Article on Kareem's signature Sky Hooks and his numbers in the post throughout the 1982-83 playoffs:

The counter on the bottom left corner keeps track of the points per possession Kareem produced with sky hooks.

Do not fear the man who has practiced 1000 moves 1 times. Fear the man who has practiced 1 move 1000 times

1:31 Aw S___! Yep, that's the proper response to the sky hook.

That's amazing project and outstanding article. Kareem at 35 years old was better post scorer than probably anyone in NBA history. He was really special with his coordination and skills despite such a huge size.

It seems that there are all games available from 1983 ECF between Spurs and Lakers. I have only games 4 and 6 unfortunately. Is there any possibility to get the rest of the series? Gilmore vs Kareem matchup is really exciting to watch and I'd like to make video about this duel.

Kareem and Hakeem the Dream are my favorite centers of all time

Man they just kept feeding him...doing damage with the skyhook, not just a hook, but skyhook. Also hearing Bill Raftery, used to love him at the old Big East tournament "Georgetown starts out man-to-man...and the kiss"

Cool upload really shows how despite his size Kareem’s success was predicated on his skill overall.

Its amazing how no one could block it. For someone 7 foot 3 Kareem had really good foot work. That's impressive for someone that size

[Spider-Complexion]

Crazy to see that he even did the skyhook with the left hand

[truth.]

When LeBron James reach the 40, 000 point mark he will still be behind Kareem in field goals made.

[Jmurda]

was dropping that hook off from all over the court 🤣🤣🤣

[Solitude]

The closest I've seen a player recently that can do the sky hook is Anthony Davis
