Serge Ibaka
}}
Serge Jonas Ibaka Ngobila (born September 18, 1989)〔(His story / Su historia ) 〕〔(NBA.com: Serge Ibaka 2008 Draft Profile )〕 is a Congolese-Spanish professional basketball player who currently plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Ibaka was drafted by the Thunder's former incarnation, the Seattle SuperSonics with the 24th overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft. Although born in the Republic of the Congo (and having played for the Republic of Congo youth team), Ibaka officially represents Spain in international competition, as he moved there as a teenager before joining the NBA (making him one of only three active NBA players, the other two being Roy Hibbert and Charlie Villanueva, to have played for more than one national team).〔Hoopshype.com. (Which NBA players compete most often for their countries? ). Accessed September 14, 2013.〕
==Early life==
Ibaka was born in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo and is the third-youngest of 18 children.〔Whitaker, Lang. "Powerserge" - SLAM Magazine, July 2011〕 Both his mother and his father were basketball players. His father played at the Republic of Congo and with the Congolese national team, and his mother played for the Democratic Republic of Congo. He started playing basketball at a very young age with his first club, Avenir du Rail, using the sport as an escape amongst his mother's untimely death and his father's imprisonment during the Second Congo War. (His father had taken his family away from their home to escape the war, but found himself on the wrong side of the battle-line and was held as a political prisoner upon their return.)〔
Ibaka moved to France at the age of 17 and joined a second division basketball team before moving to Spain, where he taught himself Spanish.〔 In Spain he soon found himself playing with second division basketball club CB L'Hospitalet. He averaged 10.8 points and 8.2 rebounds and shot 55%.〔Thomsen, Ian. "(Intriguing players at Hoop Summit )". sportsillustrated.com. Accessed: September 13, 2013〕 In 2008 he entered several international showcases, picking up an MVP award at the Reebok Eurocamp,〔 where he also found himself being noticed by NBA scouts. An NBA scout at one of the camps said that "athletically he's off the charts—there's no telling how good he can be".〔
