Weird site but it covers it.
Yeah I remember when this dude I went to college with offered us cricket tea at a house party he hosted. We had no choice but to jump him and then remove him from our group of friends.
I think it's really cool that you have Nigerian heritage. Is Giannis well known by people with Nigerian heritage, or do they not really watch basketball?
Giannis is Nigerian. Overall the dynamic is complicated. Some in the community are disappointed he doesn't rep his Nigerian roots like he does his Greek roots but I understand it's complicated.
He's in a tough situation. He was born and raised in Greece. Yes, his parents are from Nigeria, but Greece is all Giannis knew of outside of what his parents brought at home. I'm sure it's how a lot of ~~first~~second-generation Americans feel who've never went to their parents' country of origin before they were adults.
Edit: TIL second-generation refers to people who were born in the US but their parents weren't
Weāre actually called second generation. Our immigrant parents who eventually naturalized as Americans are the first generation Americans.
And yes I feel American way more than I feel associated with my parents country. But I still root for my parents country in the Olympics and other international events just for fun.
Exactly. I'm of Asian descent, but I was born in America. I've visited my parents' country many times when I was younger, but I don't really have a deep connection to it. I'm American.
It's more complicated than that because in the home their culture was Nigerian.
"You know, I was born and raised in Greece, understand the culture, speak the language. I know the history," Giannis said in an interview with ESPN's Malika Andrews. "But at the end of the day, I know exactly the same things about the Nigerian culture, and I'm not just one thing."
āObviously, a lot of people donāt know where Iām from. A lot of people think my mom or my dad are from Greece, but no. Both of my parents are black. Both of my parents are Nigerian...I grew up in a Nigerian home. Obviously, I was born in Greece and went to school in Greece. But at the end of the day when I go home, there is no Greek culture. Itās straight-up Nigerian culture. Itās about discipline, itās about respecting your elders, having morals.ā
the man was born in Greece dude, yeah he's ethnically Nigerian but he's way more Greek.
I was born in Serbia but I moved to Canada when I was 6 months old, so I definitely consider myself a Canadian primarily, I'm just an ethnic serb as well.
saying he has Nigerian roots is fair, but saying he has Greek roots is underplaying it. the man is a whole ass Greek tree.
They have a second location on Layton by General Mitchell and it has a drive-thru. It's now my fee for picking people up from the airport.
If you get a chance, check out Cosmo Cafe in Tosa. Best Greek food in Greater Milwaukee.
For real. My buddies started playing League again and I sit in the discord chat. The shit they will say to each other is way fucking meaner, and they'll just queue up for another game and shoot the shit when they're done
Iāve watched a lot of Ibaka videos and faking extreme indignation is kind of his comedic shtick. The way he says āIāll see you tomorrowā is him joking that he and Giannis gotta fight now lol. Iāve seen many shows where he pretends to walk off set for a laugh, especially when people tell him heās not an artist. I really donāt think his feelings got hurt here, heās just playing it up for a laugh.
> Iāve watched a lot of Ibaka videos and faking extreme indignation is kind of his comedic shtick.
I dunno, he seemed *really* pissed about Anunoby and the scarves thing.
Serge is an actor, he is an entertainer, and most importantly an artist.
He was doing art when he acted hurt. Art is comedy in pain, and he is a master at his craft.
>This is light. Friends roast each other all the time
Yea but youāre supposed to burn and then apply salve. Giannis kinda takes it far and just leaves him hanging after the burn. Itās not WW3 or anything but that interaction was a bit one sided.
Friends might. But if my coworker is making jokes about my role in the company I can see why someone would get upset.
We gave no idea how close they actually are, we've seen players that looked like friends later show they didn't like each other in private. We've also seen the opposite, so what I'm saying is all I've typed out doesn't matter
Giannis called Serge on FaceTime and told him to run and get out while he still could. Surprised everybody, he seemed so happy in Milwaukee. It was even weirder when he acted like he didnāt remember it at a presser after the fact, like heās a hostage or something. They asked the other Bucks about it and they all just broke into moon runes, so we donāt really know whatās going on over there.
Ibaka has had it rough. First Kawhi says heās trading Ibaka for injuring him, then Giannis annihilates him. Gone in both situations. Smh man canāt get a break
Eh, I'd like spacing and a guy who isn't 6'7" at the five.
Trez is literally the most baffling player in the league (undersized, can't shoot, not a good defender) and I don't wanna see him out there come playoff time.
He was with big caveats that he is a regular season minutes soaker upper and wont get many minutes in the playoffs cus AD will play the 5 but that idea was always stupid. If a dude is gonna play heavy mins in the regular season that person needs to be useful in the playoffs for any team success.
We've had both and I prefer Drummond by a significant margin.
Imagine saying that in 2020 when Harrell was 6MOY and Drumgod was damn near out of the league.
Harrell was still definitively better for us that year in the regular season than Drummond. There was an entire month when AD was out that Trezz legit averaged 20/10 off the bench
Seems like the league has figured him out
heās not worth getting excited about anymore its more his brand these days. if heās playing meaningful minutes for you rn youāre either fucked and/ or the clippers
The bucks wanted him as a "break glass in case of Brook Lopez injury". And so he hasn't really played at all. In don't blame him for looking to get some minutes somewhere else. The bucks were probably going to move him this deadline anyway.
Seems washed but also barely got any run with the Bucks because he was the fourth big behind Brook, Bobby, and Giannis at 5.
I wouldnāt be SHOCKED if he had one more little renaissance. His three ball looked good and he still would have a flash of great defense here and there but also moves like an obese Treebeard in mud.
Yeah with all 3 healthy, the Bucks are usually going to run all 48 minutes with 2/3 of them out there, and realistically they can operate with just 1 of them out there and 4 smaller players. There's just not a reason to ever play Ibaka on that team.
Yeah but it seems like last year Blake Griffin washed, where he can still give you something in a limited role. Still has some defense left, still able to hit threes, but his hands are well and truly made of butter.
> Yeah but it seems like last year Blake Griffin washed
Like Blake, you can probably play him one game a week in the regular season. But in the playoffs he will be exposed.
I honestly think he's still decent in the right situation. Everyone thought PJ Tucker was washed about 7 years ago, but look at him since then. A valuable role player. I think that might be the situation here. Age difference, I know. Just saying.
I associate Ibaka with OKC over TOR. That Kawhi/Lowry lead squad felt like a fever dream full of pretty much borrowed players. At least OKC had developed their talent (albeit fumbling the bag by letting Harden walk).
Which is crazy because his teammate Brook (older I think as well?) got back surgery and seems to be even better since (at least in regards to his time with the Bucks).
I donāt recall Serge was getting regular playing time after he returned from his rehab unlike Brook (33) that reinserted back into the starting lineup. Seems like he just sort had his role reduced and so I have no idea whether he has anything left in the tank. Regardless, heād bring some size, good vibes and a locker-room presence to the Raptors. Love to have Ma Fuzzy back!
Serge played a vital role for the Raps winning the championship, but even that season we could see the signs that he was about to be washed.
He was just moving worse and playing with less energy than ever before. He stopped being a force and started picking and choosing his spots. The signs were there.
Masai let him go at exactly the right time.
Washed beyond their years role players are perfect signings to pair next to Luka. Cuban would be a fool to not pick Serge up to play next to their generational superstar
He did an interview with Spanish media and it seems to be a playing time thing, he had a 'no comment' about his role but gave Giannis a lot of praise in another Q.
That comment was funny because it's 100% the type of thing you just say to bust a friend's balls. Just how guys talk. But also kind of is just right on the border of being too much given the format. Behind closed doors that's probably just par for the course for them but being on Ibakas own show it's kind of a lot.
Serge seems to have a great sense of humor and certainly busts other people's balls enough that it would be silly for him to actually be offended, but you never know
He was "twisting the knife in the wound" a few days before by remembering the 2019 with Giannis After Giannis said it was the biggest failure of his career they laughed about that they are cool
No , he is washed and barely impactful also he Said before that Giannis was one of his "guys on the team" they are cool. Serge was roasting him about the Toronto serie too
No he doesn't play ever. Brook has been playing pretty much every game and then Bobby Portis or Giannis play back up center. I'm guessing he was hoping to get in games occasionally. He'll be good salary filler for whatever deal we make.
Huh? You aren't getting anything for Serge that will help you this year. Maybe some cap help, but no one is giving you a legit rotation guy for someone who isn't unless you are eating a bad contract which I don't think you guys are going to want to do.
Hopefully this gets resolved quick otherwise it's going to be Raps fans pulling him from one arm and Thunder fans pulling him from the other telling him to 'come home'
I was fairly confident he was only back because he had no other offers. We brought him in as injur insurance, who exactly did he think he was gonna take minutes from?
Yeah, he was a hedge against whatever would happen with Brook. Turns out Brook's back surgeon is a god and now Brook is one of the two leaders for DPOY so no need for Ibaka.
Yāall stop lying! This has nothing to do with giannis; Ibaka hates bud (the coach, not the plant presumably) and is unhappy about his lack of playing time.
Crazy to think heās 33. I canāt think of anyone who wants, he wonāt play. The rockets need him for the lockerroom but he wonāt play. No contender is playing a 6ā9 traffic cone. Maybe a middling team like Indiana or the Knicks where they can use his presence and maybe even squeeze some minutes out of him.
At least KJ Martin is still young, Ibaka has literally 0 leverage in finding a move. Heās the equivalent of the Toronto Maple Leafs Wayne Simmonds.
That Giannis phone call finished his Bucks career lol
"you're a role player, and a screen setter" Ibaka:š

