Serge Ibaka had one heck of a stat line on Saturday night for the Raptors. 23 points, 12 rebounds, 3 languages spoken after the game.
Serge Ibaka seamlessly answered post-game questions in 3 different languages
This was so amazing.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Me, a doofus who struggled through college French, is so impressed with how seamlessly Ibaka is able to move between English, French and Spanish like it’s nothing. Media from around the world were there to ask questions, and he has answers.
It should be noted that Ibaka knows FOUR languages fluently. He also speaks Lingala, a Bantu language spoken throughout the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I’m in awe.
