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

[Brock Landers]

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.

That's a very good point, the europeans are taught moves like this early on Vlade was dope back in the day, Kukoc/Shrempf/Petrovic showed that the european dudes could play the NBA style of game

Cant be replicated. It was the perfect inside shot.

couldnt see this picture at work.. But this Pic is Swagger Personified

LMAO at this Pic.. You got the Defender on Kareem playing proper D with his hands up.. And you got the Defender on Mcgee Flopping on a hook shot..LMAO.. This Photo defines the bytchAssness that is the NBA today

If anyone has the length to do it, it's McGee.

Kareem's leg in comparison to JaVales, that's why dudes can't get post position today.

Great Observation.. Mcgee is obviously Top heavy.. Like Bradley against Pacquaio..

When will athletes realize developing the lower half of your body is just as important as the top

Just look at Kareems thighs compared to Mcgee... No Homo

 

[L@CaT]

Then again after looking at the pic.. Mcgee wearing no socks distorts his actual leg size, no homo

Javale McGee is like a retarded genius, or an idiot with a lot of potential. I think he has the potential to have a Kareem like skillset. George Karl will be the best thing to happen to dude. I think dude is one of the rawest talents in the L but the Wizards was no place for him.

javales shot was prolly an airball

ESPN was talking high release point of Durant's shot after Game 1. There's like what, 6+ feet distance between the ball and The Dream, LOL! Okay so Dream isn't even up in the air contesting, but that move just leaves defenders like

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