I basically ignored Victor Oladipo all of last year. I don’t even know why, because it’s not like he was playing super great or anything. Maybe I overreacted to him being the second best player on a popular team? Or because I thought he was supposed to be better than he was and I made the decision to not do highlights of him before I found out he could only score 16 a game despite getting all the opportunity in the world?
I continued my trend of ignoring him for his first two games this season, but for a different reason: more free throws than buckets, which always makes for a crappy highlights package.
But tonight I finally issue my apology letter to Oladipo. Not a literal letter, because truth be told I kinda suck at writing, but in the form of a highlight vid. This highlight vid, in fact. You are watching the apology letter right now. Don’t try to play it backwards in the search for secret encoded messages or anything; you’ll just end up watching a perverse form of basketball where the rim regurgitates balls it finds right beneath it.
