Biography
Serge Ibaka (born September 18, 1989 in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo) is a Congolese basketball player, playing the power forward position for the Oklahoma City Thunder of the NBA. Ibaka was drafted by the Thunder's former incarnation, the Seattle SuperSonics with the 24th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. He is the 3rd youngest among 18 siblings, and did not speak much English when he came to Oklahoma City. However, with a flare for high-flying dunks and blocks, he has become a favorite among fans who have given him nicknames such as "Doctor Nasty," "Iblocka a lot," "Serge Iblockya," "The Sergeon," and "Chewblocka." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Ibaka
