Miami Heat: This Victor Oladipo Play In Utah Means As Much As Entire Stat Line

Playing in 11 games for the Miami Heat since starting off his season a little bit back, Oladipo has come on to make a vast impact for the squad.

Though modest with his averages of 9.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game on the year thus far, his real impact has been felt massively on the defensive side of the ball, and besides, he would go well beyond that on Saturday.

Finishing with 23 points, five rebounds, and five dimes, the final stat line wasn’t even the most impressive thing from the still-dynamic combo guard. And before you get all balled up into a knot, here out the logic.

Here is the play in question though.

While the dunk, itself, is always exciting, it’s especially exciting when someone gets dunked on. However, it’s still only two points.

So, why then, would this be more impressive than Oladipo’s entire stat line on the night? Well, it’s about who he is, where he’s at, and where he’s been.
