This should warrant a perma-ban. Never mind the fact that this has absolutely nothing to do with the NBA.

Nice flop. Nobody even touched him.

Body strenght - ZERO
Body control - -1

[Redoks]

GOAT. And it's not even close.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Truth be told, though it was a nice move and incredible layup. Some decent athleticism, but he's doing it on a bunch of weak athletic specimen to begin with ...

FYI to OP, he pulled off an American move created by God Shammgod, so once again V-Span trying to bite the moves, creativity, and swagger of us American hoopers. Executing it on weak competition.

I'd love to see him try this with some great perimeter NBA defender on him, and not some slow of foot, smelly, bearded, lusting after his mother, hummus eating Greek scrub.

[CavaliersFTW]

If Sloth from the Goonies was guarding me I would pull that move too. Minus the flop though, because I have pride.

It isn't american move. That is famous move used by Dejan Bodiroga and he is older than Shammgod and by the time Shammgod was drafted Bodiroga already had 2 gold medals from EC and Olympic silver medal.

On this video from 0:28 you can see Bodiroga doing that move against USA

Ummm, no. False. Lie. That clip was from the 2002 FIBA games, dumb ass.

God Shammgod was pulling that move off in the mid to late 90's. He created the damn move.

It's essentially a euro-step (a move not created in Europe, either) but with the ball in hand.

Well, on the roll or bounce in front of the defender. Get your dribble history game up. Shammgod has one of the sickest handles I've ever seen. Along with the likes of CP3, Nash, KJ, Isiah, Timmy Hardaway, Marbury, B-Diddy, Francis, Crawford, and Iverson.

So what if clip is from 2002, he did it before that to.

Bodiroga started playing in 1990 so yes he is the one who invented it.

What do you think is more likely that Bodiroga watched Shammgod when he was still in HS or that Shammgod watched Bodiroga who played in finals of all international turnaments ?

Good dribble move, but not worth a foul call or it's own thread for that matter.

Also, what is with his foul shot? Barely moves his body at all. Minimal leg use, and his arms barely move. It's like a little flick shot, he's around 80% from the line so you can't really knock it if it works, but looks a little unorthodox.

I have clips of Jerry West, Lenny Wilkins, and Oscar Robertson doing that dribble drive in the early 1960's. They didn't popularize it like Shammgod because there was a lot less coverage back then, but the move definitely wasn't "invented" by Bodiroga. It is a move that is probably a lot older than any of us realizes, there isn't really anything complicated about it, people were probably doing it back before the 1950's for all I know.

Jerry West didn't use his left hand to dribble, and we're supposed to believe you have clips of him doing a move CALLED the "Shammgod"? Ummm, ok.

I can't hunt for the clips of him Oscar and Wilkins doing that move while I'm at work but what the hell do you mean West "can't" dribble with his left hand?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOZVRAy-HUQ

Did he favor his right? Obviously. Was he incapable of switching hands and using both to complete a move? Obviously not.

I know. But dude would move to his left, using his right hand to handle the pill. He didn't pull the Shammgod move off how it's supposed to be done. In dramatic and quick fashion. A form of the move? Maybe. No where in that video was there anything close to resembling the move in question.

It's impossible to determin who first did that move, migh have been some dude who never was a pro bb player who knows heck even my father says he did that move at pickup games so yes you are right Bodiroga didn't invented it but as you can see in the comments of the video Euroleague provided people mention Bodiroga. It's because he mastered that move and became famous for it, almost every great player has some move they are famous for even if they didn't invent it and that is a case with Bodiroga and that move.

It wasn't supposed too... I'm just showing you his left hand wasn't out of commission.

I already told you Bodiroga was famous and one of the best players in Europe before Shammgod stated playing at college so Bodiroga used it before him for sure.

You can call it as you like but the fact is Bodiroga used it before him and if you did it in Europe people will say Bodiroga and not Shammgod

[Le Shaqtus]

Are we supposed to be impressed by this? No wonder the NBA is better, we're just used to plays like that all the time I guess :lol

Yea, it was a move started on the courts and streets of DC. Not by a guy whose name sounds like a lunch meat.

Thanks for the video

In Seriba people just call it Bodirogas move

Yeah? No...

A dude named Danko Cvjetičanin did it back in 1986 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6fARNx8yTk)

So either Bodiroga "invented" the move at the age of 13, or he didn't invent sh*t...

Annnnnnd we'll never see the said clips.

[Fiba basketball]

Sorry must've overlooked this. Just saw

I later told Cavs I was wrong.

Anyway here's what I found out about this move

God Shammgod, a college basketball player for Providence and briefly with the Wizards in the NBA, is well known for his unique dribble move. The move is known as "The Shammgod" in the US.

However, the move has been dated all the way back to 1980 by Danko "El Killer del Perimetro" Cvjeticanin. A former player from Croatia. Yugoslavian forward Dejan Bodiroga is credited with popularizing the move. Bodiroga's version is called "El Latigo", which is Spanish for "The Whip".


Here is a link to the video called the story of shammgod

Right because I never provide any footage... Not like I have a Youtube channel for it or anything. :facepalm

Sorry no offense. I just don't believe you have footage of players using that move in the 60's. If you do you'd already made 10 thread about it.

Having watched the Yugoslav league in the 80s, I confirm it was Cvijeticanin's trademark move and probably his invention. Cvijeticanin is one of the best European pure shooters of all time, Stephen Curry-like.

[duskovujosevic]

i am sure cvjeticanin took that move from kicanovic. but there are no footages from 1970's

too bad espn hyped that move to be invented from some shithole ncaa player

[fandarko]

There's actually quite a lot of footage of Kicanovic in the 70s, but I haven't seen him perform that move. He had other crafty moves though.

It's highly probably several players came to the same idea in different places and eras.

Bodiroga's version was the most efficient, since he was 6-9 with a giant step. Cvijeticanin's mainly used it to create space for his J. I'm forgetting Manu, of course.

[Fiasco]

He could challenge ZBo's vertical with those hops.

[dannywpt]

It's kind of like looking at an unathletic, slow-motion version of something Derrick Rose does 3 times every game.

First of all, Lithuania's front line are NBA players. Second, it was not a move invented by God Shammgod. It was being done a lot by Dejan Bodiroga and copied by Shammgod, who saw him playing in big international tournaments.

[Euroleague]

Stop lying. That particular dribble was never done in the NBA in that time. You obviously don't even know what the steps of the move are.

[Andrew Wiggins]

damn what a scrub
