#nba #fadeaway #eurostep - กีฬา
For those who keep commenting about Ginobili - yes I do know he's from Argentina. But it's still called the Eurostep when he does it. It ain't called the South American step lmao
Andy Hoops not to mention that it wasn’t Elgin Baylor’s signature move but he technically did invent the “eurostep.” Me and my homies call it “The Elgin” out of principle 😎
That is because Sarunas Marciulionis introduced it to NBA. And he made it a thing, not Ginobili. Dude, you are just young I guess.
This is to hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 South America step good one!!!
Andy Hoops good joke Andy
Andy Hoops a
“Kevin Garnett blocking shots after the whistle.” 😂
*goaltend
Lmao
Aaron Aristo I’ll get you banned from TH-cam
Nothing wrong with that. That is what makes the great ones great, there is a reason for that.
@@VictorFernandezBigdestroyer lmao
You forgot Shaq's free throw 😂
Damn he was cracked at free throws. 97% in 2003 he was godly
Lol
O dam👀👀
Omg hahah that is a signature tho
Hack-a-Shaq... it was not "his move", but he propiciated its creation.
Kareem's skyhook was 2nd to none. Look at how he would flick his wrist like shooting a j. It was so pretty & his footwork was phenomenal.
It was probably the reason he scored the most points in NBA history
bro just looking at the highlights his game was just so smooth all around
It doesn't even make sense 😂🤣😂 all wrist and hand
@@Victor-pn4vb average points*. Wilt scored the most in a game
@@Frozo-nt2ky I meant that Kareem scored the most TOTAL points in NBA history and not just in a game. Please, read carefully
No mention of Kevin McHale's up and under. Pretty iconic imo.
McHale is always overlooked. What an animal McHale was. He didn't have much flash, so people ignore how great of a player he was.
His Up & Under post move Kevin Mchale
What about Draymond green's "The Nutcracker"?
lol
Good one
Good
Stuff
lol
Self Conscience so effective it can take out a player for a whole game no matter how good they are
Hardens 5 step step back
Hahaha! Made my day. Nice one...
It should be called Harden's step-back travel.
lol
The step step step step back?
true stuff..
The Most Signature Move: Tim Duncan got T-foul for laughing at bench
lol
Hahahaha
Lmao
James Harden also has a signature move where he initiates contract and his victim gets called for a foul. He typically does this move when he jumps up for a 3-pointer or a jump shot. He either sticks a leg out to create contact or he tries to land on the defender. It works more for him than anyone.
NBA defense in the 2010+ is abysmal, I searched for a better word but it's 4 letters. Harden is far from transcending more transgending
Not his leg, his arm and shoulder when driving and shooting. If you really think about it, it’s lowkey genius. Moves his arm in a position where he gets contact but it doesn’t hinder his ability to actually score which is why his percentages aren’t the best. So say he misses the three, if he gets a foul call boom he still gets 2 points, Make the 3 that’s a 4 point play. The whole point of that move I think is if he misses he still gets another chance to make some points
He rides them piggy back style
@@ddiesel8929 You're right. It is a genius move but it's not his alone. It's a two against one strategy because it requires the referees to make bad calls in your favor to basically give you charity points at the line. If not for his ability to consistently dupe the referees into making bad calls, his free throw point totals would be cut in half. James Harden and the referees versus the other team. Very ingenious indeed.
The sad thing is there is a rule in the referee's handbook that they can use instead of constantly deferring to the foul. Its called "incidental contact" it allows them to play but they rarely ever use it unless they are trying to control the outcome of the game instead of officiating.
Everything he does is legal. Other players have had to bend thr rules, he isn't, and if you don't have to bend rules to be that good, yk your something.
(There's a JXMMYHIGHROLLER video on him called "how does he get away with this " or something along those lines
Shaqs missed free throws and JR Smith's "blazed and confused"
lol blazed & confused
lol
hahahahah
Or the Hack a Shaq.
Renan Abano for so long it’s not true
03:00 you know you nailed it when even the cameramen gets fooled
Biggus Dickus I think it’s easier to fool unathletic cameramen than professional Basketball players lol
I don't know how many times I would watch replay in slowmo, knew where the ball went but still couldn't figure it out. Magic.
cncaliguy09 will not happen in 4k
Biggus Dickus FR LOL

I never understood why centers or Power Forwards never tried harder to master the sky hook shot. If you had a center that had Hakeems footwork, Tim Duncan’s fundamentals and Kareems hook shot, that’s the definition of a perfect post player. It would be practically unstoppable
Should have included Rick Barry's granny free throws.
