While Moses Malone became the first player to jump from high school the professional basketball, it wasn't as easy as simply entering the draft. Back then, the +NBA  had arcane rules that tried to prevent players from leaving college early, and it took the advent of the ABA to push the NBA to allow hardship cases.

Moses Malone's storied career outshines many other players that jumped straight from the high school ranks. Was it better than +Kobe Bryant?  +Kevin Garnett? Looking at his whole body of work, and in particular who he had to battle against, and this answer becomes more clear.

You can find more great video from +Coach Nick and +BBALLBREAKDOWN right here on +Slap Dog Hoops and be sure to keep tuned to SDH for its Preseason Worst to First Countdown where we preview and predict the fates of all thirty franchises in the association.
