Many fans reacted to the latest sighting of Oladipo.

Evan Sidery: "Awesome to see Victor Oladipo appearing on NBA Today as an analyst.

Before the injuries, Oladipo had blossomed into an elite two-way wing for the Pacers.

Oladipo hasn’t officially retired, but it would be fun to see him continue with bringing analysis."
