If you saw the game last night with the Thunder & Magic then you know the duo of Kevin Durant & Russell Westbrook combined to score 91 points and helped bring home the win. The Magic however have their own up and coming star in Victor Oladipo and he apparently has made quite the impression on KD.

Durant is one of Oladipo’s biggest supporters, and Durant has served as a mentor of sorts to Oladipo ever since they first met during the summer of 2013.
“I know this may sound maybe a little too early,” Durant said, “but he reminds me a lot of Dwyane Wade in his body, his athleticism and how he gets to the basket. I’m not saying he’s Dwyane Wade, but he reminds me a lot of him. He’s definitely looking forward to taking on that role.”
Considering what Wade has accomplished thus far, that is a big compliment for a young player. I’m sure Victor would be happy retiring with a few rings like Wade will. For now, he has to focus on making the Magic a contender in a weak eastern conference.
