25-year-old Oladipo Victor is a Nigerian sportsman doing us proud on the international basketball scene. The Indiana Pacers’ point guard was named the Most Valuable player in Saturday’s 2017 NBA Africa Game between Team Africa and Team World at the Ticketpro Dome in Johannesburg which the latter won 108-97.

“It’s something that I will never forget, winning the MVP,” Oladipo began during the interview with NBA.com. I’m just happy to be here to experience it. This country (South Africa) is huge. I had an awesome time and we did a great job trying to encourage the youths. Representing Nigeria means everything to me. Green white green is what I bleed and I’m proud of it.”
