Rondae Hollis-Jefferson wants to dunk on Serge Ibaka, Ibaka responds to callout
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has high hopes for his future professional career.
Projected as a first-round pick in the upcoming NBA draft, the former Arizona forward set the bar high when asked at the combine who he wants to posterize.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka is No.1 on Hollis-Jefferson's list.
"I don't know if I should say this, because he might be, like, looking for me if I come down the paint," Hollis-Jefferson said, according to the Oklahoman's Darnell Mayberry. "But I know Serge Ibaka is a big blocked-shot dude. So if I can get him, I'm good."
Hollis-Jefferson did not hesitate when asked to call out Ibaka on camera.
"Serge Ibaka," he said, laughing. "Serge, I'm coming for you, baby."
Ibaka took to Twitter to let the draft prospect know he will be ready and waiting for him next season.
Lol I will be waiting for you young fella! Good luck in the draft! https://t.co/wZehxXL2Ca

Somehow, I don't think Ibaka is worried.
