I've seen the other videos where Hakeem is practicing with Lebron, Melo, and Amare, and it's clear that Kobe's overall mechanics are much more fluid compared to these others.
Since pickin this move up I have been dominant against guards. I thought to myself how I could be dominant as a guard with a decent three pointer and decent handles and I found this vid and now it's been so simple to score against guards since they have no post IQ
hakeems moves are not that hard to learn. what's hard is how he executes it. he is just so smooth, he makes everything look so easy and simple in one swift motion.
rakinruldude14 it's not the moves themselves. It's learning how to set up counters and be ready to have like 3 to 4 moves before you catch the ball. Dream was just awesome at that. Just the simplicity he showed against Robinson. Wow.
Seductive Mistres I tried to master that step back fade away from the baseline falling out of bounds when I was young in Jr high. I worked on it so much I had it down. It was unstoppable and coaches couldn't believe a little guy like me(5'6 at the time) could get that move down over bigger guys. I felt awesome. Can't imagine what these NBA guys must feel.
The Dream is such a master. Just look at it! Even Kobe, one of the top 3 shooting guards of all time, learns from the most fluid center of all time! Hakeem still is the man in the middle! Gosh I hate the fact I'm so young I was barely able to see players like Olajuwon and Jordan to play...
This move is soooo freaking difficult to do which makes it impossible to defend against. Hakeem is truly one of the best , if not the best Center to ever play the game. His moves transcends to every position in a basketball team. Even guards learn from him. Which begs the question- Where did Hakeem get these moves from? Genius? You bet!
What a duo to see on a camera. The details make the difference between an average player and a superstar. I wish I could call these two legends for one of my videos lmao
I couldn't stand Kobe as player, but he was an excellent STUDENT of the game. He gets it. He understood the way of learning, adding, and changing your game in a way that you don't use as much energy. Yet, you maintain the same EFFECTIVENESS. That was how the 80's and 90's separated themselves. They were supremely gifted in similar ways as these athletes today, but they were students of the game and coachable until their last game.
Hakeem is very good, it's amazing to see how even the "best" basketball players in our day don't get everything right. Hakeem trains them well to loosen up and move naturally but they're so stiff lol
I'll say this about Kobe...he's a smart and hard worker. He may not be as efficient and natural as MJ but he worked hard to come up. He could've caved after the 97 playoffs in Utah
If you watch closely hakeem all he says is to push suddenly with the toe on the front leg to make more space on the shot between you and the defender but suddenly and fast.your body must be leaning forward without showing that you are gonna fade away.foot and body must fade real fast and really backwards when you decide to shoot
kobe has the footwork of hakeem olajuwon, with ball handling of allen iverson, with the athleticism of DR J , with the perimeter touch of reggie miller and with the killer instinct of michael jordan.
These moves are easy for Kobe because he was already doing them prior to meeting Hakeem. See, my favorite player Jordan downloaded Hakeem's post skill package along time ago and Kobe downloaded Jordan's ENTIRE move package so this was rather easy for Kobe.
that is complete bullshit thats one thing the goat does not have is a better footwork than kobe yes a better fadeaway of course but footwork? and a variety of moves within that footwork? nah fam
Adam Colter Dirk learned Hakeem's step back jumper by watching him play. Kobe learned all of Jordan's moves from watching him play when Kobe was growing up.
have you never seen a jump stop or hop step before in basketball? if you jump off the ground while gathering the basketball and land on two feet simultaneously there's no reason it should be a travel.
really... you're one of those guys? you don' think MJ "stole" moves from dr. j, baylor, or west? what about lebron, he "copied" kobe's fade away when he was in the league.. how about Magic and "stealing" kareem's baby skyhook... you're a fool.. basketball is a game that is built and learned from the past
the whole point of this training video is to show that these "superstars" don't move as they should naturally, they're stiff and you would think with all that money they would know better but obviously compared to Hakeem they don't.
Notice how MJ had to learn to play the post himself? Or not from an all time great. Nowadays, basic fundamentals are so lacking, they have to seek out the stars instead of learning it in college.
at1212 b You don't learn the fundamentals in college, at least you're not supposed to. I started learning the fundamentals starting at 5 yrs old. You're supposed to have the fundamentals down by the time you are a Freshman in HIGH SCHOOL.
