Serge Ibaka's next special guest on his food show will be new Toronto Raptors teammate Kawhi Leonard.
The Raptors big man revealed his tidbit of information in an interview with Joseph Casciaro of The Score, citing that he wants people to see Leonard on a different light compared to how fans see him and how the media painted him.
Ibaka is currently starring in his YouTube food show series called “How Hungry Are You” where different guests try (or just taste) his cooking. The different thing, however, is they are always in for a surprise as the Raptors star makes them eat outrageous foods (case in point: DeMar DeRozan eats worms!).
Now, Ibaka said he will have Leonard next on his show, though he pointed they are still working on the schedule as the 2018-19 season continues.
“I spoke with him about wanting to get him on my show so people can see his different side. I told him a lot of kids love him. When they see him, they think about the (media day) laugh or the serious face, but actually, he has different personalities,” Ibaka said when asked about on his pitch to land Leonard as a guest.
“What you see on TV, that's when he's working. He's a nice guy, a normal guy like everybody else. We talk about funny stuff and laugh. I want him on my show so kids can see a different side of him.
He agreed with me and said he would love to do it. Now it's about timing. The season started so we're busier working.”
It will be interesting to see Ibaka and Leonard team up in the show. Leonard is known for his nonchalant personality and for being expressionless most of the time. However, he surprised everyone when he blurted out an awkward laugh during media day.
Fans and the media are surely all-in to see a different side of Kawhi. Here's to hoping, though, that Ibaka can really surprise him.
