    In terms of degree of difficulty to stop, Elvin Hayes turnaround definitely deserves to be on that list.

    Can't stop a 7 foot jump shooter who can shoot over anyone in the league.

    Good list, but IMHO, Wilt's turnaround jumpshot in the lane from 8-10 ft early in his career was his best offensive move. Here again, it is too bad that YouTube removed the footage. Chamberlain actually had solid 15 ft range in the first-half of his career. Of course, he could power in for dunks as easily as Shaq did in the 00's, too.

    As for Kareem's sky-hook, probably the dealiest shot in NBA history...BUT, even a 34-35-36 year old Wilt could get to it. He blocked some 15 of them in the '72 WCF's alone...and forced Kareem into wild misses on considerably more attempts, as well.

    Shaq's point blank dunks, aided by overpowering his opponents was probably the most unstoppable shot in NBA history.

    Yao Ming's turnaround? He'd be a lock for the hall-of-fame and the best center in the league right now if he was healthy. Damn shame.

    jordans fade away's were pretty ridiculous. i remember he'd post up a guy from 10-12 feet away, do a couple head fakes and make the turn-around jumper almost every time. and there was absolutely nothing you could do about it.

    lol @ MJ's fadeaway at #2 for most unstoppable move. The myth of MJ lives on at insidehoops. dude has his fair share of 25+ shooting nights on $hit percentages shooting that fadeaway.

    I wouldn't put it at unstoppable, but Lamar Odom going left to the rim when he has the ball at the top of the key is money.
