Serge Ibaka Discusses His Current Value For NBA Teams


Serge Ibaka currently isn’t part of any NBA team.
Just a few seasons ago, Ibaka was a member of the championship Toronto Raptors team but now he is looking for a new home in the league.
The 14-year veteran says that he has a lot he can bring to any team that offers him a chance.
“I’ve been in the game for a long time,” Ibaka told Shams Charania.
He added that his time with the Raptors has given him a “championship mentality” that will greatly help any team in the league.

During his career, the big man has averaged 12 points and 7.1 rebounds a game.
He is not only a one-time champion but also a two-time blocks champ and has been a member of the All-Defensive Team three times since joining the league in 2009.
After getting his start with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Ibaka found even more success during his years with the Raptors.
It was there that he made the biggest impact, including when they secured that championship ring.
Since then, he has seen his time on the court – and his output – diminish.
He played briefly for the Milwaukee Bucks but that relationship soured in January and he’s been out of the league ever since.
But he does have plenty of experience and he has been a pivotal part of a championship team.
Both of those things can be worth a lot in the league.
Does that mean it’s just a matter of time before Ibaka finds a new place to play?
