    It's not like Ibaka is mocking Deke.

    Deke is his favourite NBA center so I don't think there's anything wrong with what he did. Imitation blah blah flattery.

    Landry did it because Deke was sitting courtside at that game. But I really don't have a problem with this, it's just kinda cheesy to copy someone else's celebration.

    Nah. Ibaka is just showing some attitude there. Williams had NO chance. Great block.

    Deke's no longer playing though so I don't think he minds. Personally I think its kinda' cool, the new generation is keeping the old school alive.

    I personally think it's weak to copy someone else's signature move or act after a play. I also think Deke doesn't really like it, even with Landry you can see he is not really happy about it. Like come on man, get your own move, and then just laughs it off. Ibaka is from the Congo, so what ? It's not like Deke passed him the torch to represent Congo in the NBA or something. To me, nobody should do that.
