Serge Ibaka is one of the toughest players in the NBA. Standing at 6-foot-10, weighing a whopping 235 pounds, “Air Congo” is able to assert his dominance on both sides of the paint.
The Milwaukee Bucks center has had a pretty respectable 13-year-career so far. The Congolese-Spanish has won 2 block championships (3.7 BPG in 2011-12 & 3 BPG in 2012-2013), been selected to 3 All-Defensive First Teams (2012-2014), and played a huge role in helping Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors win the championship in 2019.

Not many know about this but Ibaka is much more than a professional athlete. Serge is a chef, who refers to himself as Mafuzzy Chef on his YouTube channel “How Hungry Are You?”, known for his bold fashion sense, is a socialist, has several skincare videos on his social media, and is even the most successful artist in the NBA fraternity.

Truly, Serge is the jack of all trades.
