I never understood how people DON'T want to emulate the sky hook. I always thought it looked amazing. It always looked so effortless and graceful and besides that its effective as shit. Even if you aren't 7 feet tall you are shooting it away from your defender so its much harder to block and contest. Lets see someone bring this back in today's game.

@bordertown 7 жыл бұрын

It takes time to master and requires tons of patience. Kareem practiced it day in and day out since fifth grade. It wasn't uncommon to see players from the 50s, 60s, and 70s do hooks. Now it's all but dead. I'm not 7 feet tall but have practiced it quite a bit and still struggle to maintain consistent accuracy. How Kareem managed to pull it off from almost any angle and distance (with rarely any use of the backboard) and still average over 50% from the field in 30 years of playing is incredible. Much respect to anyone who can bring this back.

You could very easily make a case that he was the greater player to Jordan. Added 30 wins to the team he was drafted to. Has the record for most Mvps won with 6. Has 6 rings in total. Most points scored EVER. Was the greatest collegiate basketball player to ever play. As soon as he entered the league, Wilt (whom was one of the proudest men to ever play the game) admitted that Kareem was the best big man in the league. From the time Kareem touched the hard wood to when he left it he was amazing, Jordan had a slow start and a poor ending. Kareem had a career of excellence.

Kareem wasn’t even the best player on his own team for half his career. Only got 2 FMVPs out of 6 rings, and the latter wasn’t deserved as Magic had an all-time Finals record 14.0 APG. Kareem also missed the playoffs twice in his prime without Oscar / Magic and played in the weakest NBA as the ABA took away many of his best competitors in the 1970s.

I just love how he shot a sky hook on a fast break against the Celtics! Only The Captain can do that!

Amazing especially from the baseline to the right of the basket. Super great to hear Chick Hearn too!

Everyone praised how 34yo Lebron was still in his prime This monster got an MVP final award back in 1985 at the age of 38, consistently played in the finals for the next 4 years, and got his last 2 rings when he was 40&41, who's still playing for starting lineup.

It looks like a robot playing basketball. The tempo, release, and movement of the shot are all so incredibly consistent.

What’s wild is he literally took just about all of these shots with the right hand. The defenders often knew it was coming, but they still couldn’t stop it. Amazing

He uses his other shoulder and body to block the opponent like an o lineman, so by the time you jump it's already too late. The only way I think to block it is to play off him and predict when he shoots it and jump maaad high, although he'd probably go to the paint and dunk it or shoot it from another area.

@SuperMisteryMan01 4 жыл бұрын

Statutory Grape wilt basically did what you’re talking about. Even then it was goaltending but he was much more older. He could still jump real high older but I think Wilt is the only one capable of blocking it. If not him then not anybody
