Victor Oladipo was involved in a lot of trade rumors in this off-season. Which suggested he would leave the Indiana Pacers especially after the Pacers collapse against the Miami Heat in the NBA Bubble. Oladipo suggested that he was in a state of shock about the comments thrown at him in the news and media. The Pacers star was definitely hurt amid these rumor talks about what was being said about him. But has learnt how to put it behind him. 

There is no doubt that the Indiana Pacers have a mammoth task going ahead in the 2020-21 season. Having to face re-built and stronger quads than them. He recently spoke about this situation to SiriusXM NBA Radio and justified his opinion. 

“I’m over it” Victor Oladipo on getting past off season rumors 

“That’s not my reputation to be a guy like that. It was kind of surprising that they would even put that out without facts. And, you know, it’s OK. I guess that is a part of life, it is a part of this business, things like that happen.”

“But at the end of the day, I know myself. And at the end of the day, I can’t control what they write or what they say, but I know who I am as a person. And I know I would never do any of the things they said,” Oladipo said. 

“My teammates know that as well, and you can ask anyone and they will tell you. Even people around the league, they know what kind of person I am. For them to put that out, it was unfortunate.” 

“At first, you know, you kind of get upset,” he said. “Because you’re like ‘Wow, they’re trying to tarnish my name, and I didn’t even do anything to them’. But at the end of the day, you learn not to even put your energy towards nonsense, and you focus on things that really matter.” 

Oladipo concluded by saying that his primary focus is on the upcoming NBA season and helping the Pacers achieve success. “It is unfortunate, you know, that it kind of happened like that, but I’m over it. I’m focused on my knee and playing the game I love and helping the Pacers win a championship. All that other stuff really is irrelevant.”
