"A once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m glad you guys get to see it from my perspective."

Of course, by then the league was too late. Photos of Victor wearing Glass had spread across Twitter and Vine, and his unusual eyewear earned mentions from USA Today, Sports Illustrated, and ESPN. On the bus heading to the draft, the official NBA Twitter account even tweeted a photo of Victor wearing Glass to its 7.2 million followers, right before he was asked to take them off.

After he was picked second overall by the Orlando Magic, bloggers and Twitter users noted that Victor didn’t wear Glass on stage to meet David Stern. "I’m automatically docking Oladipo some style points for not wearing his Google Glasses to the stage," wrote Bleacher Report’s Matt King in his fashion review of the draft. "But still, the man has a very casual swag about him."

But even though Victor is one of the few people who look cool wearing Glass, he wasn’t just trying to make a fashion statement — at least other than choosing the clear lens accessory, which somehow works for him. Victor used Glass to record his entire draft experience.

"It’s been crazy," he tells me later. "A once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m glad you guys get to see it from my perspective."

"Come with me on the VO Show"

Victor actually borrowed and wore The Verge's Glass unit for three days, starting on Tuesday by spending some time figuring out how to use the device. The hardest part was just getting them fitted; once he could see the tiny screen, he instantly understood what to do. After only about five minutes of instructions and testing he was recording himself dribbling around the lobby of the Westin and asking Glass for directions to the Barclay’s Center, where Thursday’s draft was held.

Victor says he liked the feeling that he was hosting his own show — most of the videos he took feature him narrating what he’s seeing and how he’s feeling, as though he’s trying to remember it all through the chaos. It is a fascinating and wildly intimate glimpse of what it’s like to be a 21-year-old superstar in the making. "If you thought I was nervous yesterday, imagine how I’m feeling this morning," he says, looking out over New York from his hotel room on draft day. "Come with me on the VO Show."

"I actually took a video before I went to sleep," he says. "Then I did a video just after I woke up. The entire day was just so hectic, it was amazing. I got a video of getting my hair cut, where you’re looking at the barber and stuff like that. Getting dressed." His videos show the endless stream of people coming into his tiny hotel room on the day of the draft, a cavalcade of friends, teammates, former coaches, and various unidentified associates — the NBA made them all sign appearance releases because the league was filming a documentary on the draft, but Victor just shot his own story right alongside them.
