Yeah that would be nice to see. I do think there is a chance that today’s NBA would somehow counter that move. He would have to turn his shoulder to get the move off when he catches square off the post up, creating the opportunity for people to double or worst case strip him as he does so.

@@elmini That is just a false narrative because there nothing to do but acknowledge he is as great as anyone. The centers today compared to the 70s and 80 are dogshi!
The most unstoppable and reliable shot ever! If the game was on the line and you needed a basket to win, Kareem would be my go to for the shot. No one else was ever even close.
I was thirteen or fourteen, and developing and learning the game during this period as a future Division 1 collegiate player. I hope the young guys viewing this video totally understand and fully appreciate how tremendously great this man was. Look at the inside foot work, spin left, spin right before going into the sky hook rotation. In the paint domination, semi mid range sky hook domination. This is totally a lost art in today's game. If he were in the game today with the spread offense and lane wide open, he might average per game 50 or 60 points. So much technique and facility. His ability to find the open man in the low post is phenomenal. I don't believe comparing different positions to each other, but arguably the GOAT within any position. He won mulitple championships in high school, college and NBA and broke records.
I am subscribing to this channel without even watchin this first vid I've seen from you strictly because of the title to this vid and more specifically.. The word.. BEHOLD.. Cuz hell yeah.. I watched most of Kareem's Laker's career And yeah.. It was something to behold!
@@tyjohnson3111 assuming op was using true shooting Kareem’s true shooting in the 76-77 season 60.8% a shade under 10% better than league average 51.1%. In the postseason it was 64.6% true shooting, up to 13.5% better than the league. One of 2 postseasons to average 34 ppg on true shooting 13+ percent better than league average, the other being Donovan Mitchell in the bubble.
@@boldus9293 🔥 that’s pretty interesting. What about his FGA relative to his FTA? And his USG%, FTr, and Offensive Load? I think people like to swept this season under the rug for Kareem even though he basically willed his team to the WCF single-handedly.
And don't forget....he's the league's most dominant shot blocker at this time. And, if you look it up, you'll see Kareem has more blocks than anyone in league history, including Olajuwon
This man was a beast on every level. A young freshman kareems second string team for UCLA beat the national champions which was UCLA and it was all because of Kareem
Walton couldn't do a thing with Jabbar. I remember when Kareem was nearly automatic with that sky hook. In his best years he rarely scored less then 30 points.
That hook shot was such a lethal weapon it opened up every other part of his game because if you didn’t focus on that he would just rise up and hit it with consistency
Jabbar got to where he could nail that sky hook from the baseline 12 to15 feet from the basket at 50% or better. I would take Kareem over any other center in history because he had the only shot that nobody could get a glove on and it was exclusively his shot. For a guy his size he had a soft touch on a regular jumper up to 12 feet or so. He also swatted down enough shots in his career to scare anyone from strolling into the lane for an easy shot. He damn near eliminated that part of the floor from the other team. I saw opponents try to shoot in the lane and alter their normal shot fearing that Jabbar would block it. He took them out of their game but nobody took him out of his.
People forget that the skyhook was not the only move he used. Kareem in his Bucks years would sometimes post up on the left block, then do a turnaround jumper while leaning on the defender and drawing contact. His height made this nearly unstoppable, and his floaters, midrange jumper and one legged runner were just as deadly.
3:06...Walton, one of the greatest defensive Centers of all time was so afraid of the righty sky hook that he just gave up easy left handed layups and rim dunks.
The real goat 🐐 that dominated at every single level 6 regular season MVPs 2 finals MVPs and 6 championships plus having the most unstoppable move in NBA history and being the all time leading scorer he’s one of a kind I still can’t believe people still talk about lebron and Jordan man Kareem clears both of them

There were 5 guys that were pretty much in the discussion for the GOAT center. Many say it was Shaq, and he was a beast for sure. Others like Wilt, he averaged 50 points per game for an entire season. Better say that again; 50 a game average over an 82 game season. Bill Russell is favored by still others because of his domination in the lane on defense and because his teams won 11 championships in 14 years. If anything should be said twice it's that; Bill Russell's teams won 11 championships in14 years. They expected to win every year and they nearly did. Hakeem Olajuwon was the most physically talented I believe. At 7' 1" he could make moves around the basket that were difficult to defend. Then there's Kareem. I remember at 12 or 13 watching him dominate year after year after year. He was relatively thin so he could run the floor and he could handle the ball and once in a while he'd run a fast break. Because he was flexible and nimble he had the edge on all other far less mobile centers. If you didn't like the Lakers back then then you had to turn off the game because he could nail that hook shot like it was a walk in the park. He would piss you off because you began to wonder if he's ever going to miss one. I have to go with Kareem as the GOAT center.
I've seen highlights of Kareem on RUclips before. But not in this fashion of highlights. Even this version of Kareem will kill it in today's NBA and this is prime Kareem. Ain't nobody stopping that "Sky Hook" in the NBA lol.
I wish we had more footage of 50s, 60s, 70s basketball. It's not your fault (MaxaMillion711) that we don't have enough highlights of players from the 50s,60s,and 70s players though.
i think people forget how good Kareem Abdul Jabaar was! He was not flashy just one of the best to ever do it. i mean 7'2 and was a real good athlete! i mean you don't become the leading scorer of all time and third in rebounds and third in block shots and not be considered the goat! He could also pass the ball like no other big man.
great video.....glad to see this .....some people act like the awesome former NBA stars as great as they were never existed.....much respect for your work....please do one on the Doctor, DR J.....another player that gets no respect.....Connie Hawkins, Elgin Baylor, Dr J, and David thompson are the reason these highflyers of today ( and that include MJ and Kobe) play the style that they do.........great vid.....KAREEM LIKE WILT WAS UNSTOPPABLE
