Miami Heat veteran Victor Oladipo has been working out with former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Russell Westbrook this summer as the two prepare for what they've dubbed their upcoming “revenge tour.” On Friday, Oladipo sent a special message to the Los Angeles Lakers star amid what has been a rocky offseason for him.
Oladipo shared a couple of photos of himself with Westbrook after what looks like another workout session between the pair. It is clear that the Heat guard will always have his buddy's back:
“might not be on the same team, but we’re still on the same team,” Oladipo wrote in his caption.
