Toronto Raptors star Serge Ibaka conducted an Instagram Live where he held a talent show which would help donate for COVID-19 relief. During the session, Ibaka's former teammate DeMar DeRozan also made a short appearance. DeRozan then pledged to donate $20,000 on the Live, the same amount that the Serge Ibaka Foundation will be donating.

Can you sing? Are you a beatmaker? Do you do art? Are you a baller? What kind of talent do you have?

Ibaka's Instagram was a part of the contest, 'How Talented Are You?'. People were asked to showcase their talents to the NBA star, who would then choose a winner, whose city or region would receive $20,000 for COVID-19 relief. The winner would also win a Serge Ibaka autographed jersey. Sometime after the Live started, DeRozan commented asking his former teammate to pick him. After joining, the San Antonio Spurs star pledged to match the donation of $20,000. Ibaka thanked DeRozan for his generosity and promised to share the details of the winner soon.
The NBA season was suspended on March 11 after Utah Jazz's Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus. Along with Ibaka and DeRozan, many NBA players like LeBron James, Steph Curry, Zion Williamson, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis have donated for the cause.
