Description

Victor Oladipo's first_name entry in the roster API is set to "Kehinde" but should be Victor

Closing Comment

Still looking for data to support Oladipo's full name. If you have any, feel free to reopen this issue. Sticking with the information from the NBA Draft Guide for now.

The "first_name" is the player's legal first name. The source for Kehinde Babatunde Victor Oladipo is the 2013 NBA Draft Guide. It could be wrong, is it? The "display_name" is the name the player is commonly known by and used in box scores, rosters, etc.