Okay? Kobe learned to play in the post himself too. Him training with Hakeem was just him polishing up his footwork. And Kobe skipped COLLEGE. Not every needs college to be a success
Demian Tello Nope you little kid. There were no video tapes back then and most of Dr J's games in the ABA are not available anywhere or where they aired. And Dr J did NOT have a post up game or a pull up jumpshot. I hate to see you apply this logic when you have to find a real job one day instead of your current $7/hr you have now.
at1212 b Don't be such a goddamn moron. Kobe and all the stars in today's game know the fundamentals since at least High School if not in middle school. And way to assume what kind of job he has. To assume is to make an ass out of you and me. Don't make an ass of yourself.
never utilized the post like kobe did you could really tell the difference it made after kobe session with Hakeem LeBron showed it alittle put in terms of post skills kobe would get an A and LeBron a B-
Damn Kobe is coming to destroy everyone in the NBA now the only thing he needs to work on a lil is his defense and we could all say he the best sgain even tho to me he is the best better than LeBron
Dude, Hakeem has too many moves. All these videos show tons of variants and it's just the post game! Damn Michael Jordan. I was too busy watching him and missed a lot of Hakeem.

I've seen the other videos where Hakeem is practicing with Lebron, Melo, and Amare, and it's clear that Kobe's overall mechanics are much more fluid compared to these others.
I totally agree. Those players that you mention are not fluid players
You are correct.
Hakeem was a 280 pound center and his post moves are far more fluid than LeBron, Melo, And Dwight
Isaiah Thomas
You are correct. All these guys are not fluid in their moves. The just try to over power
Isaiah Thomas He was only around 250 pounds.
Kobe is smarter than other guys in learning skills.
Sponge
Kobe is a student of the game. Look how easily he learns all these moves.
Practice, practice, practice. Everything will become natural with time.
Kobe is the closest out of anyone I've seen working with Hakeem to mirroring his footwork.
agree, I like the smoothness of Kobe's move and footworks
Yea, and Kobe is 6'6 and Hakeem is like 6'11 7'0, that tells you how special he is.
Hakeem likes the smoothness of Howard's move, but it is Kobe who mirrored more of his footworks, Kobe has great footwork skills
Kobe is also closest out of anyone to mirror Michael Jordan's footwork.
he advance more from Michael Jordan's footwork, he has the greatest footwork now on the NBA,
Since pickin this move up I have been dominant against guards. I thought to myself how I could be dominant as a guard with a decent three pointer and decent handles and I found this vid and now it's been so simple to score against guards since they have no post IQ
Underrated post
hakeems moves are not that hard to learn. what's hard is how he executes it. he is just so smooth, he makes everything look so easy and simple in one swift motion.
his falling away jumpers is so insane
rakinruldude14 it's not the moves themselves. It's learning how to set up counters and be ready to have like 3 to 4 moves before you catch the ball. Dream was just awesome at that. Just the simplicity he showed against Robinson. Wow.

That's the part that's hard to learn. You have to drill it to be able to do it effectively in the NBA
yes indeed as if he did it gracefully
i love watching these videos. he's teaching Kobe but good for anyone, helps.
If you modelled your game by these two and succeeded.. .... you would be unstoppable
Wouldn’t be surprised if Kobe showed up an hour before to the gym to get warmed up before Hakeem got there, true student of the game.
The Dream is such a master. Just look at it! Even Kobe, one of the top 3 shooting guards of all time, learns from the most fluid center of all time! Hakeem still is the man in the middle! Gosh I hate the fact I'm so young I was barely able to see players like Olajuwon and Jordan to play...
Man Rip Kobe. Kobe said in another interview how much respect he had for the Dream as a basketball player. Legends respect legends
I use this move all the time now. It's so great and easy to do.
This move is soooo freaking difficult to do which makes it impossible to defend against.
Hakeem is truly one of the best , if not the best Center to ever play the game.
His moves transcends to every position in a basketball team.
Even guards learn from him.
Which begs the question- Where did Hakeem get these moves from?
Genius? You bet!
+Hoops Journey you in the NBA?
+Hoops Journey you must be great....maybe better than Jordan....YOU THE GOAT
+Prince Cyrill: Warriors fan since 2015! Curry has no post moves,just saying.....
+Prince Cyrill: Warriors fan since 2015! you must be lonely....
+Prince Cyrill: Warriors fan since 2015! and that's sad.
Dam man, hakeem looks like he could come back to the nba and school most current players, at reduced minutes of course.
What a duo to see on a camera. The details make the difference between an average player and a superstar. I wish I could call these two legends for one of my videos lmao
Rest in paradise Kobe...
