Serge Ibaka angrily responded to Kendrick Perkins who claimed that the Milwaukee Bucks forward may have been older than he claimed while at the Oklahoma City Thunder.

During a segment on ESPN's First Take, Perkins said despite Ibaka being 23 years, he could probably have been 30 since there were people who lied about their age, a comment which angered Ibaka.

While recalling his time in OKC, Perkins recounted the team’s core of young players like Kevin Durant, James Harden and Russell Westbrook.

After the video was posted on Twitter, Ibaka fired back with a lengthy thread on the platform.

In the video Perkins, who is now an analyst with ESPN, said Ibaka was probably lying about his age, per SI.

“Everybody kept saying, ‘Oh, Kevin Durant is only 23 years of age. Russell Westbrook is only 22, James Harden is 22, Serge Ibaka is 21—although he was probably 30 at the time because we already know how certain individuals lie about their age.”

Ibaka responded, saying Perkins was spreading misinformation, while also questioning his character.

"Although I am disappointed I am not surprised to see these actions from someone who got his job by breaking the locker room code and by spreading lies about two of his former teammates and brothers like KD and Russ."

Ibaka, 33, is in his 14th NBA season and playing for the MilwaukeeBucks. Perkins later responded to Ibaka's long rant, threatening to reveal more information about their time in OKC.
