ORLANDO – Orlando Magic standout guard Victor Oladipo believes so strongly in well-being of the children in Central Florida that he was willing to give the shoes off his feet on Tuesday.
On hand at Rosemont Elementary School to support the Magic’s ``Hoops for Hunger’’ program, Oladipo was approached by a young student who asked for his autograph. Oladipo surprised the little girl by taking a black and blue trimmed shoe – one with VO 5 sewn onto the tongue – off his foot and autographed it for the child. Later, he did the same thing for a Rosemont Elementary teacher, forcing the second-year NBA player to send someone to his vehicle for a backup pair of navy blue slides.
