No, he was just under the radar playing in Minnesota. Now he's in a city that's smack dab in the middle of the spotlight.
Ten year veteran and 36 years old. He must have done something good to stay in the league this long. To get a contract at that age would be an achievement.
actually it is how bad he is on the court that got him this contract........I mean they waived earl watson when they could have just let him backup Westbrook...but Watson would have demanded 20 minutes per game while Ollie, because he is so useless on the court...will just be happy hes paid 1.5 million to do nothing but shout encouragement to westbrook... if kevin ollie could do anything on the court that demands minutes then I dont know if OKC would've signed him. kinda like a really expensive assistant coach great signing by the way. now imagine if they were able to get Okafor in that trade OKC passed up...
