@@biraria stretching and flexibility drills, a dietitian early in his career and heeding the advice of a HOF'er, Moses Malone also helped.

Not really. Soccer helped tremendously. Footwork doesn't mean just where to place your feet. It weight distribution from the heel to the toes and vice versa. Dwight's is all upper body

@JK 2134 lol he said dietian what do you think they do? 😂

Yes he is but let’s not forget Dwight is the stiffest superstar ever

That's a double negative , freakin Dwight. Lol, if he did not learn nothing means that he had learned something. He probably didn't learn anything.

That's a compliment. Not a diss

@MUFC ???

@MUFC Ohh it won't be the most popular in 2070 B.C.? Good to know that.

It's a normal move used by Shaq, Kemp, Barkley, Malone in the 90's

​@@pwimetime6687 No it's not a normal move, it's small nuggets like that that Hakeem used in merit of moves all together. That's why everyone you named won how many titles in the 90s? It took Hakeem to slow down by the time Utah finally got to the finals. 😒 Hakeem is a top 3 All-Time center an the man is solidified top 7 all-time at best.

As is the little "hop" before catching the ball. An interesting detail.

​@@pureshooter7477Yes, the jump stop, waiting for the ball to come down

I believe that. Kobe was a true student of the game and probably wanted to know what The Dream did more than anyone else so he could have that little edge. Kobe would post up here and there in games too. Kobe had no problem using other people's moves and habits.

Kobe was a student of the game. That's why. I'm not even a huge Kobe fan, but dude worked his ass off and learned as much as possible

@@MikeBrown-go1pc that's a slight. Kobe is great. Played both ends of the floor. I'm assuming you're a bronsexual

austin78993 exactly

austin78993 couldn't agree more. However we live in an time where even analysts are preaching everyone to shoot 3's, and how post ups are inefficient. Such a nonsense but unfortunately people believe it.

which is why Kobe was so deadly

austin78993 I'm slow as hell and only 170lb. I live in the post.

RahulPresentsKobe Kobe revolutionized the dream shake

Dude is 50+ years old and 7 foot tall and still moves better then most of the big men in the NBA today.

Too bad there will not be another Olajuwon ever :( Howard is so clumsy compared to Hakeem. O'Neal was as clumsy as Howard is. Dunkan? Pffhhh... Maybe Davis is closer to Hakeem. Who else?.. Nobody else I guess.

Shpinga let Embiid

Shpinga let Embiid is actually the closest guy to Hakeem. But there's only one Dream

Serendipitous Bliss dude he next to howard look shorter, he aint no 7 footer.

@@googlemyself4091 Hakeem is 6'10 in shoes

That’s a good point. Hakeem did grow up playing soccer/football, and footwork is very important to stay balanced while doing the moves.

You can bet it did

Lebron's fadeaway in the post def came from his training w Hakeem

Kobe practiced harder.

@@Fordance100 Bricked harder too.

He seems to move without any startup acceleration. It doesn't look natural.

Disagree the 2000s was the best era imo .. guys who grew up on 80s basketball and hone their skills in the 90s . Have almost the same athleticism of today but more skilled than decade before them.. with MJ & Hakeem being the exceptions

HOW DO YOU TAG A PARTICULAR TIME IN THE VIDEO PLEASE? BEEN ASKING THIS GOT A WHILE.

You just type in number. No special.

Did u make some progress with this practice

3:25 travel , take off the base foot

@andrijamiranovic2663 a Lot . But detail, though, needs to be added a lot

🤦🏿‍♂️

Dwight is such an dumbass

I know right...EVERYONE watching this video learned something-EVERYONE. Dwight's so silly. Pay him no mind.

If you can separate the realness from the rhetoric and not take everything literally or at face value, you can obviously see the wisdom in what Dwight said. He was saying he can be out on the court and bang and slash and dunk and do whatever for hours on end, and still learn nothing. Yet it only takes nothing more than a single motion for Hakeem to analyze and show them the smallest most slightest thing to adjust like what pivot foot to use at a given moment and that changes and elevates their post game up to another level! Hakeem the dream shaker!!!

