The Raptors had a 2-1 week with satisfying wins over the Lakers and Knicks. But the most exciting news to come out of this week had nothing to do with basketball.
As we watched yesterday, Serge Ibaka released a teaser. This was not just any teaser, it was one in which he asked Kawhi Leonard if he’s going to stay in Toronto for next season. It was a captivating marketing campaign to say the least. So as we wait for that episode to come out, we can instead acknowledge some other good things about Ibaka — even though he missed all three of the Raptors’ games this week — such as his effective pick-and-roll defense.
