"I think he's a special player and a special person," Popovich said of the Congolese big man whose surprise return from a calf injury Sunday changed everything in the Western Conference finals that the Spurs now lead 2-1. "The way he handles himself, the class that he exudes, I think he's the best defensive player in the league.

"I think he's been overlooked to some degree in that (defensive) regard. But he also does what he does at the offensive end. I think he's one of the most gifted players in our league because he's a dual player. He does it at both ends of the court. But he's also a fine man, so that's a pretty great combination."

"It's incredible," Ginobili said of Ibaka. "When you hear stories like that, you understand what adversity is. Adversity is not being (down in the West finals) 0-2. (Ibaka's background) is adversity. So yeah, you appreciate a player more, and he appreciates what he has even more too.

Ibaka. :applause: :applause: :applause:

In game 1 in the ECF Bosh played bad and Miami lost. He played great tonight and they won.

Bosh = East MVP, Ibaka = West MVP :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

I have researched this matter in depth.

My conclusions find that Serge's size lies between 7-8 inches.

Pop compliments opposing players all the time, pretty sure it's to fire up his own guys. That guy is a master of head games.

KD is not that good tbh, dude is a glorified jumpshooter these playoffs with bad fG% for his own standards..
Westbrook is their true star on the offensive side, Ibaka on the defensive side.
The X-Factor for OKC has always been the refs. They compensate for KD's and Brooks' weaknesses.

You know, I have to say, sometimes it's annoying trying to have serious discussions with some of you.

There is way too much sexual undertone for a male basketball player. Even if you are joking, mentioning his body below the belt comes off ignorant and uneducated.

I don't like to mention race but I'm willing to bet the people commenting on his physical body non basketball related are mostly white.
