Serge Ibaka Did All Of Toronto Wrong With This Great April Fools Day Prank

Remember that promo from a few weeks ago in mid March? I blogged about how maybe, just maybe we learned Kawhi’s free agent decision based on his facial twitches using some pretty fool proof scientific research. Anyway, I had no idea when this episode was set to drop, and then I saw a link to it today. Right off the bat that should have had my spidey senses firing given what day today is, but I thought hey maybe this actually could be the episode once it actually started playing. Here it is

Instead, Ibaka pulled one over us all. Poor Raptors fans man, Your computer isn’t broken, it’s just 13 minutes of a loading symbol. What a move and honestly on a day where April Fools jokes are sort of lame, this was an A+ effort from Ibaka here. We ALL want to see how Kawhi answers that question at the top of this blog, and it sure as shit looked like we were getting that today. I can only imagine how this makes you feel if you live and die with the Raptors given the entire future of your franchise revolves around this decision. That is some torturous shit right there for Ibaka to pull, even if this is the day for pranks like that. I feel like whenever it comes to Kawhi, you can’t joke around about it.

I’ll admit, I refreshed my Wifi a few times. I refreshed the video a few times, even skipped ahead and couldn’t figure out what was going on. THAT is how you know it’s a good April Fools prank. Maybe I’m alone in that regard but I doubt it. As someone who works on the internet I respect the play, it’s a good burn, but as someone who really wanted to see Kawhi’s answer it just left me angry. Now just imagine how Raptors fans feel. On one hand they love Ibaka because he’s having a legit career year on the court for a team poised to go on a big playoff run now that their Boogieman is no longer in their way, but on the other hand he just gave an entire fanbase a brutal case of blue balls which is kinda messed up.

Kawhi better say he’s staying in this video whenever it really does come out, or they may kick Ibaka out of the country
