Much is known about Serge Ibaka, from his rare shooting range at 6-foot-10 to his shot blocking skills. Not many know about the 26-year-old's fatherhood.

The Vertical sat down with Ibaka earlier this season to film a mini-documentary about Ibaka and his relationship with his 10-year-old daughter, Ranie.

At 17, Ibaka left a war-torn Republic of the Congo to pursue a basketball career in Europe. Not long after, a family friend Ibaka dated informed Ibaka's father that she was pregnant.
