Igor Ibaka, Despite Arms of Steel, Is Terrified of Heights

I can relate to this one, young(er) Ibaka.

When I was a teenager, my family forced me on a ferris wheel at some inane amusement park in the state of Texas. I hung on for dear life. For all I remember, the thing was probably for children and about 20 feet off the ground. It might as well have been Everest.

We found out 2 things at Friday’s pool workout. 1) Swimming is tough. 2) @igoribaka14 is afraid of heights. #GoPokes pic.twitter.com/xxtyNVJG8w

On Friday, the OSU basketball Twitter account sold Igor Ibaka out and showed him climbing to the top of the diving board at the Colvin Center before immediately climbing back down. I actually laughed out loud at all the booing.

His arms, though? No laughing matter, according to Anthony Allen.
