The skyhook shot really is next to impossible to block. I’m a 5’9, brawny 210 lbs, and played shooting guard in high school, our coach had everyone on the team learn and master the skyhook. I’m so glad he did, because we won two local titles thanks to it. He showed us just how effective it really is. Case in point, when I mastered the skyhook I could shoot it over coach, and he’s 6’6.

he made it look easy but still incredible how he keeps his balance and the accuracy when hes releasing the ball.

The problem today is none of the big men today want to play in the post that's why there are no more dominant centers today. Centers back in the day controlled the paint, averaged double figures rebounding, blocked shots and dared you to come down the middle. Rudy G is the only big to today who tries to control the paint but he lacks offensive skills. Hakeem, Kareem, Shaquille, Patrick, Schmit, were some of the last traditional great big men in the game. These guys dominated the paint and the game and there teams were always in contention because of their play. There are no big men in today's game that have that kind of impact.

The legendary sky-hook.....amazing

Kareem was completely unstoppable. You knew he was going to skyhook every time he got the ball, but nobody could stop him.

"Like Magic in his prime when Kareen sky-hooked"

MONEY! Kareem hit Moses Malone with an okie-doke there at 0:30 seconds. One, two, gone!

Why no one wants to study and master this craft is beyond me. It's not ESPN nor highlight worthy, I guess. Everybody wants to dunk, hang in the air, be acrobatic. I guess that's why Kareem is often ledt out in the GOAT conversation. He dominated high school. College, too. In the NBA, he finished with 6 rings and 6 regular MVPs. We all habe our GOATS, Kareem is mine. ❤

Every now and then I'd just watch these skyhook videos on KZread. So beautiful, so mesmerizing and so ageless. I'd take KAJ's prime + career over any other player's, MJ included.

Executing it with the finesse and that beautiful release that Kareem did is beyond hard. Big men these days do not have the foot work and ball handling to execute the skyhook. Big men are a whole different species, they pick up things very slowly and for some reason, cannot pick up the muscle memory like smaller players can.

It's really kinda laughable that he even bothered faking to his right first (with his back to the basket) before delivering the unstoppable hook. I noticed several defenders actually bit on that little "mini"-fake right too. Caldwell Jones for one. Kareem didn't even really have a threat turning the other way.

Just never gets old.

How frustrating would it be to know you are guarding this shot when everybody on the court knows he's only going to his right, and there isn't a thing you can do about it? I'm amazed no player has learned this, it must be something that worked for him only. Magic developed the baby hook, but nothing like this.

He said he started using it in grade school so that no doubt helped him develop his accuracy but it's also true that a lot of players develop moves after they reach the NBA so why the hell wouldn't you try to master this shot? It's a mystery of the cosmos.

well, it helps to be 7'1." The ball basically just has a downward trajectory. It is MUCH harder when you're significantly shorter and the ball has to go much further up and then down.

This is a really nice piece of video of Kareem. Wow... Thank you Jrylaarsdam for posting this!

Kareem's best video in KZread for me. Skyhook, skyhook and skyhook again!!!

The most beautiful thing i ever seen in the NBA!

My all time fav player still sky hooked and makes them at old age of 40 years old

Even for a 7'2 guy he's got REALLY long arms. And such nice footwork and post moves. Still took thousands of hours of practice to be this dominant, even being born 7'2 with long-ass arms and decent all around physical athleticism.

You know he was going to do the same move ever time, you just can't stop him

Kareem revolutionized the the hook shot in basketball and because the top scorer of all time

It's simply beautiful to watch KAJ skyhooking

This move is almost unstoppable. It's his trademark shot throughout his whole career. Very few professional basketball players ever managed to block this. And he can shoot it with both hands. Imagine that, combined with his long arms and tremendous height.

Gotta respect the fact everybody knew what he was gonna do and yet still couldn't stop it

Sky hook is kareem's signature moves that made him all time lead scorer....👏👏

Jrylaarsdam, this is a great video. My boyfriend was trying to explain Kareem's sky hook to me. Your clip shows it all. Great editing. Thanks so much for your efforts.

Agreed. Hell, I'm not even a basketball fan, but as a sports fan, I have to appreciate the sheer effectiveness of the skyhook

Most points in NBA history but his technique is the most underrated.
