Serge Ibaka is back, feeling it and sticking out his tongue

Oklahoma City Thunder big man Serge Ibaka returned to the lineup for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, and Ibaka immediately made his presence felt. Ibaka has nailed his first four shots, and after the third, he channeled his inner Michael Jordan and showed a little tongue:

So Ibaka is clearly feeling it, but we have some questions here. Just how did his tongue get so red? Did he eat a cherry popsicle before the game? Maybe he chugged a lot of red Gatorade? Or perhaps he went with the red Gatorade chews:

Either way, it’s great to have Ibaka back, and perhaps he’ll help the Thunder get back into this series.