Shaq's powerful drop step spin move,
"Black tornado", was a really, really fun thing to see as a fellow big.
Lobo Kujo stfu u 5,5 virgin
Dennis Rodman’s boxouts and tipping rebounds to himself. Total classic
facts
Underrated
Moses Malone tipped rebounds to himself all the time. Idk bout the boxout tho.
Not signature moves lol that’s shit that everyone does
Rodman’s taping rebound
Larry Bird’s high ball 🏀 shooting
Jordan’s reverse alleyup
@MANCHESTER UNITED Why does it matter ???
@MANCHESTER UNITED well then why watch this if you like soccer more. And also it doe not matter, like dude
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C soccer is boring as fuck.. 100mins of play and at the end the score is like 0-2 only. Basketball is more exciting.
Ewing fadeaway, Wilkins spin, Bernard King turnaround jumper, Stoudamire hop step, Shaq drop step, Carmelo jab step, Dr. J mid air adjustment, T. Parker floater, Paul Pierce step back, James Harden step back, Dwayne Wade pump fake, D. Rose hop step and R. Westbrook pass interceptor.
Rayner Sulaiman ikr so boring
where's Lonzo's air ball?
Or his ugly windmill shot
@@jasonwebb5964 It was efficient though. efficiently shit.
or Markelle Fultz’ jumper
Or Danny Green's Brick Shot
@MUFC bro there isnt 240 countries
“He realized that soccer players have great footwork”
Really stretching the bounds of human intellect to come up with such a novel idea
James Widmann underrated
This is actually true. If you watch or play soccer you will notice Hakeem’s foot work is the same as the great soccer players
if you think soccer is easier to master than basketball idk but theres 100% something wrong with you
Vravos Nesno Both sports are extremely hard and take a lifetime to master.
@@ericramos1916 I really do think its been academically proven that soccer is indeed harder to master than basketball is, mechanically and skill ceiling wise
What about Kobe's no-pass look?
boi
I dont know if you came up with that but its the best Ive ever heard
🤣🤣🤣🤣
underrated move
LOL~ It's funny because when he does his detail analysis during the last post season he talks about "looking off" which is exactly the no-pass look so yeah, he did make it a "move".
How about Barkley's quick footwork at the local donut shop? Pretty iconic, if you ask me...
Manu = Eurostep master
Tony parker = teardrop master
Tim Duncan= bankshot master
I❤️you spurs
You forgot Draymond Green's kick in the nuts, Isaiah Thomas's carrying the ball every time he dribbles, Steven Adams's stepping aside to let Russell Westbrook get the rebound, and Zaza Pachulia's ankle-breaker.
Bahahahah
Draymond did it twice because LEBRON FANS LIKE TO DISCREDIT PEOPLE CALLING THEM NAMES LOWLIFE ASSHOLES THEY ARE.
Zaza's ankle breaker is deadly.. 😂
hahah
AisuruMirai Boban’s standing dunk.
Rasheed’s “ball don’t lie”
Hey ten thumbs production
@@billywoodruff9963 What's up Billy? How are you?
aye its TenThumbs productions
MUFC wow ur so smart. Even i can copy and paste get ur clown looking face outta here.
MUFC where are the askers
Hakeem Olajuwon’s Dream shake & Kareem’s skyhook were near impossible to guard
Michael's Air reverse. I think more iconic than his fadeaway. Very good video!
If the sky hook hadn't been no. 1, I would have sued TH-cam.
Christian Heckmann Engelbrecht lol great comment
haha ICEEE MANNNN!!!! come on everyone that even blows at basketball takes that shot
😂😂
I was actually hoping there would have been an honorable mention towards Vlade Divac and the Vlade Flop.
@@rigman031977 Why honour a cowardly cheat?
Magic even tricked the camera man 😂
Very good basketball source. Thanks!
Thank you for spending your valuable time just to make a video, This is really a wonderful video.
Where is Brian Scalabrine's 360 fadeaway dunk? That move was GOD-LIKE!
Piripiao he is a 🐐 white mamba
TakeInS2 yea my dad was blinded after seeing that and he said it was worth it
Double 360 full court fake fadeaway double clutch euro step windmill dunk*
boebadoesstuff • hol up
No,No,Brian Scalabrine's dunk is nothing compared to Anthony Bennet's 360 Backwards one handed tomahawk posterizer-over-5-people,buzzer beater with his eyes closed
Basically Pistol Pete's whole game was a trademark move. Players like Magic and White Chocolate owe a lot to the creativity that Pete brought to the game!
