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.

  1. Champion power hits so different. Never forget this team cooking the Lakers in LA in 2020!

    😭 now we just got that lottery power

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. We would of definitely went B2B if Kawhi stayed… Nobody was going to stop us in the bubble, not even Lebron.

  5. Serge is my favorite Raptor man he was awesome such a class act and great guy funny as hell OG and Serge
