NBA sensation Victor Oladipo is once again making waves on social media, this time for his unexpected foray into football.

The NBA star, currently with the Houston Rockets, caught the spotlight after meeting with Real Madrid’s star defender, David Alaba.

Oladipo, born in the United States to Nigerian parents, maintains a strong connection with his roots and engages in Afrobeat music during his off-court moments.

In a surprising twist, the basketball star and Alaba, who share Nigerian heritage despite being born in Austria, had a meeting. Oladipo, showcasing his admiration for the Real Madrid player, took to social media to share the exciting encounter and flaunted a personalized Real Madrid jersey he received.

Expressing his enthusiasm, Oladipo captioned the post, “Buroda Mi, @davidalaba 🫱🏾‍🫲🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿🇳🇬🇺🇸🇵🇭.”

Highlighting Alaba‘s connection to Nigeria, the footballer recently presented a Real Madrid jersey to President Bola Tinubu.
