Victor Oladipo is only in his fourth year in the NBA, but an upcoming trip to the postseason, a first in his career, makes the Indiana University product very anxious to get his feet wet.
He’s no grizzled veteran hungry for some playoff action by any means, but the excitement is something worth mentioning about Oladipo who confesses to how the anticipation makes him feel.
Victor Oladipo said he's like a "baby at Christmas" looking forward to his first postseason. Didn't make it first three seasons with ORL.

The Oklahoma City Thunder currently hold the sixth seed in the crowded Western Conference playoff race, and a pairing with the Golden State Warriors is still very much possible, making the hype train gain more momentum in case of a dream matchup.
But regardless of who the Thunder are facing, the playoff ride is always a treat with triple-double threat and MVP candidate Russell Westbrook leading the team. Oladipo is Oklahoma City’s designated running mate for Westbrook, forming an energetic duo and a menacing defensive tandem just right for the rugged and intense postseason wars.
