Prime Victor Oladipo Was Better Than You Think



Injuries robbed Victor Oladipo of seeing an extended prime for the Pacers, but his 2017-18 campaign showed a glimpse of what looked to be the NBA’s next great 2-way star.

  1. Dame shame his prime was cut so short. He coulda been a perennial allstar consistent top 15 type player if he stayed healthy

  2. One of my favorite players at the time it's a shame he dealt with the injuries. Was one of the most clutch players in the league too

  3. 5:00 – I'd never seen anyone just be able to attack into pull-up jumpers like this. His opponents had such fear of getting blown by from a guy setting up his attack from near the logo.

    Looked like he could be one of the great slashers post-Wade.

    His ability to cover distance quickly, pressure the paint and finish was impressive to watch. He was a unique challenge and legit #1 option. A big what-if and sad to see his continued health issues.

  4. Besides him being one so talented, athletic and versatile one another thing separates him from many other good players is the love and dedication to the game. And it makes his injury history even worse. As he was someone people were excited to see to progress. And he was getting better season after season. Truly unfortunate. Thank you for this documentary-long tribute.

  5. One thing from watching him play is all the heel planting and violent cutting and stopping, definitely contributed to his knee issues. It's like watching a young Derrick Rose in hindsight

  6. Ready for 5 years from now when glue eaters on /rnba post clips of Oladipo and go "Oladipo was A PROBLEM!!!!"

  7. from PG to Dipo and now Tyrese. Gotta give credit to the Pacers organization for what they do.

  8. Prime Oladipo was very fun to watch especially in the clutch. His jumper always seemed to start falling when it was crunch time

  9. Still remember him pacers oladipo vs lebron cavs. That was his prime! What if he didn’t get injuries. He will be scary!
