Josh Smith Drops 53

Josh Smith is four years removed from his high school days, but we figured we’d take a walk down memory lane. Smith was a beast at Oak Hill Academy (VA), and probably cost Indiana’s coach at the time, Mike Davis, his job by deciding to make the jump straight to the pros. Take a gander at this highlight video we found of Smith dropping 53 points at an all-star game in New Jersey. The alley-oop at five seconds just ain’t right man.

    Maybe lipton should give him a contract seeing as he already promotes them….

    He really didn’t play hard alot , I saw him play like a dog some games in high school . A kid at villanova named Shane Clark scored 30 points on Josh like it was nothing during his senior season .

    Jay Bilas saw this stuff as well

    Good Lord… that dude was crazy back then. He is now too of course. What’s up the the 3 point barrage? Can I get some mid range?

  6. bballinca says:

    Does anyone want to play some D in that video?

  7. Tha Boddy says:

    Defense there is no D in All-Star…hahaha

  8. Diego says:

    Bilas absolutely railed against the Josh Smith draft pick–which was only about pick no. 17! Shows Bilas don’t know jack!!

    I agree with 6… I know alot of cats that could do that, well not that sic dunk on the oop, but the 53pts, w/o D.

    A National Title wouldn’t have saved Mike Davis :

    1) He replaced a Legened and at the last minute

    2) He was a militant brother in the wrong neck of the woods (he made too many people nervous)

    You guys are falling off!!!!

    forget the alley at 0.05… the alley at 0.28 was INSANE. Dude could have bit down on the rim

  15. T Dubbs says:

    Josh Smith is just downright talented. I think he’s the only guy in the league right now that can go out and average 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks per night.

    The thing that pissed me off last year was he played lazy sometimes, and he’d get into some unnecessary foul trouble. I hope he doesn’t pull a “Sheed” and waste his talent away.
