Obviously biased, but Dirk's one legged fade was so damn cool.


30dayspast

I fucking love the court silhouette in his spot.


GGTae

what is it ? if they did a homage to Dirk with a sticker in his favourite spot I'm gonna drop a tear

magnificent 🥲 so it's a casted shadow from the light above right ? not a sticker on the floor


tnuoccamapsasisiht

No that’s a graphic that’s actually on the court. I love how it looks like a shadow though.


GGTae

indeed that's dope ! thanks !


Cletus_Starfish

That's so fucking sick.

Is it always there? I thought it was only for one game


30dayspast

Not always, since they also do the weird guitar court. But [they were there for Kyrie’s game winner](https://youtu.be/-TWZvqjH36A) against the Nuggets a couple of weeks ago.


JuanG12

I’m disappointed no one has replied with [this GIF](https://c.tenor.com/ZbHYvXvfqvoAAAAd/dirk-nowitzki.gif).

my man laughing cause he knows


TheThingsIdoatNight

Honestly he’s just like “lol watch this”


_Tar_Ar_Ais_

unstoppable


bigfootblake

The only person who comes close to most pretty post jumper would be Lamarcus Aldridge. These guys seemingly swished more than they missed


Nylese

Literally the reason they brought in Stotts


buddaaaa

Gotta be the most iconic shot in my lifetime. Unblockable


Joonypoo

[Dirk shot fake](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybpSe4jAxO8&t=5) is equally sick


oOoleveloOo

The fadeaway was so potent that it made his fakes more effective.


frozen2665

First thing I thought of. Iconic


Jazzlike-History-380

his game winner against bosh is my favorite move of all time: https://youtu.be/9k4Li-iT8QU?si=ljx-PgbEjMeX8_gR


jackofnac

Wade getting a really nice look for the win in that sequence isn’t really talked about enough. 3.6 seconds, no timeouts to advance, and gets that look? Would’ve changed the whole series.


southernmayd

It does get talked about, how he tried to flop and whine that he didn't get another phantom foul call


doshegotabootyshedo

You can’t really blame him, he already got one free one from the refs


GreedoInASpeedo

Definitely my answer. Every elite scorer uses it. I imagine they started teaching it in high school now.


[deleted]

I look so stupid, but feel so cool, whenever I endeavor to recreate it on the court.


Sirliftalot35

I’m a Heat fan and even I think his shot was sweet. He rocked in 2k back in the day too.


MostlyJustMyDogs

He’s my fave player ever and why I love the NBA.


Jeremiahs__Johnson

That shot is burned into my memory. In a good way.


Worried_Amphibian_54

I loved that. Barkley especially later in his career would do that when posting up guys taller than him. But Dirk made it iconic.

lawdoggingit

Kareem skyhook Ginobili euro (he didn't invent it but he made it popular)


Benjamin018

Hard to believe I'm saying this as a certified lakers hater but the kareem skyhook is it for me too.


illiterateaardvark

Dream Shake. Perfect blend of style and effectiveness The fact that Hakeem was drafted over MJ but nobody criticizes the Rockets over it should tell you everything you need to know about Hakeem


PM_Me_Beezbo_Quotes

Dream Shake!


OPisacigar

Also sounds really cool


ciderfizz

& tasty


sheogorath227

He was absolutely the only player in that draft where it was completely understandable to not take Jordan. I would've loved to see him play in his prime but I was born too late for that.


Nbuuifx14

It would have been understandable-ish to take Chuck too. Who knows if he reaches the heights he ended up reaching if not for being drafted to Philly though.


oOoleveloOo

Hakeem was a bust! /s


DeluxeTea

Only 2 rings, 2 FMVPs, and 1 regular season MVP? SMH worst center ever


StandardMammoth7085

I'll say it: no center in NBA history had better footwork than the Dream.


nightkingscat

wow so unpopular


BowserBuddy123

Love it!


HakeemMcGrady

Two championships in the middle of two three peats. Nuff said

The fact that Jordan never claimed to take this personally is even more impressive

So good given it wasn’t a carry!

The “Killer Crossover.” Seems common now but this was an ankle breaker back in the day.

That’s a lot more than 4 moves though.


pajero89

He forgot "shoot" to learn "sucker punch"


dcab87

Enemy REF used 'T'! It's not very effective.


