Why is it so Difficult for Big Men to Replicate Kareem's Hook-Shot?

[Loose]

it's not easy to replicate at all

 

[Malta]

AAU ball has the bigs trying to prove they can play on the perimeter, when men are made in the post.

 

[Black Ball]

A big factor is also that the shyt just don't look that cool to do alltime on the court. That's a big commitment to buy into a shot in which you might feel like you look like a chump doing it.

 

[YourMajesty]

It's a swaggerless looking shot

 

[jadillac]

Cant be replicated. It was the perfect inside shot.

Dude was hooking from damn near 20 ft out at times breh. Alot of the time he hooked on the baseline, way outta the paint.

For what it's worth, Vlade had a nice hook that was very good in his prime.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Effective, but that is one ugly shot

I'd rather be swagerless and winnin ships and leading the league in scoring than be DeAndre Jordan

[Soul Gleaux]

It's an awkward move to do.

 

[sm0ke]

breh, have you tried it? shyt aint easy breh


playing ball with your boys

you trying the hook shot:
ball goes over the damn backboard, everyone like: /
you looking like afterwards:

When im by myself I can hit it from the top of the key at a decent rate. But i never think about trying it in a pick-up game because i know that shyts gonna hit the top left corner of the backboard and everyone will stop and think about what they just saw like

 

[LesterDiamond]

Because the baby hook is easier and more natural to do

Like that ugly ass Alabama national title game this year.....






































.....as opposed to OU's "most prolific offense in CFB history" and not beating Florida.

they can call us what ever they want as long as it begins with champion

 

[Majestic Pape]

big men today are just stupid, they're mentality is "me catch ball. me dunk ball. me get rebound"

Sounds like smart ball to me.

 

[Malta]

Sounds like smart ball to me.

The only problem is these dudes don't have the moves to get to the dunk part on their own.