True and Pistol Pete’s highlight reels were incredible but he was surprisingly inefficient for a superstar. Lots of turnovers and misses that don’t show up on the highlights. Still, he was a great innovator during an era officials wouldn’t let ball handlers get away with much and the three point line wasn’t a thing. Born too soon, perhaps.
You can attribute some of the turnovers and inefficiency to the quality of players that surrounded him. When he was with the Jazz most of his teammates shouldn't have been in the NBA. Pete made them better but you can only polish a turd so much
With his arsenal of moves/shots, Maravich Still holds NCAA Career Point Total/Avg @ 3667/44.2....Decades b4 3 pt. line! And if he had lived, would have probably scored 20-25k NBA points. But nobody mentions That fact-SMH
Gervin's finger roll should have been on here, his move is one of the most iconic and copied in the NBA.
the iceman cometh
Man shot over 50 percent as a guard and averaged over 30 a game multiple times! And averaged over 25 a game for his career. Till today no one has been able to use that as their go-to patented shot or shoot it with that kind of efficiency. He's underrated for sure.
How about all the Duke of Dunk Darryl Dawkins jams? Idk if that necessarily counts as a "signature move" because there were so many... but maybe his "signature move" was actually naming jams.
@@the503creepout7 his signature move was clumsily breaking backboards
@@steveelder5306 if i were to recognize one player as the king of shattering the glass - it would have to be Shaq. But then again - it's arguable that his high elbow drop step was his signature move. When i watch some of those old O'Neal highlights, i find it stunning that those elbow shots didn't straight up knock players out.
What about the Lonzo Ball "Magic Trick"? Turning balls into bricks mid-flight.
HA!
Lmao....you fucker
As much as i love the fucker, thats too true
Emmanuel Delgadillo or D-Rose’s signature ankle breaker
Best comment I’ve ever seen
Jordan's fade-away is the best looking one because of his crazy hang-time. It looks so smooth.
Because his footwork was much better than Kobe's so he created more space for an uncontested, smooth shots. Many fans hated Kobe for taking so many hard shots, looked like forcing, but when Jordan did it, it looked so easy
Just look at Jordan and compare him to Kobe, Jordan has a stronger core, broad shoulders and big ass hands. His small shoe size helped him move faster, he really was the perfect NBA player.
Nah dirk got the best fadeaway
Dirk has best fade-away for sure
@@spaghetisvibin994 If that was true, you wouldn't have to keep piggybacking off of my Jordan comment, you would start your own thread about Dirk. lol!
These is my 1st video that i ever watch from andy 2 years ago. How time flies
Thx u for this video. I love it. Big luv from switzerland ;)
2:54 his passes are so good he even tricked the camera man
well if his passes surprise his own team mates you can be damn sure its gonna surprise the camera man
Matthew Kim 巴戈
I just want to call it "dream shake"
@@jakeryu2183 The "dream shake" is already taken by Hakeem.
💔🤣
Dirk’s fade-away should be a move on it’s own
A13 A13 memo Ochoa? 😟😱
Alan Galicia 🇲🇽🇲🇽
A13 A13 uff hermano, de los pocos mexicanos que les gusta el básquet, eres de los míos 🇲🇽🔥💪🏻
Alan Galicia aquí en Los Estados Unidos nos gusta mucho, especialmente aquí en Dallas donde esta bien lleno de mexicanos
A13 A13 y ni se diga con los Lakers de Los Ángeles, otra ciudad de allá llena de compatriotas también...
Love your videos
Great list and analysis! But here's some honorable mentions that were not mentioned:
Dominique Wilkins' windmill slam.
Kevin McHale's post moves.
Wes Unseld's outlet passes. (Kevin Love's and Lonzo Ball's)
Tony Parker's floater.
Jamal Crawford's shake-and-bake or 4-point play.
Aw yeah, Parker's floater, good one
Yes lonzo balls outlet pass deserves a top 10 spot
Bird's beside the head shot. No coach teaches players to shoot like that anymore. Also his right hand left hand ability. Playing whole games with just his left.
Rick Barry. Granny free throw
Yesss
What about James Harden’s “Draw a foul”
Yes, also known as ref bating. Lol
Absolutely! No one can draw a foul by duping the referees more than James Harden! It's definitely his signature move.
It’s less of a move and more of a cheat. It’s like Bruce Bowen sticking his leg out when he shot the ball.
@@topbackpodcast2615 yeah, we all know it's a cheat but unfortunately the NBA and the referees don't see it that way. Therefore, it's a legal bonafide signature move.
I know it sucks but until the NBA acknowledge it's a cheat and stop letting players use it to get free points and using it to get other players in foul trouble...we're wasting our time complaining and screaming its a cheat move. Even flopping is a cheat. There is a penalty but the referees are blind and can't see it when Harden does it. This means it's legal if you don't get penalized for it. Therefore, flopping also become James Harden and LeBron James signature move.