@@TheDarkphx the knock on Dwight as stated from GMs and beat writers who covered him at his many stops: 1. Bad locker room presence 2. Doesnt work hard 3. Doesnt play hard 4. Stubborn That is realness. I want him to succeed, but I won't, can't, ignore his actions and past. We can all agree at minimum it was a poorly worded sentence.

Man here in Houston we hated the Sonics! Those were some great games. Kemp and Horry with monster dunks. Payton was a killer and would get in everyones head. I went to the games in Houston against your Sonics. Those teams matched up great and yall knew how to beat us. Good times!

Pete the Pirate my dad would always tell me the Jazz were hated the most, especially here in Houston. Stockton was one of those crafty/dirty guards who did everything in the book to get his game going, or get you off yours. My dad would tel me stories of Karl Malone’s big ass flopping whenever Sam Cassell would run into him, even tho Karl has easily 100lbs on Cassell

I go back even further. The sonics team with Chambers, Dale Ellis, and the X-Man used to give us fits!! I hated them muthfkrs!!😆

Alex Kiriman yeah wilt is horribly underrated

I agree with you. On several occasions even Shaq has said that Hakeem was the better player. Dream was dominant on both sides of the floor. And Shaq said Hakeem is the one player he couldn't get into his head. Shaq could never rattle Hakeem mentally.

@@ATLienForLife True, shaq himself has said that the dream is his favorite centre, he always choose him in his top five

@Mark Grace True. Shaq's past twitch muscle and excess power is what made him dominant. He can't even shoot for shit ffs.

And then there's JaVale McGee

That's how the players are taught now. Shifting your pivot foot will give you advantage and is too small to be called a traveling. Players are taught to win, not taught to follow the rules.

@@matrixin1999 more like refs are taught not to call travels 🤭

You’re right!

thank you, I was watching the move at 2:17 and had to run it frame by frame trying to see how he did that in one dribble. lol

this is showing IQ like a true player...solving problem on their unique way....and where is Lebron on the list -selling shoes unstoppably?

James Harden 18-second dribble shot

Iverson didn't invent crossover...even variation he does is bite, Jordan fadeaway jump shot is from his brother Larry, O'Neal is bulshit, Mchale respect, Hakeem respect, Ginobili's eurostep is actually made in Yugoslavia - normal basic move there, Curry' s quick release is for kids, watch Reggie or Petrović..you forgot Shamgod crossover- also bite from croatian player Danko Kićanović

@Alex Kiriman Jordan is the one who started that turnaround fadeaway jumpshot. Kobe pretty much patterned his game after Jordan. Notwitski copied that move from Jordan also. Harden uses it now, but he step back dribble first then fadeaway.

@@ceegun O'Neal drop step was a move he used to overpower opponents in the paint. He used his 300 pound frame to unleash that move. And that move usually results with a ferocious tomahawk dunk. Shaq was an unstoppable 300 pound monster in the paint, but that was his go-to move for the dunk or jump-hook.

Piotr C but he is not correcting some of Dwight’s mistakes.

@@mackcab200 not mistakes just different forms and flow playstyle

He taught Yao LeBron Dwight and Kobe

This happens to me so often it’s why I’ve never been able to excel in sports my brain knows exactly what to do but my hands and feet aren’t on the same page 😂

@T. York Dwight would have been a beast if he had of started learning this at a younger age.

So many of the comments saying that Hakeem would of destroyed Dwight in their primes is no debate however to your other random comment; Amar’e was never the same outside from being with Steve Nash. If he was healthy, he would of done good if he played with Jeremy Lin when he had his spotlight.

@@RiruKrypto_ Jeremy Lin is that rare point guard who made others around him look bad. He constantly over penetrates and gets you the ball in bad spots. He has improved since the Linsanity days though.

Never mind back then NOW !!!!

