The sky hook is the most devastating offensive weapon in any sport that i've ever seen. It was just an amazing experience to see that shot day in and day out, not just the games, but practices too. He didn't take off practice. He was just a, a leader by example. The delight to play with him.
What’s the best shot in basketball? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly break down the physics behind what makes the Skyhook so effective, as well as one of the greatest eras with basketball greats, Jamaal Wilkes, Michael Cooper, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
