even though this is the music forum I will share with you the story of Ibaka because watching the story of him it's like watching the story of every poor guy in Congo. Seeing that ibaka has changed his life through basketball commitments and training give me a lot of Hope even though watching the guys and the girls and the people from brazzaville asking him money really made me sick because it shows you that the Congo situation (both side) it's not what politicians and musicians made it look

Ibaka is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. I was fortunate to meet him via Garry Iwele. Incredibly humble and proud of his roots (and music).

The story of his family keeping his daughter a secret is both sad and heartwarming, now that they are together. His then girlfriend was pregnant when he got the opportunity to play in Spain; his parents didn't want him to stay, so they didn't tell him she was pregnant.

I must admit he and the Raptors are getting their asses handed to by Lebron and the Cavaliers in the playoffs. Nevertheless, it makes me proud to see him at one of the highest stages in sports.

Ye, very good story, for him and the Raptors, LeBron is LeBron you can really do nothing against a guy who played 6 consecutive finals winning three of them, my secret wish is to see him, Westbrook, Harden, and Durant reunite togheter in OKC for winning a title