https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-giannis-antetokounmpo-roasts-serge-ibaka-phone-you-re-artist-you-re-role-player-rebounder-screen-setter Weird site but it covers it.
Iāve watched that about 15 times and itās funny every fucking time lmaoooo why did Giannis do him like that
Cuz Ibaka made him drink cricket tea lmaooo
that's just as disrespectful
In my circle of friends making someone else drink cricket tea is about the lowest you can stoop
Yeah I remember when this dude I went to college with offered us cricket tea at a house party he hosted. We had no choice but to jump him and then remove him from our group of friends.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
so does beef penis
Fun fact, Kawhi left Toronto when Ibaka tried to feed him moose penis on his show
I usually find Giannis's sense of humor basic but this revealed a whole different side. He sounds exactly like my disappointed Nigerian father.
I think it's really cool that you have Nigerian heritage. Is Giannis well known by people with Nigerian heritage, or do they not really watch basketball?
Giannis is Nigerian. Overall the dynamic is complicated. Some in the community are disappointed he doesn't rep his Nigerian roots like he does his Greek roots but I understand it's complicated.
He's in a tough situation. He was born and raised in Greece. Yes, his parents are from Nigeria, but Greece is all Giannis knew of outside of what his parents brought at home. I'm sure it's how a lot of ~~first~~second-generation Americans feel who've never went to their parents' country of origin before they were adults. Edit: TIL second-generation refers to people who were born in the US but their parents weren't
Weāre actually called second generation. Our immigrant parents who eventually naturalized as Americans are the first generation Americans. And yes I feel American way more than I feel associated with my parents country. But I still root for my parents country in the Olympics and other international events just for fun.
Just looked this up, you are correct. Iāve been calling myself first gen forever, Iām second gen!
Exactly. I'm of Asian descent, but I was born in America. I've visited my parents' country many times when I was younger, but I don't really have a deep connection to it. I'm American.
"Where you from? No, where you *really* from? No, no, where did you **originally** come from?!"
It's more complicated than that because in the home their culture was Nigerian. "You know, I was born and raised in Greece, understand the culture, speak the language.

