Men's Basketball: How Matisse Thybulle carries his mother's memory with him 

I watched his vlog. Didn't know who he was until then. Humble guy.

I wish this young man the best in everything he does. Play for your mom kid.

Now Matisse is playing in the Olympics for Australia, he's fast become a favourite for Australian hoops fans. Looking at his background shown in this video, you can see where he gets his character from and why he fits in so well on this Boomers team. No ego, plays hard, and just a good guy.

Australia is so very honored that Matisse accepted the offer to be a Boomer. He was instrumental in Australia winning its first mens Olympic Basketball medal.

Watching this the day after Matisse had the game of his life shutting down Doncic and helping Australia finally win an Olympic medal after 65 years. His mother would have been incredibly proud!

I had to stop the video half way through to get myself together.

Nothing is more painful than the death of your mother. I applaud this kid for reaching his dream I’m sure he’s making his Mom proud as she watches over him.

Seeing this plus his vlogs, I’m 100 percent rooting for him so much more

young scottie pippen ....we welcome your humble spirit to philadelphia.

Okay Matisse! You beautiful BRONZE MEDAL BOOMER!! 🥉Australia is so proud mate. Your commitment to defence back in college helped us get that medal last night... steals to flying dunks! I hope you feel the boomer family love. You're Australian now and always. ❤💚💛

Wow! What a story. Congratulations Matisse on winning Bronze at the Tokyo Olympics for Australia. Your mum would be so proud of you! Also he is going to win the NBA defensive player of the year award very soon. He is elite!!

His dad sounds like such a sweet guy, I’m rooting for Matisse

Just watched him play for Australia at the Olympics. His massive dunk at the end of the 2nd Quarter was unbelievable. This kid can play ball

Great kid, great family, proud for him that he's representing Australia

When I tell you we love this kid in Philly. We absolutely LOVE him. You'd be happy for your child to be just like him.

This is beautiful, had me in tears.. May God continue to bless this young man and his family 💜💜💜

Who else came from his vlogs during quarentine on the nba bubble

My mom passed when I was 17 he is now one of my favorite players!

He is such a lovable guy. As an Aussie and a 76ers fan I couldn't admire and support Matisse more than I do. Big things ahead. What an amazing family huh.

Cancer took away 3 of my family members in the past couple of years and I understand what a person or a family goes through when someone close to them is taken away because of cancer

Whether Christian or not this young man is the result of deliberate moral training, his character is as high as his athletic ceiling, no actually higher.

His vlog got me here. And after watching this, I will now surely follow his journey. Now one of my favorites. Good face and a good heart. He seems to be a sweet son. Not to forget, I think his father is also a kind hearted man.

Love this guy and he got so many more supporters playing with Australia his attitude is amazing and deserves the best

matisses smile can cure all depression

Can tell the guy has a good head on his shoulders... proud to see him play for Australia

So glad this legend playing for Australia doing us proud congrats on the bronze medal after long time love you 😍🏀

Yeah.. I cried. What a great kid. Good luck.

Man i love how Matisse is always smiling and is cheerful all the time despite what happened to him .

My mother died 3 years ago and not a day goes by that I don't think of her. This video touch my heart very moving. I live my life wanting her to be proud of me . I hope that she is !💔

When the new Sixer's president was talking about trading Matisse, we raised the atmosphere and fire rained down !! Philly ❤ Matisse. Your mother is looking down and proud of you.🕊

Such a humble and professional athlete. A true Husky.

Damn who's cutting onions.

damn that picture of Matisse and his sister with teary eyes after the game...so sad

We in philly are blessed to have such a great inspiration.

He’s so well spoken. Stay humble n I wish you well in life n everything you do

This kid is really a very special person. Glad I live in Philly so I can root for him. What a story.

This guys going to help the Aussie boomers get an Olympic gold medal. God bless you son and your mom is so proud of you sport. Be great

Onya mate! What a wonderful man and great role model. His mum would be so proud of his Olympic bronze medal as all of Australia is!

HE BECOMING BIG ON THE COURT AND OFF!! GOOD STUFF MATTISE!

This rookie is fearless and, I love the effort and tenacity he brings on defense, your Mom is very proud of you. Philadelphia has your back👍

Seem like a well rounded and artistic dude... Not your typical round of the mill jock. His mother should be proud, raised a fine young man.

Love having Matisse as a member of the Boomers. He's got a great future as a basketballer and a photographer/vlogger. Bring home the gold #socks

First time I have seen him interviewed. How can you not be proud to have this guy represent our team and city? What an amazing standup guy! Can’t wait to see him get to the final four! I am a Matisse fan!!!

As a sixers fan i just want to see Matisse grow and develop as a player and succeed

Everybody has a STORY he’s truly BLESSED to have his mom WATCHING over him. God BLESS you young man! God has a PLAN for your LIFE.

His great personality is legit!

Don't worry about the other Aussie guy in philly. Matisse is the real deal He has real heart

Great story, love him playing for Aussie Boomers he is the real deal!

Welcome to Philly!!!!

Man his story is truly inspiring and beautiful! I can’t wait to grab one of his jerseys when he’s in the league

I just got reccomended this right after watchting all his vlogs. Hes a really good guy

Omg I just bout almost cried watching this interview 😭😭

Please tell me who disliked this video… Matisse Thybulle you a future kawhi Leonard but even better your Matisse… keep doing what your doing trust me your gonna be a Hall of Famer👍

And now at just 24 years old, he's one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.

Wow, I didn’t know that part of his story 😢 I must say, we absolutely love having this kid in Philadelphia. This being the tough-scrabble, blue collar town it is; hard work and toughness are virtues to be extolled, and he has them in spades. Can’t give enough due respect to his parents/family for raising such a good kid. Hope he plays his whole career here. #22 Matty The Bull!

So much more respect for him now,not that I didn't before, I support the Celtics,but I will secretly cheer him on now.

This just made me realise how much my mom does for me

Helped clamped down Luka, Olympic Bronze medal Tisse 💚💛 🥉 💚💛 👏👏

Matisse is one of my favorite artists. And Matisse Thybulle. I just love watching him play.
