no one uses because its so hard to perfect.

you'll see curry make use of the baby hook in a nyk uni, jeffx

i dont think you can say any guards shots are unstoppable since most of them don't even shoot 50%

yao does a little hook once in a while, but i think these days the most unstoppable shooter is kobe or tmac.

It's really surprising that more people don't try to emulate it or develop their own variations of it. Even a consistent baby hook would be a good bread and butter move for today's big men.


For the life of me Andrew, I can't figure out why more of today's big men don't develop a hook shot. It would add so much to their game. Aside from Shaq's baby hook, who uses it?

The only way to slow down Kareem was to bump him out of his comfort area, and force him out of his range. Nate Thurmond was great at doing that. Kareem always said Nate was one of his toughest defenders. Moses Malone was no slouch either.


Apparently Andrew Bynum is bringing back the Skyhook :lol:

for guards probably the floater (not counting when you have a fucking yao ming guarding u)
for centers probably the shaq dunk (u just can't stop that once he gets going)
lol :D
y i say the floater is i remember tony parker crossing over devean george and shooting a floater over shaq and even shaq couldn't stop it(although shaq is pretty much earthbound these days) if u get it off quick and high enough the floater is probably the hardest to stop
