Serge Ibaka on friendship with OG and Kawhi, and his fondest moments with Raptors
Serge Ibaka finally joins the podcast to reflect on the Raptors’ 2019 championship run. He opens up about the pain of getting swept by Cleveland the year before (1:40), Nick Nurse’s impact, and adjusting to fewer minutes after the Marc Gasol trade (8:53). Serge shares his memory of Kawhi’s iconic Game 7 shot (15:00), thoughts on Kevin Durant’s Finals return (20:42), and why he believes Toronto could have won two more titles if Kawhi had stayed (27:17). He also revisits his favorite How Hungry Are You? moments (4:18), the magic of the 2019–20 Raptors, the story behind his legendary scarf (30:07), and gives his take on OG Anunoby’s newfound stardom in New York.

Champion Power > Heart of a Champion
That Kyle-Serge PnR was a thing of beauty.
My Fuzzy is forever our champion!!
Where was Will for this episode?!
at least 2 more and 1 if the pandemic didn't happen. if you know you know.
Champion power hits so different. Never forget this team cooking the Lakers in LA in 2020!
😭 now we just got that lottery power
Oh man, in Mafuzzi’s kitchen!
Serge is home.
💙
Another great interview! Serge is so awesome. Great person, great leader his defence and I think maybe the best clutch 3 point shooters in raptor history . The more we needed it the better chance he’d made it
Serge was a beast. Heart and Soul. Toronto loves u
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 smackin the shhhh outta himself 😂😂
Damn man Kawhi 🤦🏾♂️😓
It's sad to see. Kawhi could have been one of the greatest raptors and get 2 more rings ( Look at how Fred, Pascal, OG and Norm ) became top guys in the NBA. He really left all of it for the damn Clippers who are the JOKE of the NBA
😢❤
Man I love serge so much. My country man! Him & OG were my favs on the team.
Man that 2019 team will live with me forever. Life was peak.
he cracks me up
He cost you, me, and all of us 2 rings! hah
this such a good episode. the serge alex dynamic is so fucking good
We would of definitely went B2B if Kawhi stayed… Nobody was going to stop us in the bubble, not even Lebron.
Rolsan FTW
Serge is my favorite Raptor man he was awesome such a class act and great guy funny as hell OG and Serge
Hoping he makes alex eat some elk balls or something. How hungry are you?
Love the Alex and Serge chemistry! Serge man, you still the king of Toronto. Welcome home ❤
Interview of the millennium!
