Kareems Shy Hook

I’ve been a sports fanatic my whole ife. I’m 58 years old. I especially enjoy basketball. What is the most fascinating thing in sport is how Kareem is the only person that has perfected the skyhook. No one else has been able to do it. I’m sure many many people tried to emulate it, but obviously they were not able to do it. It’s mind-boggling to me how only Kareem can pull off the skyhook. He could do it from 15 feet. Amazing. I think Kareem is very underrated.

Very amazing. At 7ft 2 with that wingspan, it couldn't be blocked. Amazing. As you said, he had a mid range skyhook at times.

Wilt Chamberlain, the GOAT, blocked it some though.

Wilt’s finger roll and fall away jumper were unbelievable

I actually agree with you on this topic. I won't make this a habit.
Wilt was the GOAT. He was the most dominating player in history. He was also one of the best overall athletes of all time.

Bill Russell usually beat Wilt by being smarter. Better defensive player. The best college center?
the late fellow deadhead, Bill Walton - 21 of 22 in the NCAA championship game - and the one he missed was probably goaltending!

And him and Bill Walton, either is the correct answer, are the best college players of all time, can argue for either as 1 and it is fine.
Magic had a pretty impressive sky hook.

There is an argument for Bull Walton

As the greatest CBB player of all time, but as I said before Lew Alcindor or Bill are the only options and there is no wrong answer.

Some say Bill Russell or even Pete. Bill won back to back championships at University of San Francisco.

Michael Jordan said Hakeem Olajuwon was the best all time. He owned Shaq when they played.