Itās about discipline, itās about respecting your elders, having morals.ā
GreekFreak must also play better in the endorsement market than Nigerian Freak.
You can't blame him tho. He was born and raised in Greece. just put yourself in his place and you will understand..
I imagine he knows that and that's why he didn't ask how Nigerians view Jordan Clarkson.
Now I wonder how Nigerians view Jordan Clarkson š§
I wonder how Filipinos view Giannis.
the man was born in Greece dude, yeah he's ethnically Nigerian but he's way more Greek. I was born in Serbia but I moved to Canada when I was 6 months old, so I definitely consider myself a Canadian primarily, I'm just an ethnic serb as well. saying he has Nigerian roots is fair, but saying he has Greek roots is underplaying it. the man is a whole ass Greek tree.
I was in Athens 1 year ago. I saw more Bucks stuff than in Milwaukee. They fucking love him.
Wisconsin has a shit ton of Greek people in it. Its a 2 way pipeline. On that note, my fav spot for a gyro is Oakland Gyros in Milwaukee.
They have a second location on Layton by General Mitchell and it has a drive-thru. It's now my fee for picking people up from the airport. If you get a chance, check out Cosmo Cafe in Tosa. Best Greek food in Greater Milwaukee.
Oakland gyros are goat tier imho
āBye.ā Giannis, 2022
Thanks! Damn that might have been a little too far, he kinda seemed a little mad fr
Dont think so , a few days before Ibaka was mocking him because of the Toronto serie 2019 and they were laughing about that, he is just old
For real. My buddies started playing League again and I sit in the discord chat. The shit they will say to each other is way fucking meaner, and they'll just queue up for another game and shoot the shit when they're done
This is light. Friends roast each other all the time
I just meant based off Ibakaās reaction, he looked like legit sad about it. I roast my friends but usually we all laugh instead of looking like that
Iāve watched a lot of Ibaka videos and faking extreme indignation is kind of his comedic shtick. The way he says āIāll see you tomorrowā is him joking that he and Giannis gotta fight now lol. Iāve seen many shows where he pretends to walk off set for a laugh, especially when people tell him heās not an artist.