LekzShowtime no wilts better

Not a shot Kareem

potlimit2002 Olajuwon beat Kareem and the defending champ showtime Lakers in 4 straight games as a 22yr old kid who has just learned basketball! Kareem couldn't stop Dream with young Magic, young worthy, young Rambis, young Micheal Cooper, and Pat Riley as a coach! Olajuwon is easily the greatest center of all time and arguably the greatest player of all time. He's either #1 or #2 greatest defensive player of all time, only Russell comes close, and he's easily a top 5 offensive player in history!

I seen them both live in their prime. No way on God's green earth was Olajuwon a better basketball player than Kareem, period end of story! You're judging older, late 30's Kareem vs prime Olajuwon. If you want to talk about defense and shot blocking the fact is the NBA didn't score block shots as a official stat until Kareem's 5th year in the NBA. If you do the math you will find that Kareem averaged 200 block shots season multiply 200 by the 4 full seasons of Blocks shots, that comes to 800 total (atleast)! Add that to Kareem's total and he blocked more shots than Olajuwon. Another fact is Kareem lead the NBA in block shots 4 times to Olajuwon's 2. Kareem averaged more points, rebounds and assists per game for his career than Olajuwon.. When it comes to NBA titles Kareem won 6 to Olajuwon's 2. Kareem also won 3 College NCAA titles to Olajuwon's 0. Kareem won a NBA title with a 2nd year expansion team. Kareem also shot a higher FG and FT percentage that Olajuwon. Olajuwon never averaged 30 points a game for a season, Kareem did 4 times. Olajuwon never won a NBA scoring title Kareem won 2. Olajuwon's best rebounding season was 14.0 per game, Kareem best year tops that at 16.9 per game. I saw Olajuwon play in person his SR in college when he played at Rupp arena in Lexington KY and he lost that day and was out played by Sam Bowie. Armando there is no stat that backs up your point of view Kareem dominates Olajuwon stat wise. Personally I think prime Moses Malone was also better. Moses is the man that taught Olajuwon his post up game.

potlimit2002 oh OK, so you're telling me if they recorded blocks in the 70's Kareem would have more than Olajuwon! Well what if Olajuwon played during the weak 70's where there were 28 more shot attempts a game? Do you think Olajuwon would have more or less blocks than he does now? More of course! You can sit there and list every stat that Kareem ever accomplished, but without context they're just numbers! When you consider Kareem was getting those stats in the 70's when athleticism was scarce, he didn't even lead his team to the playoffs twice in that weak era! Yet they still gave him an MVP somehow! If it hadn't been for Robertson, Magic, and Worthy, Kareem would have zero rings! You put Olajuwon up against 6'7 Wes Unseld, (the only guy Kareem could beat for a ring back then) and Olajuwon would've made easy work out of him! Hell, Olajuwon would've made easy work out of all Kareem's competition thru the 70's, which were beating Kareem already! You know guys who aren't really that great like 6'9 Dave Cowens or 6'9 Willis Reed, and Olajuwon gave Bill Walton the business in the finals the same year he beat Kareem in 86'! The closest player to Olajuwon's skill set in Kareem's era, at least defensively, was Nate Thurmond, and Nate Thurmond would hold Kareem well below his point avg and fg%! So imagine if Thurmond could score the way Olajuwon could! It would be advantage Olajuwon! Answer me this, could Kareem have taken the 94' Rockets to a championship?! Of course not, and that's the year Olajuwon won a ring with no other all stars and they only player to ever get MVP, Finals MVP, and DPOY in the same season! You can discuss how Olajuwon did in college and even how he did in the 86' playoffs and finals, but you can't ignore that he hadn't even developed his full offensive game yet, and he still lead the entire playoffs in points, rebounds, and blocks while being triple teamed by Kareem, Lucas, Worthy, Magic, Kupchek, Rambis, Parish, McHale, Bird, and Walton!

I feel ad is stiff and does quick power moves hakeem is more of a smooth player

@@abhishekahirrao4271 Hakeem just one of a kind man. Like when you see those old highlights against David Robinson in the playoffs, I don't think you can teach that. That's just complete mastery of the post game.

It shows how incredible hakeem is when we are excited to see someone emulate him

An Sung so true 😂

True XD

Yet, Kobe is the only one who made it part of his game, especially late in his career when he posted up more often.
