Kehinde Babatunde Victor Oladipo (/ˌoʊləˈdiːpoʊ/ OH-lə-DEE-poh;[1] born May 4, 1992)[2] is a Nigerian-American former professional basketball player who is currently a sports analyst for ESPN.

That year, he was also named the winner of the Adolph Rupp Trophy, given annually to the top player in men's NCAA Division I basketball.

Despite an injury-riddled 2018–19 season, including a season-ending injury in January 2019, Oladipo was named an Eastern Conference All-Star reserve for the second straight year.

[15] Sources: Oladipo chose to play basketball at Indiana University Bloomington and major in sports communication broadcasting, turning down offers from Notre Dame, Maryland, Xavier and others.

[15] He earned his first career start against Penn State on December 27 and responded with 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting, four rebounds, three steals, and two assists in 27 minutes of action.

[21] Midway through the season, ESPN reporter Eamonn Brenann wrote, "In 2½ seasons in Bloomington, Oladipo has morphed from a raw athletic specimen to a defensive specialist/energy glue guy – he became a hit with IU fans for holding his hand in front of his face after dunks at home, typically after a steal he himself created – into a sudden, stunning, bona fide collegiate star.

[15] On April 9, 2013, at a press conference with Tom Crean, Oladipo announced his decision to forgo his senior season at Indiana and enter the 2013 NBA draft.

[26] The last time that two players had recorded their first career triple-doubles in the same game was when Detroit Pistons' pair Donnie Butcher and Ray Scott did it on March 14, 1964 (they were not rookies).

[37] Five days later, he recorded his second career triple-double with 21 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in a double-overtime loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Head coach Scott Skiles moved Oladipo to a bench role for the Magic's November 25 game against the New York Knicks.

[43] On June 23, 2016, Oladipo was traded, along with Ersan İlyasova and the draft rights to Domantas Sabonis, to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Serge Ibaka.

[49] On March 7, 2017, Oladipo returned to the starting lineup after missing six games with back spasms and scored 16 points in a 126–121 loss to Portland.

[51] In his debut for the Pacers in their season opener on October 18, Oladipo had 22 points, five rebounds, four steals and four assists in a 140–131 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

[53] On October 29, he had 23 points and five assists and knocked down a step-back 3-pointer with 10 seconds left to propel Indiana a 97–94 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

[55][56] On December 10, he had a career-high 47 points and added seven rebounds and six assists to lead the Pacers to a 126–116 overtime win over the Denver Nuggets.

[61] He became the fourth player in Pacers history with at least 30 points and six 3-pointers in a postseason game, joining Reggie Miller, Chuck Person and Paul George.

[66] On November 3, 2018, Oladipo's 3-pointer with 3.4 seconds remaining gave Indiana a 102–101 comeback victory over the Boston Celtics, as he finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds.

[71] On January 4, he scored 36 points and made a 3-pointer from just above the top of the arc with 0.3 seconds left in overtime to lift the Pacers to a 119–116 win over the Chicago Bulls.

[72] On January 23 against the Toronto Raptors, Oladipo suffered a ruptured quad tendon in his right knee,[73][74] which ruled him out for the rest of the season.

Coming off the bench for the Pacers, he scored 9 points in 21 minutes of playing time, including a game-tying three-pointer, in an overtime win over the Chicago Bulls.

[79] After the game, an emotional Oladipo dedicated the shot to Kobe Bryant and eight other lives lost in a California helicopter crash, three days prior.

[80] Oladipo initially announced that he would sit out during the restart of the NBA season,[81] but ultimately committed to play after continued rehab of his quadriceps tendon.

[87] On March 25, 2021, Oladipo was traded to the Miami Heat in exchange for Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk and a 2022 draft pick swap.

[92] In the Heat's regular season finale on April 10, Oladipo logged a season-high 40 points, alongside ten rebounds and seven assists, in a 111–125 loss to the Orlando Magic.

On July 6, 2023, Oladipo was traded back to the Oklahoma City Thunder, alongside two future second-round draft picks, in exchange for cash considerations.

[97] The Thunder traded Oladipo and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to the Houston Rockets on October 17, just before the start of the regular season, for Kevin Porter Jr. and two future second-round draft picks.

[98] On February 1, 2024, before ever playing for Houston, Oladipo was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies along with three future second-round picks in exchange for Steven Adams.

[102] Indiana coach Tom Crean would frequently attribute Oladipo's success to his extreme work ethic and pre-game preparation of reviewing film.
