He was robbed in 2011-2014 for DPOY. Ben Wallace, Mutumbo and Olajuwon all acknowledged Ibaka should have won it at least once those years. In 2017 Ibaka was asked why he transitioned primarily to a shooter after impressive defensive years...2-time runner up to DPOY and 4 time All NBA First Defensive Team (only Kawhi and few guys have such impressive defensive resume), he said it was lack of appreciation for not getting the DPOY after putting the best of his years those 4 years. He said it makes no sense doing the same, putting in all that effort jumping that high over 10 times a game and not being appreciated, wasn't worth it for his health and longevity in the league. He decided to focus on his all-round game, which actually was the right decision then, giving he is an excellent two-way player now.

Nah

I’ll never forget Serge as I always targeted him in my fantasy drafts from 2012-2014. That man alone carried my blocks categories in the head-to-head matchups. Also was very high field goal percentage player before he fell in love with jumpers. The people who never got to see Serge in his prime with OKC could not understand why at the time the organization chose to keep him over Harden. Serge was special back then. Great edit as usual. 👍

He still special now... highly impactful against the warriors, not only is he still a great shot blocker but he’s mobile enough to keep up with the guards... I think those down years with trash ass Orlando had him off the radar but he’s back and has really contributed a lot to the raptors, I’m happy for him unlike harden and Durant he actually deserves a fucking ring

Most underrated defensive player of all time.

biyombo or jrue holiday defensive highlight?

Serge Ibaka is one of the most underrated rim protectors this league has seen. Timing, Strength, jump recovery time, just everything you need

This man deserves DPOY

Jamal Crawford superb separation

I still don’t understand why OKC didn’t at least 1 championship that’s unreal

My goodness he was such a beast for that stretch of time. At least he still has some of that level of tenacity right now.

I miss watching this so much

Ibaka one of the best bloker in NBA !

He was a block maniac when he was on OKC. It was so entertaining to watch him play defense in his prime.

Serge is my all time favorite players ahead of goran Dragic

I love your work. Really. Can you make one for mr j crossover Jamal crawford ??

Corey Cousins Lebron Kobe Deron Duncan These people got nightmares from Iblocka

i forgot how excited this used to get me

One of my favorite nba player because of his shot blocking ability

You listened to the comments 😍

Yes he become the Serge Iblocka he was

Hey, could you do a defensive highlight of George Hill? :)

Also request if possible for Carmelo Anthony - Quick Second Step. Melo had a knack of grabbing his own misses in the post and putting them back in right away. I’ve never seen anyone else so talented in getting their own misses and recovering them. Please compile this if possible!

Jrue Holiday defense or a 2019 PG13 super separation

I wonder if anyone rembers when they used to call him serge iblocka back in his day
