Good news! It has always mystified me that more bigs don't try to add this to their games.
I posted a month ago the skyhook would be the perfect addition for him. If he became proficient at it we’d be talking 5 plus MVPs. It’s unstoppable, low injury risk, and exerts minimal energy. He could be a scoring monster and still have energy to play balls out on defense.
I'm sure Kareem would gladly work with him if was asked.
The last player we had work with a retired Laker HOFer defected. No ing thanks. He can watch film.
the skyhook requires use of the off arm to shield defender which is illegal........the move can not be used in modern nba for that reason.....
Superstars get away with everything. We got one. I expect the league to let that go
Wemby is already cheating as it is, if he adds a sky hook he should be outlawed.
Exactly. Nephew, PG 13, Giannis & LBJ use that off arm illegally every ing time they get into the paint. League aint got the balls to call that on the superstars. At least not more than once every two weeks or so.
Doesn’t even have to be a sky hook. Just a consistent go-to jump hook would be lethal at 7’4.
Thats bull . The off arm is used all the time. It can be used to fend off defenders. When it is used to extend and push off that is the foul.
It's such a ing easy shot to master with both hands.
The other shot I think Victor should bring back is the shot that put the Spurs on the map: the finger roll. Wilt had a finger roll that he would use in the post that was amazing.
He could easily be well above the rim every time he shoots this shot. If he learns to just toss the ball down towards the hoop anyone blocking it would be goaltending. Basically an unstoppable move.
needs to get into position first...dude always gets pushed out of position when he catches the ball down low
Meh... Timmy always got called for the dumbest and on offense he got fouled WAY more times than was ever called
That is no sky hook
Might need to bring back the master of the finger tip roll and let him tutor Victor.
Kareem had great footwork which is the first thing to master when learning a proper hook shot...
Wemby has great footwork already and will only get better.
Kareem would keep defenders off balance by being able to back up and "place defenders" on his hip and in position to take his steps and the actual shot was automatic.
Kareem also could shoot the sky hook from 12-15 feet consistently.
Wemby is going to nail it pretty quickly - i think.
So i guess were going to will this into existence
It would be better than the Admiral who had two moves, dribble past you or take a jumper...
Don’t forget Jokic. “He’s a genius in the paint” It looks like he’s throwing chicken wings and hooking the defender every time he scores down low.
I would say his passing is on genius level...but yeah, his personal post offense is basically him just being gigantic and overpowering people (plus he can shoot, which helps)
The joker is obviously crafty and can shoot, but what also stands out to me is his exceptionally high release point, from inside all the way out the 3-point line.
I don't think Wemby needs a sky hook.
It's a fun idea to imagine him with an unblockable shot, but the tradeoff on the sky hook is that it makes the shot longer than it has to be and it is vulnerable to the blind double team.
Most of Wemby's jumpers and jump hooks and anything else he can do will already be unblockable without making those sacrifices.
