Former NBA player Dajuan Wagner’s 100 point game in High School has become somewhat legendary, but no-one has seen full footage of his highlights until now.
Courtesy of Hoopmixtape’s Nils Wagner, every point of Wagner’s triple digit game can be viewed, as he went 42 of 60 from the field on the night in a 157-67 shellacking of a conference opponent, Gloucester Township
Tech.
Wagner hit 100 with 3:49 left in the fourth quarter on the fateful night on January 16, 2001. At the time, he was the first high school player in more than 20 years to score at least 100 points in a game and the 13th ever to accomplish the feat
The Memphis-bound senior point guard cracked the 50-point barrier on four occasions that season. Wagner had 46 points at halftime and 72 entering the fourth quarter, and broke state and school marks with his 100 point game – his 10 3-pointers broke the school record, which was set by Greg Barr in 1994.
He averaged 42.5 points as a senior, scored 3,462 points in high school (the most in New Jersey high school history, breaking former high school star Lorne Singleton’s scoring record of 3,451 points) and is considered by many to be the greatest high school basketball player in New Jersey history.
What did happened to him after this game? He played one year of college basketball at the University of Memphis before being selected with the sixth overall pick of the 2002 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. After a solid rookie season, Wagner was hampered by injuries and health problems.
After averaging a career low 4.0 points in only 11 games played during the 2004-05 season, he was hospitalized for ulcerative colitis. The Cavaliers did not exercise their option on his contract for the 2005-06 season and subsequently Wagner was out of the league.
He is more well known for this 100 point game than any of his professional exploits, and now we can finally look back on it. Enjoy and share!
This paragraph is incorrect:

Cheryl Miller, Reggie's older sister, scored 105 in 1982.
Women's basketball is incorrect.
JT Gilhooky Cheryl was a two time national player of the year; men or women. She'd destroy you.
Please don't compare Men's basketball with Women's basketball. Women's basketball is awful it's like watching paint dry, 99.99 % of the country would agree.
JT Gilhooky That mentality of yours- it's called sexism. Grouping people into demographics- that's racism. I'm going to skip on both because it'd be a stretch to accuse you of either, but you should really be more open minded, especially when you have no clue what you're talking about. Cheryl was considered the greatest athlete in the country for two straight years. That's not gender specific. That means she'd wreck anybody she played against and at the time, she was proving it on a regular basis going up against men. The WNBA is not a joy to watch, but you're ignoring the incomparable talent of Cheryl Miller and whether you change your opinion or not, one thing that isn't based on opinion is the fact that the girl popped 105 in 1982.
Robert Colianni Shut up and enjoy the video, fool.
Matt Seidle I already did. Don't ever call me a fool, again. Especially when I'm correcting somebody that was wrong and misinformed.
Robert Colianni you're a self righteous FOOL!!
Robert Colianni haha shut up you fool
JT Gilhooky Easy to be a pussy when you're wrong, huh?
Robert Colianni Dude, stop. I love women's basketball, but Cheryl Miller was not better than Michael Jordan and Clyde Drexler in 1982.
Mike Gregory 23ppg and 12rpg with a gold medal and Naismith POY honors says differently.
So your gonna say she would beat MJ or drew let dude come on. Does Cheryl have u like trapped in a basement and won’t let u honor something dude?
Robert Colianni Seriously fool, chill. I'm tired of seeing that ugly ass mug of yours on my notification screen.
ps: shave the beard.
But I bet she's better than you fools now!
Matt Seidle Graduate high school, you pussy fuck. I'm a fucking god. You look like you were recently beaten with a sledgehammer.
Robert Colianni have manners if you're gonna be a gay guy at least don't be a douchebag at the same time
Ak Eztospray Dre Read everything. I did have manners, but a crew of degenerates decided to throw low blows. I throw back.
Robert Colianni is butt hurt that he is a pussy everybody.