KOBE is Olajuwon's best student and he's a guard. Dwight is his worst and he's a Center. smh the NBA today would get Murdered by the NBA in the 90's
you gotta remember though due to the new rules implemented by the nba a few years back gives more leverage to guard play than forwards/centers.
but i most def agree with you on this. the league has gotten much softer over the years.
definetly the best student... or maybe the only real student ..
It all has to do with their will to be great. Dwight has had Hakeem, Ewing, Kareem, and Mchale . He is still doing the same move from high school
King Day his best student was YAO MING
I couldn't stand Kobe as player, but he was an excellent STUDENT of the game. He gets it. He understood the way of learning, adding, and changing your game in a way that you don't use as much energy. Yet, you maintain the same EFFECTIVENESS. That was how the 80's and 90's separated themselves. They were supremely gifted in similar ways as these athletes today, but they were students of the game and coachable until their last game.
The training definitely shows in game when players train with Hakeem.
Definitely I noticed that with LeBron recently he posts and shakes all the time. Catch and spin the lot. What a great teacher to have!
I would love to see Andrew Wiggins working on his footwork with Hakeem
E Boogie That could be cool, Wiggins already has insane footwork for a rookie, he could totally master the post under Hakeem.
E Boogie You do know Wiggins dad played with Hakeem back in the day. Pretty sure if Wiggins wants it. It will happen.
E Boogie he need to work on other thing besides post footwork
+Lucas Osuna I think post move footwork should be master first
Post move better than crossover
Hakeem is very good, it's amazing to see how even the "best" basketball players in our day don't get everything right. Hakeem trains them well to loosen up and move naturally but they're so stiff lol
Hakeem is a poet
top two best players when it comes to footwork
Kobe’s shooting form is art
From touching a basketball at the age of 15 to teaching "present" NBA Stars.
Hakeem = best basketball mentor
Kobe = his best student
R.I.P Kobe
I'll say this about Kobe...he's a smart and hard worker. He may not be as efficient and natural as MJ but he worked hard to come up. He could've caved after the 97 playoffs in Utah
If you watch closely hakeem all he says is to push suddenly with the toe on the front leg to make more space on the shot between you and the defender but suddenly and fast.your body must be leaning forward without showing that you are gonna fade away.foot and body must fade real fast and really backwards when you decide to shoot
R.I.P for kobe
Beautiful, simply Beautiful❤️
Kobe looks smooth with Dream's moves. LBJ looked too rough when he tried to execute those moves..
Just used these moves in a pick up game @ 24 lol thank you dream
RIP kobe
Yes, from 2009.
damn. they make basketball beautiful !
What's James Harden doing there
Kobe bests Carmelo in Christmas duel!
@ 1:14 kobe uses the exact move in game. Greatness!!
No, it's a different move
not even close
kobe is a "MASTER" because he learns it from the "REAL MASTER"..
Dam his skills are sweet as gold.. wowwww
Damn!! This footwork is very hard! jump turn and land on the right foot, then fade away. Be careful when landing, very easy to injure your knee.
Only overweight 50 year olds would injure their knee doing this
kobe has the footwork of hakeem olajuwon, with ball handling of allen iverson, with the athleticism of DR J , with the perimeter touch of reggie miller and with the killer instinct of michael jordan.
Hakeem look so smooth.
Hakeem seems to be such a nice guy
th-cam.com/video/45ix5EeEYms/w-d-xo.html
This game Kobe really used this move twice on Dwade starting from 8s in the video
Kobe is the only one that has went to the dream and has actually used the post moves.
love the sound of silent basketball.
He's probably the only one that learned from Hakeem. Other guys, Lebron, Dwight, Amare, Javale, they all suck in the post.
lebron is amazing in the post, what are you talking about?
***** Al Jefferson is the only person better in the post.
What were the guys talking about in the first 40s or so I just heard something about Southwest Houston which is where I live lol
Man, a 46 year old Hakeem is showing up prime Kobe in this video. That's crazy.
It already looks like KB24 has a strong mastery of the Dream's moves.
Hakeem is in better shape then half of teens today.
That's in Miami
Kobe picked this up quicker because MJ had a mean post game, best post game for a non big man by far
How would I do this move on the other side?
You can hear people in the back ground in the beginning
A center teaching a shooting guard on how to low-post
These moves are easy for Kobe because he was already doing them prior to meeting Hakeem. See, my favorite player Jordan downloaded Hakeem's post skill package along time ago and Kobe downloaded Jordan's ENTIRE move package so this was rather easy for Kobe.
