The NBA Playoffs started this weekend with Victor Oladipo staring down LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The second overall pick of the 2013 NBA Draft was in complete control. And when his team needed a big shot, he was the one who delivered.
The Cavaliers thought they could come back and erase the 23-point lead this young team had built. And Oladipo buried them with a 3-pointer. Right between the eyes. And through the heart. The Quicken Loans Arena filed out of the arena.
The young team was coming of age, upsetting the conference favorites.
