That Serge Ibaka statline is super underrated! People would have talked about it more if his teammates didn't combine for 91.

[@kazutrashsato8883]

Yeah 11 blocks. It's pretty much insane if you think about it.

[@ghoostxo4804]

Ibaka had 11 block in this game 🤤🤤🤤 legend. He was a block machine man 🔥🔥

welcome to the blOKC party as what one of the fans said there

[@sports3117]

KD had 50 and Russell Westbrook had 40. They were a dynamic duo and James Harden is no slouch either coming off the bench

[@hunter_whitt_0353]

Sports 311 and ibaka had 14 points 15 rebounds and 11 blocks Jesus

[@wilderac2250]

It’s like they could each win an mvp or something

crazy how this thunder team didn't become a dynasty

[@willyjantejano4590]

If they already had a 4th yr Steven Adams. OKC couldve win a title. Center position is the missing piece. Perk couldn't even lift his feet to blocked shots

[@lukabusljeta98]

Yeah, other teams were playing off of perk massively during those years, plus he was too slow on defense, I think that Perk playing around 25 minutes against heat was one of main reasons why they lost against heat in 2012.

[@SandyMcJeeb]

Shoutout Ibaka bro. Dude has managed to evolve his game so much despite losing a lot of the athleticism that created the player that he was when he entered the league. Still a huge positive on a championship contender.

[@Netsfan24]

[@flightismyson6934]

1:40:52 The girl is like 😮😮😮😮

[@enigmathegrayman2953]

Post Melo trade, and before Jokic this Nuggets team while just above average until George Karl and Masai Ujiri got fired had no identity. George Karl should’ve won coach of the year the season he was fired for the job he did coaching a bunch of nobodies into the playoffs against a overmatched OKC team. Masai Ujiri was masterful in fleecing the New York Knicks into getting valuable players in return for Anthony and an aging Billups. All things aside this was a great performance by Kevin Durant.

[@HervinHervin-rm4wp]

Kevin Durant is such a inspiration to me

[@blakemasters5742]

i hate how ppl forget just how good KD was in OKC with no virtually no court spacing. Routinely gave you 30 pts wit not other shooters on the floor. He went to the GSW and got some court spacing and we saw a whole new player the Best in the World

[@Christopher._M]

This was pretty much what a majority of the league played with. I would say KD had it a bit worst than most but it wasn't much different.

[@mattrg3460]

The first possession for OKC is the exact reason KD left.. the coaching staff draws a set up for Westbrook who gets into the high post & takes a fade away bank shot & air balls 🤦🏽‍♂️ this isn’t a knock against Russ, it’s against the coaching staff god bless KD for leaving into a real system & not playing street ball & fine tuning his skills

[@manwinderkailey6354]

Still joined the team he lost to, could've gone to any other team but the warriors

[@TheSandovalShow]

Lock Down bro you don’t go to the team that just beat you in a series. Especially a superstar like KD. Can you imagine Klay Thompson leaving gsw to go to Cleveland when cavs beat them 3-1???? Exactly.

[@potentfade5664]

@Lock Down KD's move to Golden State is weak since they beat him right before he joined. Most of the greatest players in NBA history wouldn't make that move due to their competitive drive.

[@deusexmachina1253]

If u cant beat em, Join em. -snake

[@Kirbystare1992]

Matt RG is it a bad play if he made it? Russ always makes those jumpers off the glass he just missed that one. Lol let’s stop acting like KD has no blame for the thunder not winning just cause he left. They often ran post ups to start the game for Kendrick Perkins did that make him leave too? Some of the coaching stuff you said is true though

[@ekuntz9047]

Something in me made me confused for a half a second when the team wouldn't take the ball back to the 3 point line after an offensive board. This quarentine thing has me so fixed to only street ball games that I automatically expect people to take the ball back....what I'm trying to say is I'm going crazy.

[@billyfresh23]

if this were today it would be ibaka at center, durant and harden at forward and reggie and wesbrook in back court. with a better coach and more time to grow with as players they would've been scary

Height is op, speed is op, field goal percentage is almost 50 percent, decent 3 point shooting, 90% from free throw line. If he had strength like lebron, I think this guy would have dominated the league.

Bruh!!!! Ibaka, Harden, Westbrook, and Durant... it's too hard to even watch this. This is a ridiculous. We were all robbed. In hindsight, honestly I would get rid of russ before I get rid of harden. Even though I respect the hell out of Russ for his loyalty and commitment 2 OKC, but can you imagine Durant and Harden on the same team in their Prime if they could coexist like Steph and Klay? Jordan and Pippen? ... but, ego's mannnn..... smh. Egos and STUUUUUUUPID management!
