Though he wasn’t born in Indiana, but if there’s anyone who has absolutely made himself am honorary Hoosier, it’s Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo.
Oladipo’s career won’t directly parallel that of Reggie Miller, one of the final players from an era where you typically ended your career where you started it if you were a competitor.
Keeping stars in place was Indiana’s calling card for some time, and the way the Paul George era ended sticks firmly in the forefront of the fanbase’s mind. George abrasively introduced Pacers fans to the new way of operating as a star in the NBA — if something doesn’t work and you’re a star player, you up and leave and find a situation that offers you more comfortability and opportunity to win.
