Aaron Rodgers is an icon of the NFL. Anybody who knows the NFL, knows Aaron Rodgers. But someone can purposely not recognize him. And that is exactly what NBA champion and chef Serge Ibaka did.

Ibaka failed to recognize Rodgers in an attempt to cook some fun for his YouTube channel when the two met recently. And what came out of it was hilarious.

Aaron Rodgers who?

The Milwaukee Bucks star Serge Ibaka teamed up with NFL legend Aaron Rodgers to cook something up for his YouTube channel. And for that, he pretended to not recognize Rodgers at all. And what ensued was a hilarious concoction of both the athletes pretending to not know each other.

“Guess what? I just met this guy. I don’t know who he is but I know he loves the NFL. He is a big NFL fan. And I want him to tell what is his name. Can you introduce yourself, please?” Ibaka said in the video.

Rodgers said hello to the fans and then pretended to not know Ibaka himself. Ibaka asked Rodgers for his name and the Green Bay Packers legend gave him his first name. He then asked Ibaka his first name. Ibaka gave a hilarious reply.“I’m original man. I am 100% pure from the motherland. I do art,” Ibaka said.

Troubles on the field

Aaron Rodgers is going through a lot of trouble on the field this season. The Packers are not in good form, having won just four games since the start of the season. Rodgers has repeatedly spoken out about the performances of the team, but nothing seems to be working at the moment.

The Packers snapped out of a five-game losing streak in week 10 with a win against the Dallas Cowboys. Fans thought it would be the start of a revival. But their hopes were quickly dashed with a loss to the Tennessee Titans the very next week.

Rodgers has had a decent season going by the stats, but it is nowhere near the legendary QB’s best. He has thrown 243 completions for 2,542 yards so far. Rodgers has attempted a total of 376 passes and thus has a completion rate of 64.6%. The QB has thrown 19 touchdown passes, which puts him fourth in the league. But the TDs haven’t resulted in wins. He has also thrown seven interceptions this season so far.

The Packers take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in week 12. Can they make a statement?
