Pacers guard Victor Oladipo doesn’t only play basketball; he sings, too. And Oladipo put his vocals on display when he dropped his single, “Song For You,” on Thursday.

He’s not the first NBA player to sing a song.
Basketball players sometimes double as music artists. Both Damian Lillard and Iman Shumpert record music in their spare time and just might go at each other in a rap battle soon. No. 2 overall pick Lonzo Ball raps on the side, including the lyrics to his commercial for the new edition of his ZO2:Prime sneakers.
Oladipo’s even got some company on the singing front. Jerry Stackhouse, after all, performed the national anthem on multiple occasions. That takes balls, and a lot of practice. Ex-Knick and Celtic Walter McCarty also performed the national anthem and has since dropped quite a few songs since retiring in 2006.
I don’t have much of an opinion about Oladipo’s vocals. I’ll leave it to the pros to dissect his tone and pitch. But it’s cool that he’s finally put out a piece of work he feels proud of.