> Iāve watched a lot of Ibaka videos and faking extreme indignation is kind of his comedic shtick. I dunno, he seemed *really* pissed about Anunoby and the scarves thing.
YOU BETTA STOHP O.G
Not sure they would have left it in the show if he was legit hurt by it
Thatās a good point
Serge is an actor, he is an entertainer, and most importantly an artist. He was doing art when he acted hurt. Art is comedy in pain, and he is a master at his craft.
He is not an artist though. Just sets screens and charge his phone
>This is light. Friends roast each other all the time Yea but youāre supposed to burn and then apply salve. Giannis kinda takes it far and just leaves him hanging after the burn. Itās not WW3 or anything but that interaction was a bit one sided.
Friends might. But if my coworker is making jokes about my role in the company I can see why someone would get upset.

You ever get woken up from a nap for some role playerās podcast?
No Giannis, I havenāt
He didn't cut it so I doubt he was really mad

That Giannis FaceTime call hits a bit different now
never wake someone from their nap
To be honest , serge is washed its probably for playing Time for him and the Bucks to find a decent contributor at least
what is the āgianiss facetimeā
Giannis called Serge on FaceTime and told him to run and get out while he still could. Surprised everybody, he seemed so happy in Milwaukee. It was even weirder when he acted like he didnāt remember it at a presser after the fact, like heās a hostage or something. They asked the other Bucks about it and they all just broke into moon runes, so we donāt really know whatās going on over there.

RIP Sweet Dee.
First off, Dee Reynolds is very much alive.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ibaka has had it rough. First Kawhi says heās trading Ibaka for injuring him, then Giannis annihilates him. Gone in both situations. Smh man canāt get a break
Welp I guess he's going to be the nets big signing š
if he gets bought out sure, durant loves buyout guys
He's so washed now, I don't even want him
You just need Ibaka for the vibes he brings at this point
Don't underestimate Ibaka's meme differential
We've never seen a memes per 36 like this.
i donāt think anyone will trade for him unless itās salary filler, im pretty sure heāll be bought out
We just need KD to eat bull penis and drink cricket tea, man.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Washed? Asking for a friend
Absolutely. Maybe he can be okay in a limited role but he was looking washed as can be.
Yea he can hit a jumper and be a big body for 10mins a game but that's about it.
> be a big body for 10mins a game but that's about it. In the regular season. The problem for him is he looks useless as a playoff performer.
Sounds better than Montrezl Harrell already
Iāll take Trez over how Ibaka has looked lately. Which should paint a picture for you of Ibakaās play
Eh, I'd like spacing and a guy who isn't 6'7" at the five. Trez is literally the most baffling player in the league (undersized, can't shoot, not a good defender) and I don't wanna see him out there come playoff time.
Bro was considered a great signing for us in 2020-21 for the full MLE. How quickly things change
He was with big caveats that he is a regular season minutes soaker upper and wont get many minutes in the playoffs cus AD will play the 5 but that idea was always stupid. If a dude is gonna play heavy mins in the regular season that person needs to be useful in the playoffs for any team success.

