Again, I know that he did all of that against high school kids who are probably doing keg stands and majoring in "wasting my parents' money" right now, but the people who dismiss highlight mixtapes are just as bad as those who think every high school phenom is the next Jordan. I get it: "Anyone can look great against Avon High School, but can they do it against Duke in the Final Four?!" But who in their right mind would think that Gordon will bring the ball up against Duke in the Final Four, cross over Jabari Parker, spin off of Rodney Hood, and dunk so hard on Rasheed Sulaimon that Sulaimon gets a concussion?
