Jabar learned the sky hook from legendary Coach John Wooden when he was at UCLA. The NCAA had banned the dunk shot (Jabar’s go to shot) so Jabar had to broaden his shooting repertoire and Wooden taught him the shot that made George Mikan (basketball’s first great big man) a dominant force, winning 7 rings in his career.
You have done your homework I see, and you nailed it. At age 61 I have had the chance to watch Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in his younger days as he was going through college, and what a wonderful Journey this is been for him and you have a shot like that Skyhook. Simply amazing!. 🇺🇸 👍🏻
He was shooting hook shots since elementary school. The dunk was never his "go to" shot. When the NCAA banned the dunk, he focused even harder on his hook shot and other shots around the key.
Wilt blocked it out of the air when it was near the basket, not at the launching point of the hook. It is much easier to block a shot when it is traveling to the basket than at the shooter's launching point.
@joweydelanota7421 wilt blocked Kareem's signature move five times in one game in the playoffs and 23 times altogether during the playoffs...the referees in the 1970s upheld the rules far more in Wilts era than today... One game before Wilts devastating knee injury was played between Wilt and Kareem...Wilt dominated kareem and beat Kareem in every way and Wilt wasn't even trying to stop Kareem Abdul-Jabbar because Kareem was Wilts protege... After Wilts injury Kareem was a better opponent for Wilt but Wilt still holds the edge in wins against Kareem...very few players can say the same...
Clyde lovellette was doing shy hook long before kareem. Clyde also 1st player to win national championship in college,nba & olympics gold. I new clyde he was our sheriff in vigo county indiana. Also work with his brother in Terre Haute.
Shaq had a pretty good lil baby hook he started working a lot with towards the middle of his career. I always liked seeing the flitted hook. Although it was NOWHERE NEAR this beautiful hook. Kareem definitely had the best hook in the history. Hands down, obviously
Kareem called Magic’s skyhook the “junior skyhook”. Try and find a clip of Magic missing the “junior skyhook”. Seriously. Dig deep. Recall the shot that gave the Lakers a 3 - 1 lead in the 1987 NBA Finals.
Kareems hook really was like no others. It truly was like a shot, when i do the hook its a whole body movement to gather momentum and catipult the ball up there. His was palming the ball goings straight up with his hand. And at the peak of his jump, a smooth flick of the wrist as his shoulders turn to square up with the basket. Its crazy hard to gather that momentum, transfer it up to your wrist and be straight in posture without huring it up there.
Magic may or may not have been able to hit the skyhook in 1985 but he got better. He never reached Kareem's level of perfection but Magics Jr. Skyhook became an effective weapon in his arsenal.
Never saw anyone else shoot the hook like Jabbar did. A running hook across the lane was in my arsenal, like magic did it, but the Kareem version was too awkward to get down.
I believe what made Kareem so great with the hook shot in 1967 the NCAA outlawed the dunk (the Alcindor rule) it indirectly made him work more on his hook shot .I also think having a hook shot allowed him to be the first player to play 20 years in the NBA.
Most players feel a bit uncomfortable jumping off of just 1 leg during this move, even though Kareem was comfortable with it. I truly believe that's why not many people incorporate the 1 legged sky hook into their arsenal, but they do the more often used jump off of 2 feet, hook shot instead
Magic developed a very potent hook shot. It was $. He tortured those smaller guards in the low post. With his passing he was a nightmare to defend from the post. Once Magic added that hookshot he was every bit as good as Bird.
Magic actually did add it to his game it wasn't as DOPE &elegant as CAPS, but magic was able to SHOOT it with both hands! & it added a huge dimension to MAGIC'S game!
In college in the late ‘60s, my dad peeked into the UW gym when UCLA was in town. He saw a guy on a ladder by the rim, swatting Kareem’s sky hooks with a broom saying, “more arc!” Kareem spent many years going all the way back to college honing that shot. There’s a reason players don’t mimic it; it’s too hard to master (plus a bit of vanity because for some reason players think it looks goofy).
Thats because Magic's hook shot was the Baby Hook shot or Baby sky Hook, Kareems was the Sky Hook. Glad to see Jokic bring it back and would to see him do it a lot more in games.
Kareem is right. I used the hook shot back in my high school and early college days but its science and balance combined. Being only 6'3 it was hard to get it right against taller folks but it worked for me
His most iconic shot was his running skyhook from the right baseline to win Game 6 in the 1974 NBA Finals against Boston. That shot was from 20 feet out
Kareem contradicts himself here because he has also stated that learning the skyhook isn´t so difficult, the reason why nowadays players don´t use is not because it´s hard to learn but because it´s not cool.
I played in Sweden for 25 years, and was a master of the sky hook!! I use to do more points whith it then ordinary shoots. They called me "kareeem" I think its a gift you are born with, otwerwise it would be common!!!
Magic was great at it. He didn't use it as much. When he would run close to the goal he would use his outside hand. Watch his old clips he had his own version (baby hook) and it was money.
Wanna learn this shot? George mikan drill over and over again will give you the fundamentals it’s a easy shot to learn nearly impossible to master but I recommend everyone learn it yes even guards who want to shoot from 50ft out you never know when that hook shot will be useful it could make all the difference from a easy bucket or miss
I disagree. Magic Johnson had the best sky hook outside of Kareem. Especially when he will do it on guards. And in my opinion he had a better left-hand that skyhook
I might not be that easy to master, but stil I think big men should add it to their arsenal (maybe not spam it like Kareem lol). Guys like hakeem and TD occasionally did successful hook shots. Even with them it's obvious how good it is to have it as like a 3rd or 4th post move. What kareem was really insanely good at was doing it while jumping. I guess that's ehy it's the "skyhook".