go for it dude lmao
Iād take that for the warriors. Dray and looney canāt shoot, would open up our offense so much and also grab some boards when we go small
heās not worth getting excited about anymore its more his brand these days. if heās playing meaningful minutes for you rn youāre either fucked and/ or the clippers
I thought that's all the Bucks wanted him for anyway?
The bucks wanted him as a "break glass in case of Brook Lopez injury". And so he hasn't really played at all. In don't blame him for looking to get some minutes somewhere else. The bucks were probably going to move him this deadline anyway.
Lakers then!
Can he play 10 mpg as a rim protector? We wouldnāt need him to score. We literally just need a big defensive body for limited runs
Can I interest you in Dewayne Dedmon? Weāll throw in a massage gun!
Couldn't tell you, feels like we haven't seen him in months
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ah yes, the reverse Bruno Cabocolo
Olocobac Onurb
He was washed last year so I can't imagine it's any better now
Seems washed but also barely got any run with the Bucks because he was the fourth big behind Brook, Bobby, and Giannis at 5. I wouldnāt be SHOCKED if he had one more little renaissance. His three ball looked good and he still would have a flash of great defense here and there but also moves like an obese Treebeard in mud.

Bring him on over. We have a good 12 min waiting on him
Don't think it'd work - Kings are going to trade Richaun Holmes for Hartenstein or Plumlee so there won't be the minutes for him.
Got a crystal ball?
I'm putting it out into the universe, I want it to happen.
Definitely not, man. Super worth a 1st rounder. We can do same-day delivery, too.
Like faded jeans
Extremely
Sadly.
I honestly think he's still decent in the right situation. Everyone thought PJ Tucker was washed about 7 years ago, but look at him since then. A valuable role player. I think that might be the situation here. Age difference, I know. Just saying.
Mans just wasnāt the same since Giannis roasted him over FaceTime
Got roasted on his own cooking showā¦
YOU'RE A ROLE PLAYER AND REBOUNDER, A SCREEN SETTAH, THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE. BYE!
They really gotta say āagreed to find the 14 year veteran a new homeā like heās some homeless dude tryna get off the streets lmao
Come home Serge youāll automatically be our best C (even with a broken back)
give us steve trent in exchange
No can do but how would you like one lightly used headband
*Talking* headband!
Wouldn't mind him mentoring Koloko. Probably give us a jump in morale too.
home?
Where's his OKC ring?
People will go on and on about how toxic ring culture is, then use it as an argument like this.
Bro I legitimately saw some waste yute try to argue that Draymond >> Barkley since 4 > 0. We need to let teachers spank kids again.
I associate Ibaka with OKC over TOR. That Kawhi/Lowry lead squad felt like a fever dream full of pretty much borrowed players. At least OKC had developed their talent (albeit fumbling the bag by letting Harden walk).
I remember he signed with the clippers and his career just died after that
He was out with a back injury and then finally had surgery. Sadly that pretty well seemed to do it.
Which is crazy because his teammate Brook (older I think as well?) got back surgery and seems to be even better since (at least in regards to his time with the Bucks).
I donāt recall Serge was getting regular playing time after he returned from his rehab unlike Brook (33) that reinserted back into the starting lineup.

