#3 Victor Oladipo (Indiana Pacers, Sierra Leone-Nigeria)
Although Victor Oladipo was born in Maryland, his mother Joan Amanze Oladipo was a Nigerian immigrant, while his father, Christopher Oladipo, a native of Blama, Sierra Leone.
Raised amongst three sisters, Kristine, Kendra and twin sister Victoria, he made his initial basketball strides while playing CYO basketball at St. Jerome Academy in Hyattsville, Maryland.
After two and a half seasons at Indiana University, Bloomington, Oladipo had become one of the nation's biggest stars and was drafted second overall by the Orlando Magic in the 2013 NBA draft. His latest stint with the Indiana Pacers has seen him turn into much more than just an explosive scorer.
Prior to this season, Oldipo was recording career-best numbers like 23.1 points and 2.1 steals per game. Currently a two-time All-Star, Oladipo is recovering steadily from what proved to be a season-ending quad injury this January.