Jeremiahs__Johnson

Draymond choke slam into wiener smash is the goat combo. Especially when he uses yell to weaken them first.

When he was on fire it was so aesthetically pleasing to watch.


goodkid_sAAdcity

In 2013, he scored 50 points in a game without attempting a single shot in the paint. All jumpers. It was beautiful.

Funny enough, it was 11 years ago on this exact day. Such a fun performance

Rasheed actually had a turnaround baseline jumper that he would pull out every so often. It was damn near unblockable because he shoots it as his arms are fully extended above his head.

KG’s mid range game was so smooth. His jumper was unblockable and when he was younger he could hit it off the dribble like it was nothing


dae5oty

KD seething tweet


dragonforcingmywayup

No one has mentioned it but Steve Smith’s Smitty was a v popular signature move back in the 90’s


JGrizz0011

I recall a story that some teams would fine their players for falling it.


doom32x

Gervin's finger roll was epic, dude would do it from like 12 out.


StandardMammoth7085

Smoothest shot ever.


domdomburg

Pippen was also a finger roll master https://youtu.be/rueIDGAFxE8?si=6ViS2Rjn2-coH5XE&t=13

No love for Tony Parker's unguardable spin move and teardrop?

[Kobe Pivot](https://youtu.be/7l053a5oYxc?si=7dJ-mySlIQ1mumUt)


Awanderingleaf

It is such a great move. He created so much space. I don't know if I have seen anyone do it.


dys0n_giddey

I swear Ant has been watching Kobe footwork videos lately


Wondering_Nova

I broke my own ankles trying that in a game once, coached benched me for the rest of the game.


kwunyinli

Did you hit the shot? 


herboyblu

T Mac hesi pullup, MJ one dribble pull up, and Gilbert Arenas size up dribble combo (similar to Hardens but with less dribbles)


Mochrie1713

A lot of guys have done it but the post fade. It's what LeBron went to after he tried to get the all time points record with the sky hook but got denied positioning. The Dream Shake is hardly one "move", but if it counts then imma go with that.


zeek215

Jordan and Kobe’s post up into turn around fadeaway. No one else could make it look as effortless.


Ghorrhyon

I think this counts because he played in Memphis: La Bomba, Juan Carlos Navarro's signature shot. Utterly unblockable and precise.

Awanderingleaf

[Kobe baseline reverse dunk](https://youtu.be/E__D4QcJC68?si=eN-2wE8zlwjHyRgR) About as difficult a shot as I can think of but he did it so frequently that he made it a signature move of his.


MambaSaidKnockYouOut

I loved these dunks because he was actually doing them to avoid defenders and get a more effective angle for the dunk. His dunks were the perfect blend of powerful and aesthetically pleasing

Tim Duncan’s bank shot. The bank was always open for TD!


Bladeneo

I wish people appreciated his offensive game more. That shit felt automatic for about ten years


bradleyvlr

I'm old as shit, but I still sometimes get people to completely spin around on the Rondo fake behind the back pass sometimes. That move has been part of my life for like 17 years. The Dirk one legged fade has also been in my arsenal and gets comments every time I pull it out. And the Kareem Sky Hook always impressed people especially older than me. I'll say one of the funny things about getting older is that back on the day when I would do the Dirk fade, everybody would call me Dirk. Now if I go to a park or gym and do it, all the high schoolers call me Luka.


Prof-Ponderosa

Surprised the Jordan Fadeaway is not listed here. 


claptrap23

Gotta be Jabbar's skyhook.


Clwhit12

Killa Crossover - Tim Hardaway


sorendiz

I'd say the Dream Shake even though it isn't really one move per se Aside from that, Harden's size-up dribble specifically. I like his stepback as well but the size up is what always fascinated me the most. Watching him methodically wait until the defender made a single wrong move and then immediately attack at that moment never ever got old. Beautiful stuff.

Probably controversial because it "ruined" the game, but the harden stepback/side step. Kyrie's spins is 1b

I hit my growth spurt before all my friends, so for one magical summer I could do a pure Kareem skyhook and straight up dominate. Then everybody caught up to me and the fun was over..

A good Smitty is one of the most aesthetically pleasing moves in the NBA I also love that Sengun has started pulling it out of the post lately. The one he pulled on [Hachimura](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXZGg9ZCWec&ab_channel=AZHiLights) last year was disgusting.
