VIDEO: A Vintage Victor Oladipo Sings Usher

Any fan of this season’s Victor Oladipo Show knows the IU junior guard loves to sing—in fact, this week’s Sports Illustrated profile says he was a better singer than shooter when he arrived at IU three years ago. Fans also know Number 4 has a way with the crowd, electrifying arenas single-handedly with fast-break dunks. But do his moves hold up off the court? You decide—here’s a two-year-old video of Oladipo, in a country-clubby cardigan, performing at an IU event as a freshman, making a suave through-the-crowd entrance and crooning Usher’s “U Got It Bad.”
