Talk:Serge Ibaka

"Learning English" conflict
There's a conflict between the SLAM article, in which the writer says he went back to Spain for a year and taught himself English, and the wiki page which says "he arrived in the NBA and was unable to speak English".

Is there a reference for the second claim? Anyone able to clarify? Bullblade (talk) 07:14, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It's presumably referenced to this: Zagal e jo^^^ 23:54, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Interesting, that was pre-summer-camp (presumably at the end of the other camps he'd played). I wonder if he spent a short time time back in Spain between July and October/November (I had always presumed that the reason he was sent to back to Spain for a year was to learn English!). Definitely swinging towards "learned English in the NBA", I'll do a little digging. Bullblade (talk) 08:12, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Listed Height
On some NBA pages, Ibaka is listed a 6ft 10in (e.g. https://www.nba.com/search#/Serge%20Ibaka) and others he is listed as 7ft 0in (e.g. https://www.nba.com/raptors/roster). I believe that the 6ft 10in listing is more accurate, for two reasons. Firstly, he was measured 6ft 10in at the combine and was listed as such for many years (I believe only recently he was changed to 7ft 0in). Secondly, this past season the NBA requested all teams to submit an accurate re-measurement of all player heights, and the Raptors measured Ibaka at 6ft 10in (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EHKycHQXkAE_GZD?format=png&name=small). I doubt he's grown two inches since then, at age thirty. Although perhaps I overlooked something about Wikipedia's policy on NBA player heights. However, the fact that both height listings exist on official sources but he was demonstrably measured at 6ft 10in, makes me think that is a better height to use.

Add him as a part of the Clippers
Serge Ibaka has joined the Clippers on a 2 year 19 million dollar deal. It has been reported by the NBA as well as Adrian Wojnarowski. Pls make the necessary changes. Arnav Garg1312 (talk) 17:34, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
