Victor Oladipo had easily the best season of his career in 2017-18. He's favored to win the league's Most Improved Player award with good reason.
He made his first All-Star team this season and averaged 23.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 2.4 steals per game. His two-way dominance was most impressive. Oladipo led the Pacers to surprising a lot of people this season, and he even went toe-to-toe with LeBron James at several points of the first round.
That said, however, Oladipo's season didn't end the way he wanted it to. His Pacers were eliminated from the playoffs with a 105-101 loss in Game 7 in Cleveland Sunday.
Oladipo didn't dwell on the loss for too long. Immediately after the game, he texted his trainer asking when they could start working.
The game ended at approximately 3:55 p.m. EST, so Oladipo texted the trainer roughly 10-15 minutes after it wrapped up. Clearly he's a man on a mission.
Cleveland moves on to face Toronto in the second round, with the first game set for Tuesday in The Six at 8 p.m. ET.
