Top NBA player's team wins State going away.

Watch the videos where Brian Scalabrine plays one-on-one against guys who were All-State in high school or played at Power 5 programs (there's one where he plays a guy was on scholarship for a good Syracuse team).

There's levels to this and you could take a top NBA player and let the other team play with 7 and they'd still crush them. Look at what Allen Iverson did to Kobe & Shaq's Lakers in Game 1 of the 2001 finals. He's under 6'3 and can drop 48 on one of the most dominant teams in NBA history, but he couldn't drop 80 on Great Crossing or Frederick Douglass? Please.

Maybe if we're talking about putting a top NBA player who is under 6'0 or over 7'0 (and would have trouble getting into position on offense) on a really bad team and they had to win a huge State like California or Texas and you put them on the worst team in the lowest division and made them play against the biggest division and they'd possibly meet a team or teams with five or six D1 athletes and a future lottery pick, but there's no way they wouldn't breeze through Kentucky and it's asinine to think otherwise.
