I found where Dirk got his one-leg fadeaway

[3ball]

i doubt anyone is surprised dirk's move came from the GOAT..

dirk must have rewatched this a million times to perfect it.. credit jordan with dirk's 2011 championship.. 7/7...

I legit thought this was gonna be a George Mikan thread. Should have known. I should have known.

Damn, 7/7? Looks like MJ lost in '06, no more perfect finals record

Hakeem was doing it too, back in the day

dirk didn't have the one-legged fadaway back in 2006.. youtube had just started as a company, so dirk hadn't gotten to see MJ highlights yet.

once dirk saw MJ footage on youtube (i'm guessing around 2009-2010), THAT'S when he developed the move... hence the championship in 2011..

what...people have been doing this for years

I love how much I hate you.

Uhh... ya. Not saying Dirk got his go-to move from Hakeem though.

Hmmm... that's very interesting... Apparently Hakeem had the move in 1995....

But he's a center, so that doesn't count - centers always use moves that no one else uses.

Whereas, Jordan was the first WING player to do it... the first non-center to do it.

Also, one thing we know for certain is that MJ never paid Hakeem to train him on post moves - that would be ridiculous... can you even imagine Jordan doing that?... obviously, he wouldn't be the GOAT if he had done that.

I can name a shit ton of guards/forwards who use post moves to score
