Just a bunch of athletic dudes running around with the ball without following the rules. This just isn't true. The talent level in the NBA is at an all time high. We're obviously never going to see eye to eye on LeBron, and that's cool, but if you like hoops then you really should watch more of the NBA. It's incredible. Quote

I know he wines and flops a lot (as most players do), but he was simply unstoppable last night. Wow. My first time being called ignorant in, how many years on this board? Yeah, I don't stoop to internet "fights." Sorry dude. I even said they survived his onslaught at the start. Dude was unconscious. Had little help again. mamasa and RealIU 1 1 Quote

bigrod Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Oladipo had a great year and it definitely looks like he's not happy with just being in the conversation. He wants to be better next year. I'm not a LeBron fan either. The guy is really good, not doubt about it. He gets a lot of calls, but like others have said, most of the superstars have and do. What bothers me the most about him is that most nights he is one of the biggest guys on the court, if not the biggest, but somehow he manages to get pushed around by everyone. His flops, are so overly dramatized that they look like something straight out of the professional wrestling circuit. He's good enough and gets enough calls that he doesn't need to do that. For a guy his size and age to play the minutes he does is pretty amazing though - I'll give him that. Just cut out all the WWF moves... jonz44, FloridaHoosierGirl and HoosierAloha 3 Quote
FloridaHoosierGirl Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 What an amazing run Victor and the Pacers had! It was so fun to watch and agonize over. Can't wait for next year! IUsafety, Class of '66 Old Fart, LockdownD and 1 other 4 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Pacers’ All-Star, Hoosiers’ Hero Oladipo To Drive 2019 Corvette ZR1 Pace Car at 102nd Indianapolis 500 INDIANAPOLIS – Victor Oladipo, who blossomed into an NBA All-Star in his first season with the Indiana Pacers, will drive the 2019 Corvette ZR1 Pace Car and lead the field of 33 drivers to the start of the 102nd Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil on Sunday, May 27 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Oladipo averaged 23.1 points per game in the 2017-18 NBA season with the Pacers after being traded from Oklahoma City. That outstanding performance elevated him to become the leading candidate for the 2017-18 NBA Most Improved Player Award, which will be announced at the end of June. The arrival in Indiana was a popular homecoming for Oladipo, who produced an outstanding college career and was a fan favorite for three seasons at Indiana University from 2010-13. “This is a tremendous honor for me,” Oladipo said. “I’m so thankful Indiana continues to embrace me, from Indiana University to the Pacers and now the Indianapolis 500, the greatest race in the world. I would like to thank Chevrolet, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Pacers for allowing me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Excited is a huge understatement to how I feel about this. I can’t wait.” Oladipo, a guard, was named to the NBA All-Star team for the first time in the 2017-18 season while leading the Pacers to a 48-34 record – the team’s best season since 2013-14 – and the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Oladipo also led the NBA in steals with 2.4 per game and improved his statistics in every major offensive and defensive category under Head Coach Nate McMillan. During his college career at IU, Oladipo was a consensus first-team All-American in his final season with the Hoosiers in 2012-13. He was selected second overall in the NBA Draft in 2013 by the Orlando Magic. “It’s a great honor to welcome Victor Oladipo, one of the most popular recent sports figures in Indiana, to lead the field to the start of ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,'” IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. “Few NBA players drive to the basket with more speed and power than Victor, so he’ll feel right at home behind the wheel of the awesome 2019 Corvette ZR1 on Race Day.” This will be the 15th time a Corvette has served as the official Pace Car, starting in 1978, and the 29th time a Chevrolet has led the field, dating back to 1948, when a 1948 Fleetmaster Six convertible paced the race. No other vehicle has served as the Pace Car more than the Corvette. “It will be great to have Victor behind the wheel of the 2019 Corvette ZR1, the fastest, most powerful, most advanced performance production Corvette ever,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. Vice President Performance Vehicles and Motorsports for Chevrolet. “I can’t wait for Victor to experience that performance, along with the energy and anticipation of all the fans, as he leads the field to the green flag at the iconic Indy 500.” The 2019 Corvette ZR1 Pace Car features: •LT5 small block 6.2L supercharged V-8 engine with 755-hp and 715 lb.-ft. of torque •8-speed 8L90 paddle-shift automatic transmission •ZTK Performance Package, which features a stanchion-mounted adjustable carbon-fiber high rear wing, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and performance suspension •Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ •Brembo® Carbon Ceramic brake system •ZR1 chrome-aluminum wheels: 19-inch front and 20-inch rear •Standard Performance Traction Management and Electronic Limited-Slip Differential •Unique Indy 500 graphics package •GM Design fully-integrated safety strobe system •Performance Data and Video Recorder The Corvette ZR1 Pace Car can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2.85 seconds and reach a top track speed of 212 mph, the fastest Corvette in history. Chevrolet has a storied history with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Chevrolet was founded in 1911, the year of the inaugural 500-Mile Race, and company cofounder Louis Chevrolet, along with brothers Arthur and Gaston, competed in early Indy 500 races. Arthur Chevrolet competed in the 1911 race, and Gaston Chevrolet won it in 1920. Visit IMS.com to purchase tickets for the 102nd Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil on Sunday, May 27 and for more information on the complete Month or May schedule at IMS. The race also will be televised live on ABC, with the pre-race show starting at 11 a.m. (ET).
