This Iguodala high school highlight clip is why I don't take highlight vids serious

Now mind you, this is a "best of" that somebody put together. Some nice plays, but nothing otherworldly spectacular. I mean, you wouldn't look at this clip and think "He's gonna be in the NBA one day" let alone, Finals MVP.

Fast forward to today and we see random video clips of high school players doing insane dunks and crossovers that would put Iguodala's video to shame. Many of those guys won't even sniff the league.

What? :what:

Dudes athleticism is on a different level in that video, arms long as hell, super fluid, wiry muscle.

The different between today and then is the lack of quality footage. Iggy would have a sick tape.

Yes I would. Just pure potential wise, he looked as good as just about any high school player I've ever seen.

All those plays came on Bradley University floor. Clearly that was just a highlight film compiled while at a tournament or at state or something. I hope you didn't think the best Iggy had to offer his whole high school career was a 2 min "Best of..." compiled over one weekend :mjlol:

Even if we did go by this tape alone, he looks legit still. Not every school is Montverde, where all the best players you'll ever see in high school are on one floor. At any regular high school game, if that Iggy showed up, you'd be going crazy at what you just saw a "high school kid" do.

Many ppl have this dude as an NBA lock only because they see shyt like this




And even Bill Self missed the boat on Iguodala when he was coach at Illinois. I was like :dahell: when he wasn't offered a scholarship
