Serge Ibaka shouts out Raptors, calls city of Toronto “home”

Former Toronto Raptors center Serge Ibaka seems to be aware of the fact that the end of his basketball career is rapidly approaching. After playing just 16 games for the Milwaukee Bucks and averaging 4.1 points per game, he is starting to get nostalgic when discussing his career as a whole.

While Ibaka played seven seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder and led the league in blocks twice, many fans’ most vibrant memories of him are as a key big man on the Toronto Raptors. After coming to town following the Terrence Ross trade, Ibaka became a perfect role player for what Nick Nurse needed.
