Victor Oladipo: I have no doubt I can get my body back to feeling at an All-Star level

“I’m still that guy,” said Victor Oladipo, who made third-team All-NBA in 2018. “Now I just got to get my body back to feeling like it’s at an All-Star level, which takes time. I have no doubt in my mind that I can.”
