Oklahoma Thunder forward Serge Ibaka says he is ready to help his adopted country Spain defend its European championship.

“I have to give all my energy on the court, that’s my job,” the 21-year-old Ibaka said. “I will do everything I can to help the team.”

Ibaka, a native of the Republic of Congo, played for Spanish clubs for three years before moving to the NBA in 2009. He became a Spanish national this month.
