    Hakeem had a nice one IIRC, Cousins has a good stroke on his hooks as well, Sky Hook though is a different story.

    Kobe's hook shot is one of the greatest among guards, imo.

    Magic has to be up there, too.

    McHale could throw the jump hook over either shoulder as good as anyone. A little like how Duncan uses the jump hook.

    Karl Towns through in a really sweet sweeping sort of old school mini-sky hook last night for Kentucky. Like a much smoother version of the one Dwight hurls at the rim every once in a while, which I'm sure he learned from Ewing, because Ewing used to use a similar face up, one bounce, two long stride prance that he'd jump off of, and just sort of throw it at the rim.

    Shaq? Either hand over either shoulder, could use the glass and could do it from quite far and from difficult angles

    Shaq's baby hook wasn't bad and Bird too.

    thats nice, I wish more players could use it and look that smooth. Wonder why the move is not taught and mastered by todays players.

    McHale's hook was unstoppable as well. His hook and his fadeaway were why we has such a devastating low post scorer.

    This is why Kobe's the GOAT. Last night he put up 2 excellent hook shots which causes people to talk about it.

    This thread is prime example of how influential Kobe is.

    McHale is the first one who comes to mind. Jerry Lucas gets points for the longest consistently accurate jump shot.

    Nobody comes close to Kareem, though. I can't for the life of me figure out why no modern 7-footer has perfected that same shot.

    It's not just about practice the talent must be there as well, Kareem has a knack for finding the rim.
