside, you can’t run anywhere. You’ve got to stick and fight.ā€
