Pacers were down 2 at home to Spurs and Oladipo hit a step back 3 with 10 seconds left to lift the Pacers to a win.

I did a victory lap around the room when he hit that shot

.... He already has more game winners for the Pacers than Paul George did.

Way to go Vic.  Tweets from Stu Jackson.

Vic is just "that dude." I'm glad he was a Hoosier and now back in the state.

Actually.. he shot a career 54% from the field at IU. As a JR he shot 60% from the field and 44% from 3.

In the NBA he's shot 44% from the field in his career and 35% from 3. 80% from the FT line.

Pretty solid shooting.

The LeBron at PG experiment isn't paying dividends. Cleveland is lost right now.

Glad I can finally root for the Pacers again.

Cleveland sucks outside of LeBron. 

 

Entire team is way more fun to root for right now

Love that he is getting the opportunity to be a primary scorer/go to on a team, and very happy it's the Pacers.  The super teams can do what they want, but I think he, Sabonis, and Turner will be as formidable as any 3 some save Curry/Thompson/Durant.  Love this team.  They will be a top 4 seed.

He's playing with so much confidence.   We've had conversations about various IU players as to were they playing at IU or for IU.   I'm not sure the Pacers have really had a "go to" guy since Reggie Miller who really wanted to play for the Pacers, but simply wore the uniform.  Vic has a real opportunity to become a Pacer legend and be the face of the Pacers for a very long time.

[HoosierAloha 30,102]

Vic has had the personality to be the face of a franchise. He's now playing like it.

Oladipo, Turner, Sabonis, Leaf is a solid young core.
