He was doing push-ups. He had just hit a game-winning 3-pointer to lead an improbable comeback that saved the Pacers from an embarrassing loss, and he was doing push-ups.
"I missed a free throw," Victor Oladipo said.
"A friend of mine, we have a little thing going. If I miss a free throw, I have to do push-ups."
OK, so Oladipo did 10 pushups before his courtside conversation with Fox Sports Indiana's Jeremiah Johnson following the Pacers' 98-96 victory over Chicago at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Wednesday. Most likely, the fans will forgive him for that transgression since he happened to hit a transition 3-pointer with 30.