Who flops the best? Harden
Great vid!
You can really see a bit of Hakeem when you watch Yao Ming. That training works
Yao was so great ...shame injuries got him
Kobe was a student of MJ, though. He styled his game around MJ’s every move
Manis Themeasure They have the most beautiful fade away.
True but Kobe used the fade away more often as a result of him taking a lot of contested shots, so arguably he has mastered it on another level.
Kobe took some of Mj moves and just didn't master them but took them to another level in his arsenal
Jon Da Don, he binged on all of MJ’s moves and never took it to any level. He even did the tongue 👅 for a while.
@@manisthemeasure5973 he definitely took it to another level
I did the Hakeem shake in a game and got a high five from the ref
I’ll take things that never happened for 500 Alex.
Dream shake*
It’s true you’re just jealous
Austinn Markovic why
Doubt he’s jealous just a dick
great list!
That was fun to watch :)
No one ever blocked Kareem's sky hook
Wilt Chamberlain : *DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM ?*
Wilt invent the finger roll and the fadeaway jump shot, and one of the few people to block the skyhook even those he was old
@@lloydkline3265 Yes he started the finger roll then George Gervin used it as well.
Adam Drl Julius Erving blocked that Sky Hook!!!!!
...Bill Willoughby of the Houston Rockets blocked that shot!
@@jerryturner2310 The club is growing
Watching Lew/Kareem’s skyhook is such a thing of beauty it brings tears to my eyes.
It was an unblockable shot, except for Wilt Chamberlain, who blocked it a couple of times.
@@genemars5158 goaltending on both occasions
@@l.j.6479 There wasn't goaltending rule back then
@@hubi2986 waita ruin it
Nice job including the Dream Shake. Loved Hakeem
Absolutely solid list.
My signature move is called the
*pass*
why did i laugh lmao
Mine would be the "inbound".
Mine was the double dribble
I implumented ur move
Mine is traveling
Saw Kareem's skyhook as #1 from a mile away
Great Video
that euro step of ginobili. i use to apply it when playing basketball and its very effective.
Dennis Rodman's Dive to save outbound balls. I swear when I see that thing happening I remember Rodman.
Doing all the dirty jobs n getting all the hates
Or the "worm tip" where he'd battle guys for rebounds by tipping the ball to different spots so he could gain position.
@@the503creepout7 that was a move
@@CFH1962 should be a move in it's own category. He cracks me up whenever I see him play
@@the503creepout7 its what made him #1
He would have won 'best effort' award if there was such a thing
Tony Parker's floater should have been an honorable mention.
Yes, he destroyed PGs with that
Walter James yep. Teardrop
Finally.been looking for this comment
Of course.You got a point
I think it should be even in the top 10. That tear drop shot was deadly.
Wow. What Hakeem said is great. I've been incorporated NBA/NFL moves in soccer/futsal a lot xD
Always did things like blocking opponent (Pick & Roll?) , Swipe ball like runningback and quarterback did in run plays.
TP9 tear drop and his spin move was excellent too;)
#1 basketball signature move that anyone does: Kobe
may the legend himself now rest....
He finally passed
clash of littness his fade away counts of course
Killary Hitten finally?
@@XxFamousedxX Yea he was such a ball hog
Killary Hitten i hope you will be with him soon😊
Steph curry shot over 50% from 30 ft in 2016
That’s insane
Curry the GOAT shooter
So Curry ain't "chucker", long as his 30 foot pull ups go in, right?
Which is also the year where they blew a 3-1 lead. That’s why the 1995-1996 bulls is better
King James
@@douglasbryant2556 he got buckets that season. We can't hate.
i totally agree well done
Glad to see that two Spurs made the list. I guess Parker's floater would be a good one too
He has the best tear drop
Yes
Leaving class to watch this video in the bathroom
Smart choice.
little sus
good luck in your future career
Remember that i don't like pickles on my cheeseburger
JuggernautPT lol u guys got no chill
Really thought the tony parker floater would be in here
Yeah. me too.
And his spin move
The tear drop. Shocked it wasn't here
Or kd’s rattle
same here since manu and timmy was there
I know it wasn’t as “sexy” but Kevin McHale had a nasty up and under
Solid assessment...