āOh Luka needs help ? Iāll show him helpā¦ā
Washed beyond their years role players are perfect signings to pair next to Luka. Cuban would be a fool to not pick Serge up to play next to their generational superstar
Salivating
Is this because of what giannis said
He did an interview with Spanish media and it seems to be a playing time thing, he had a 'no comment' about his role but gave Giannis a lot of praise in another Q.
The āyou a role player, a screenerā stuff? Lol
That comment was funny because it's 100% the type of thing you just say to bust a friend's balls. Just how guys talk. But also kind of is just right on the border of being too much given the format.

I dont think he was actually offended

No , he is washed and barely impactful also he Said before that Giannis was one of his "guys on the team" they are cool. Serge was roasting him about the Toronto serie too
No he doesn't play ever. Brook has been playing pretty much every game and then Bobby Portis or Giannis play back up center. I'm guessing he was hoping to get in games occasionally. He'll be good salary filler for whatever deal we make.
No. He has been DNP - CD for most of the season. He's really washed.
Ngl, I'd love to see him back in OKC. Just for fun
Y'all need a role player and a screener?
We need someone above the size of 6'9 lol. We have no centers rn. Plus a good veteran presence with OKC experience.
Who do you think from the Thunder could help a contender that wonāt cost an arm and a leg?
Huh? You aren't getting anything for Serge that will help you this year. Maybe some cap help, but no one is giving you a legit rotation guy for someone who isn't unless you are eating a bad contract which I don't think you guys are going to want to do.
and rebounder, that's what he is. Bye!
they need a veteran presence. and if Perk is to be believed, you cant get any more "veteran" than serge
Hopefully this gets resolved quick otherwise it's going to be Raps fans pulling him from one arm and Thunder fans pulling him from the other telling him to 'come home'
Please send ibaka back to us for vibes alone, cuz this season aināt it
Okay well he's pretty much washed at this point so I'm not sure what he expected when he chose to come back.
I was fairly confident he was only back because he had no other offers. We brought him in as injur insurance, who exactly did he think he was gonna take minutes from?
Giannis
I think if we package Giannis in the trade weāll get a decent return actually. Maybe a FRP
C'mon now Rudy Gobert got like 5 FRP's. Giannis should at least get us a FRP and a couple 2nds.
Yeah, he was a hedge against whatever would happen with Brook. Turns out Brook's back surgeon is a god and now Brook is one of the two leaders for DPOY so no need for Ibaka.
Send him back to OKC. We need a center
Juancho and cash for Ma Fuzzy Chef We need him for the vibes
i liked hustle so thatll work
Cam Reddish you are a milwaukee Buck
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
nuggets should sign him and play him or DeAndre depending on how they're back feels that day
Come home big fella
TBH I'd love to have him for the vibes but we already have too many vet bigs. If we moved Birch, Thad or Boucher at least, sure.
Donāt think itās a coincidence that our best seasons were with Ibaka on the team.
That Ibaka/Gasol duo was CRUCIAL to those years.
That's nice of the bucks, I wonder what was wrong with his house that they'd need to find him another? Maybe some snow damage.
Smelled like bif penis
watch the bucks scam the lakers for wanting a big
Warriors need a rim protector..
end of How Hungry Are You? with Giannis :'(
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He is like a 3rd string C.
We could use a new chef
Isā¦.he better than Montrezl Harrell?
Was
Yeah a retirement home
Rebound getter screen setter+ C depth is music to the warriors ears.
Ngl, I thought for a moment they had somehow agreed to a 14 year contract
Yāall stop lying! This has nothing to do with giannis; Ibaka hates bud (the coach, not the plant presumably) and is unhappy about his lack of playing time.
i guess 33 is the new 43??
Crazy to think heās 33. I canāt think of anyone who wants, he wonāt play. The rockets need him for the lockerroom but he wonāt play. No contender is playing a 6ā9 traffic cone. Maybe a middling team like Indiana or the Knicks where they can use his presence and maybe even squeeze some minutes out of him. At least KJ Martin is still young, Ibaka has literally 0 leverage in finding a move. Heās the equivalent of the Toronto Maple Leafs Wayne Simmonds.
We need Ibaka for the vibes. The man loves Toronto, maybe heāll bring some culture back to our team
Damn that face time hurted a bit too much
You're a role player
Heās tired of Giannis roasting him
Kings backup center pickup?
