Growing up in the Congo, the path to the NBA was thought to be impossible, but Serge Ibaka’s hunger to become great prevailed. As a child, Ibaka experience malnutrition and had to sell water on the streets to support his family. At one moment in his life, Serge remembers being homeless without food or clean water. Serge made a promise to himself that he would play basketball in abroad because there was no other choice for him. Basketball became a safe haven for Serge as he lost his mother when he was 8, and then lost his father to prison. Serge woke up at 4 a.m. every day to run and made that his routine every morning. Finally after all the struggle, on June 26th, 2008, Ibaka was selected 24th overall by the Thunder. Later in his career, Serge signed a three-year contract worth 65 million dollars.
Remember, there are people out there who have it worse than you. Be thankful for what you have, and make the most out of what you have. 2019 is a year for success! KEEP GRINDING!
