I don’t blame him for trying 

He should have tried to make that bum ass Team USA roster that just did FIBA qualifiers, would have had legit eyeballs on him.

Euroleague is ready my man. Enjoy Paris, Monaco or some Greek/Turkish city and play some good ball. 

I’m rooting for him, but this makes me kinda sad

Poor guy, sad what injuries did to him. 

Bro was on the Bucks G league team last year. If he couldn’t get a shot with a very bad Bucks team, IDK what he thinks anyone else is going to offer him

This shit is super sad.

My least favorite part about basketball is watching players grapple with the fact that their bodies don’t have it anymore. Feels like Isaiah Thomas all over again.

Just go to Europe or something man 

He was trending toward great before injury derailed his career. I’m rooting for him.

Brother you’re 34 years old and haven’t touched an NBA court in 3 years and haven’t been good in 8. It’s over.

You made $100m+ in his career, just retire and enjoy life man. This is sad

Just go to the big 3. He’s got the charisma.

It sucks when you’re the last one to realize that you’re done 🥀

There was a great interview with R9 (all time great football player) a few years ago and said that he couldnt let the game go. He wanted to play so bad but his body didnt let him anymore and was depressed for months after his retirement.

Once it becomes such an important part of your life, it’s no longer just the money, its the routine, the people, the competition that you miss.

I imagine Oladipo is struggling with the same thing.

Oladipo is 34. Does he really stand a chance to come back with his injury woes?

hire an agent man. fuck is this

just looking at his g league stats.. is he expecting a miracle when scouts watch him working out with handy?

I hope he’s not doing this because he needs the money

I’ll be there, need someone for my YMCA team

I always really liked Dipo, sad that the injuries absolutely derailed his career as quickly as they did.  

Not sure what he has left in the tank, but I hope another team gives him one more shot and he can still be a solid contributor. 

He made 120m. Hes fine.

Why hasn’t he joined the g league? Seems like a perfect way to show he’s past his injuries. I’m sure it wouldn’t take long for a team to pick him up if he really does have something left.

I swear I think I remember doing this last year.

I’d be willing to sign him.

The pay is $0, he’ll be required to be on my team for any pickup basketball game I ever play, but he’ll get free donuts. He has to pay for the donuts first, but after that it’s free.

Sad man

I feel like the NBL (Australian League) would snap him up

This feels like Eddie Kane in his old 5 Heartbeats outfit still trying to sing.

Respect

Good luck to him. He was scary 2017-18

No need to feel sad for him. He was injured and has the drive to train and get in shape.  Probably just wants to go out on his own terms instead of not being able to play

SHOULD HAVE accepted the GENERATIONAL BAG they were trying to give him. Greed killed his earnings potential. Oh well, nice dude. Good luck bro.

What if nobody shows up?

career earnings: $125 million

Then enjoy plenty of amateur days after.

If Victor Oladipo has no fans, it’s because I am dead.

Go kill it Vic.

Oh Vic, how far you’ve fallen…

This is sad. Dude just wants to play ball again

Oh just give it up there buddy

I want to see Victor win.

get this man a two way at least 

some kid needs to hire him for a bar mitzvah

This thread is further confirmation that redditors are absolute losers

NBL, come play in the Australian summer

Would be awesome to see him play well in a smaller role for a couple years, like grant hill or drose later in their careers…

RESPECT. Hope he has a good tryout.

He probably still could be a nice bench player. The problem will be convincing someone to invest money in you when there’s a high probability you just get injured.

Fuck everyone and they moms down in Vegas rn for something basketball related

Why now?

I loved him as a player, but bro, you’re 34 now with a string of serious injuries. It’d be a Disney sports movie if this works out for him. Enjoy retirement or play overseas for some easy money.

This ngga think he 50cent

He’s 34 & earned over $100 million in his career. But still doesn’t think he’s done. Kinda sad.

he averaged 13 points in 30 mins per game on 38% fg in the gleague last season. hes cooked

People who should have the money he has do not behave this desperately.

This is 100% because he needs money but he’s still so far up his own ass that he’s advertising for “NBA/Professional” personnel. So he’s desperate but only if you’re NBA level.

This is like someone saying I’m available but only if you’re a model in perfect shape and super rich.

Everyone saying “he’s doing it because he loves basketball.” Well there are many other places to play and many other ways to contribute but he doesn’t seem interested in exploring those options. It just tells me that actually no, he’s not all that interested in playing unless it fits exactly what he wants.

Hey, it’s his right to pursue whatever but dude needs to get a grip on reality already.

Big 3 is hiring

Will there be snacks?

“Can I come play with y’all?”

I’m guessing this is not a financial decision. He’s made $125m in his career, so he has had a way above average nba career in terms of earnings. And if he was hurting for cash, he’d probably have more luck getting paid overseas. He definitely wouldn’t have toiled away in the G league last year.

Seems like he just wants to find a way to be in the NBA, which is very commendable. It doesn’t seem like the talent is still there because of all the injuries, but he has an outside shot at getting a contract for veteran leadership.

I thought he was pretty washed up? Can’t he play in China or another league? Or do they not even want him?

It’s honestly insane how a lot of these guys have nothing to pivot to or fall back on once their playing career is over. This is obvious desperation for money and stability and status. I hope it all works out for him it’d be fun seeing him play in the league again.
