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

My dude DeAndre Jordan could really really use a baby hook shot in his arsenal

Because a basic jump-hook and actual jump-shot are easier to teach/learn.

Kareem's Shooting touch in General was just amazing.. He also had a face-up midrange which was money

How many big men in the NBA can even do a basic jump hook?

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

Someone mentioned it earlier but it could be because of the body frame of the centers. Then again, most of the center today ain't that brolic or husky

That's why I have hope for Drummond, his legs look like he's been kicking down bamboo trees in a jungle with Kurt Sloane.

Dwight Howard trying to make moves with his back to the basket is excruciating to watch.
Sadly, he's the NBA current top center

Maybe cause it's the ugliest shot in basketball next to the granny shot?
