Euroleague: Bayern hires Serge Ibaka, an NBA coup

The great final blow comes from Bayern Munich who announced a one-year agreement with Serge Ibaka. The Congolese big man with a Spanish passport is therefore returning to Europe after 14 years and over a thousand NBA games under his belt. He began last season in Milwaukee playing only 15 games and then moved to Indiana who immediately cut him, ending his NBA career, but the 1989-born (208 cm) player in Europe can still speak volumes about him. After the arrivals of Kemba Walker (Monaco), Jabari Parker and Willy Hernangomez (Barcelona), here is another NBA caliph for a Euroleague that promises to be stellar.

The title with Toronto in 2019 is the peak of a career that has seen Ibaka twice the league’s best shot blocker (2012 and 2013) and three times included in the best defensive quintet (2012, 2013 and 2014). Italian GM Daniele Baiesi’s Bayern Munich therefore ensures a great intimidator under the basket to try to hook up the train that leads to the playoffs.
