Do you remember when..

First, there was Markieff Morris missing the beginning of the season due to sports hernia surgery. Who stepped up? None other than Kelly Oubre, Jr.

Whatever slump Oubre was going through towards the end of the season, one cannot forget how he helped carry the team in the beginning of the season.

Sometimes we reach a certain point in life and forget the help we had along the way.

It was an exciting start of the 2017-18 season, with Oubre hanging-and-banging with the best of them.

There were a lot of games where the Wizards’ starters started of with no energy and lost the first quarter. Who gave them life? Oubre and the second-unit. His energy woke the Wizards up many games.

Pause for a moment. Oubre stepped up when Keef down. Thank you Mr. Oubre.
