Watch Victor Oladipo’s View on NBA Draft Day Through His Google Glass [Video]

Ex-Indiana and current Orlando Magic basketballer/singer, American of Nigerian descent Victor Oladipo wore Google Glass on NBA Draft day, so we should presumably have his firsthand account from the Green Room.

But, later authorities did not allow this, the Second overall pick was forced to remove the glasses before being seated. So, we got to see some cool stuff before and after, but The Verge’s exclusive was sort of ruined.

Still, it’s worth a watch. Watch video under:



As for why he couldn’t wear them, The Verge summed it up pretty well:

It’s not exactly clear why the NBA decided that Victor shouldn’t wear Glass at the draft, but it’s disappointing; only an incredibly select few know what it’s like to walk up the stairs and across that stage to shake David Stern’s hand as your life changes forever, and Victor’s first-person video would have given the rest of us a glimpse of that moment. It would have been amazing.

But Glass is weird and new, and the NBA is not known for loving weird and new



Victor Oladipo is the son of Nigerian parents mother Joan Amanze Oladipo and father Christopher Oladipo who immigrated to the US in the 1985.
