As a number of NBA players followed suit by bringing their children to the post-game media availability sessions, the trend has arrived in Europe.
France had just beaten New Zealand at the 2016 FIBA Women’s Qualifying Tournament (WOQT) Group A and Isabelle Yacoubou had been terrific leading the Les Bleus at both ends of the floor.
As the 1.90m addressed the media in the post-game press conference, her son Espoir (French word for 'hope') made sure to introduce himself to the world. Just like Riley stole the show, young Espoir took over the presser while France's head Valerie Garnier and her mother addressed the media.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you Espoir.