Fadeaway 360 dunk by Brian Scalabrine
🐐
dishonorable mentions:
Chris Paul's - nut punch
Bruce Bowen - place feet on opponents landing
Latrell Sprewell - choke hold
Don't forget about Bill Laimbeer and Ron Artest 😄
Sir Charles elbow dribble
was it also Bruce Bowen with that place feet on Szcerbiak's face
Ron Artest crowd pleaser......lmbo
zaza injures people
Elvin Hayes's turnaround jump shot was unstoppable.
good vid brother
Every kid simulates the Iverson crossover on the street. He is the King of Street Basketball.
Preach!!!!! I was in middle school during that era every guy and girl on the court was trying to do iverson moves lol
he even had the look… baggy clothes and nice kicks made street ball in the 2000’s
Ice Man’s finger roll!
I'd add Rick Barry's underhand free throw technique...88% lifetime with that double-handed granny shot. Every move on this list has been done by other players but I can't recall anybody borrowing that move.
That was not a move.
Great work dude. I can see you put much work in that. I still would be happier if I see Harden's step-back on top 10.
5:47 LeBron so fast he gotta slow down to get the block
wade's pump-fake shot while bumping into his defender
👍👍
You could argue that wade or Kobe patented that shot. Especially since Kobe has done that to wade himself a few times lol
To be fair Wade also bought about the euro dunk...
@@ryanderke8678 reggie Miller was doing that way before either player mentioned. Kobe even said after playing against reggie he went up to him after the game and told him he's going to steal his move
No
Larry Bird patented that move.
I liked what Andy said at the end where post moves are a dying art, thanks to small ball. I dunno, but theres something about 2 behemoths duking it out in the post that really satisfies me.
MAGIC & WORTY & COOPER on a fast break was something to behold !
U forgot the iconic basketdestroyer shaqattack😂😂
@Brian Shepherd Barbeque chicken alert XD
My signature move is
Airball
same
lol
I can make a house with all of the bricks I make in a pickup game to 11
David McFarland mine is no ball
while sitting on the toilet.
Honestly speaking everyone will do Iverson's crossover 🙄
Kevin's blocking shot that got me subscribed lol
jr smith's iconic run
alic_ leee I’ll get you banned from TH-cam
Mamba out.😢 rest in peace kobe.😢
Boi shut up Kobe sucks
Rip Kobe bro mamba out
HVY Jattard you shut up you probably look like krillin from dragonball
@@yoselinaldrich4741 u pissed fam?
HVY Jattard how tf u gon talk about a dead man? u ain’t shit.
I'm pretty sure KG's blocking shots after the whistle is a top 10 lol 😂👍
The Goat
My favorite has to be the Hakeem Olajuwon dream-shake
He credited soccer playing for it, but I think he also saw Kevin mchale, who had great post moves, that look familiar, don’t know who did it first.
What about Javale's move, the Shaqtin a fool?
Joshua Kenny LMFAO
What about Latrells, "I'll choke a fool" move?
HAHAHAH omg
Tragic Bronson alert!
dude, back down, or he is going to tell his mom about you!
The 3 i tried to use more when i play are the euro-step, long 3pt and nowitzki fade away
Kareem rightfully has the #1 spot. I probably would have mentioned that Kareem's left arm usually came up to create additionally space to make his shot even more unguardable. That said, excellent analysis.
The teardrop is a great shot too...Tony Parker has the best one in his prime.
And the rainbow 3 pointer form Derek Fisher.
Mark Jackson's was better. He was slow af and couldn't jump but nobody ever got a piece of it.
When LeBron was mentioned I was expecting it to be the crab dribble 😂
Also, Dwayne had one of the deepest fade away technique that I can remember.
Last, most memorable from Kobe for me was his windmill 4 point play. It didn’t happen often but when he pulled it off it was fun to watch. It was basically him being guarded at the 3 point line; he fakes the shot several times by “wind milling” the ball up and down until he has the defender following his moves. He then goes up for the shot having the defender scrambling to follow Kobe’s arms. Drains the 3 and the foul is called for a possible 4 point play.
when you mentioned move, I come up with the dream shake
i'm so glad the sky hook made the list. it's the hardest shot to block. it so effective even if you're playing against someone who's a foot taller.
Hakeem Olajuwon played soccer imagine going up for a header against him
Its football...
And getting a nutsack on your forehead 😂
@@pyje3487 futbol*
Dynamic ninja no
@@nbamitch1157 yes
When u didn't put dirk's picture at 8:01 (fadeaway) i admit i was triggered a bit
Same
Forreal after #4 I was like "okay it's skyhook, dream shake, and fadeaway left...oh but what about MJ and Kobe...OOOOHHH....fuck."
I put him in the thumbnail though!
Wilt's bread and butter was his fade away. I also love Wilt's behind the back pass to the cutter in the lane.
That KG blocking shot after the whistle was very iconic bro
