Fans Link Heat’s Victor Oladipo To Barbershop Lap Dance Video
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo has struggled to return to his 2018-19 All-Star form over the past few years, but it hasn’t been for a lack of effort.
The one-time All-Defensive First Team member has been bogged down by a myriad of injuries that have prevented him from earning consistent minutes. That said, when he does play – Oladipo looks good.
In the playoffs last season he averaged 10.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 24.5 minutes per game over the course of 15 playoff outings. Thanks in part to his efforts, Miami came within one Jimmy Butler three of the NBA Finals.
Oladipo has been hard at work all summer working to return to his All-Star caliber self, so it’s easy to imagine his likely surprise when he saw why he was trending on Twitter late Wednesday afternoon.

Miami changes a man. This why Tyler Herro didn’t wanna be traded. https://t.co/jC0qiXPTKh

Now, to be clear, the man in that video really doesn’t appear to be Oladipo. A point some fans attempted to highlight:
that’s not een bro, y’all funny as hell https://t.co/67pM3a1H0p

But it didn’t matter to the internet. When Twitter gets going, there’s no stopping that train.
It will be interesting to see if Oladipo comes out and addresses this situation at all. He felt the need to do so when there was all that chatter about him and Butler beefing.
This is obviously a different story, though.

On the heels of a crazy summer for the Heat, one that saw Tyler Herro get exposed and Butler make some questionable decisions, this most recent viral drama is just par for the course.
Stay tuned. If Oladipo actually addresses this video in any capacity, the man will undoubtedly go down as an all-time legend on the internet.
