OG Anunoby: “But, what about scarfs?”

Perhaps, you’ve seen the clip that’s making the rounds on Twitter or maybe you haven’t been enlightened yet, but it truly seems as if there is turmoil in the Raptors’ locker room and it’s between OG Anunoby, Serge Ibaka, and… scarfs?

Now, this argument has some true hard-hitting, backbreakers, so let me just put on my detective hat real quick so we can get down to the nitty-gritty as to who TRULY deserves the scarfs moniker in the Raptors family.

**Goes to the closet to find Sherlock Holmes hat from first grade Halloween outfit**

Ahem, well, Dr. Watson there are a lot of clues at play here, but here are some facts we can be sure of:

  • Serge Ibaka has been in the league since 2009, while OG Anunoby — who is quite dazzling in his attire, I might add — has only been in the league since 2018.
  • On top of that, doctor, let’s really discuss the scarf and its history: According to Wikipedia, the best source for information, the scarf has been around since ancient times. There have been numerous uses since, but notably, fashion has been the one most prominent since the early 19th century and has only increased in the 20th century. Now in the 21st century, it seems that fashionable scarves have continued to be an accessory for both men and women.
  • None of this really needs to be examined any further as a source close to me has promptly given me proof of Serge Ibaka wearing a scarf far before he knew OG Anunoby in 2011:

So, Dr. Watson, it seems that, indeed, Serge Ibaka knew what a scarf was prior to knowing OG Anunoby. Whether or not he continued the tradition is up for debate, but one thing is for sure: Ibaka does indeed do art, bro.