Jordan stated himself he based his game off Julius Erving. Shut up and enjoy greatness
You mad young man?
Never, I just appreciate greatness and give credit when it's due instead of making sly remarks when I'm nowhere near a certain players level.
that is complete bullshit thats one thing the goat does not have is a better footwork than kobe yes a better fadeaway of course but footwork? and a variety of moves within that footwork? nah fam
very close to Dirk's signature move
cobe was the only real student ...best impersonator ever ever first mike than the dream .. thats why he is one of the best ever
By touch landing looks like you are creating your own space for the shot while making it almost impossible to block?
Isn't this move dirk nowitzki s fade away stepback jumper?
No,its Hakeems.
Adam Colter Dirk learned Hakeem's step back jumper by watching him play. Kobe learned all of Jordan's moves from watching him play when Kobe was growing up.
description says 2009
When you shoot better than your teacher
its like so smooth the way his post moves are compared to kobe
Hakeem the Great
Kobe always holds on to the ball a second longer than necessary when shooting
straightlead8 because of his shooting form.
and I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
This was in 2009...
have you never seen a jump stop or hop step before in basketball? if you jump off the ground while gathering the basketball and land on two feet simultaneously there's no reason it should be a travel.
best move taught by hakeem
I watched it coach this is Khwanay
isn´t that stepback at 1:10 a travel? i´m not sure..
No i think its a dropstep
it's from 2009
Dude with the beard gets to throw passes to two legends.
I’d be nervous as a mug.
Kobe is a quick learner.
Kobe...master of stealing moves from the masters
MJ said himself he based his game off of Elgin Baylor and Dr J. Watch their highlights and it looks very similar to an MJ highlight reel.
As oppose to Lebron... master of not learning anything from the masters.
really... you're one of those guys? you don' think MJ "stole" moves from dr. j, baylor, or west? what about lebron, he "copied" kobe's fade away when he was in the league.. how about Magic and "stealing" kareem's baby skyhook... you're a fool.. basketball is a game that is built and learned from the past
i meant it as a compliment...
All moves can be copy by a player wether who originate it . only the best will be appreciated
Well, they did win 2009 and 2010 championships, so thanks Hakeem xD
Would love to see the dream work with KD
Giannis should work with hakeem fr
Effortless for the DREAM
Yea, if Dwight paid attention he would be a champ by now
Wow finally see what Kobe was doing wrong
the whole point of this training video is to show that these "superstars" don't move as they should naturally, they're stiff and you would think with all that money they would know better but obviously compared to Hakeem they don't.
Don't fade
Notice how MJ had to learn to play the post himself? Or not from an all time great. Nowadays, basic fundamentals are so lacking, they have to seek out the stars instead of learning it in college.
at1212 b You don't learn the fundamentals in college, at least you're not supposed to. I started learning the fundamentals starting at 5 yrs old. You're supposed to have the fundamentals down by the time you are a Freshman in HIGH SCHOOL.
Okay? Kobe learned to play in the post himself too. Him training with Hakeem was just him polishing up his footwork. And Kobe skipped COLLEGE. Not every needs college to be a success
MJ looked up to Dr. J and used some of his moves to improve himself and thats what kobe is doing he is learning from hakeem
Demian Tello Nope you little kid. There were no video tapes back then and most of Dr J's games in the ABA are not available anywhere or where they aired. And Dr J did NOT have a post up game or a pull up jumpshot. I hate to see you apply this logic when you have to find a real job one day instead of your current $7/hr you have now.

A mọ pe o jẹ ọrẹ ati oludamoran si Kobe, nitorinaa a n gbadura fun ọ ni oni.
no wonder why kobe was hard to stop....
The guy who gets to pass is lucky
They REALLY need to stop talking in the background
never utilized the post like kobe did you could really tell the difference it made after kobe session with Hakeem LeBron showed it alittle put in terms of post skills kobe would get an A and LeBron a B-
Thats a travel you cant jump of a foot and land back on it with the ball
LeBron's pretty good too...
I bet that arab guy with the beard moves better than these new generation of basketball players, obviously he would if he's being taught by Hakeem.
lebron did
Damn Kobe is coming to destroy everyone in the NBA now the only thing he needs to work on a lil is his defense and we could all say he the best sgain even tho to me he is the best better than LeBron
lol
Dude, Hakeem has too many moves. All these videos show tons of variants and it's just the post game! Damn Michael Jordan. I was too busy watching him and missed a lot of Hakeem.
Shoot faster
You must not play basketball. Keyboard warrior, form police. keyboard coach
