how do they distinguish isolation from post ups?

For the most part a Post Up is when Hakeem starts with his back to the basket. Isolation is strictly a face up move. Remember he used to do that crossover dribble from as far out at the 3 point line and pull up for a quick jumper.

yea that's why im surprised his "isolation" efficiency seems so low. hakeem had a lot of moves where he posted up then pivoted and did a face up move...

He was a bit more effective with a pull up jumper (44.8%) & driving to the basket (68.4%). It was usually set up by his crossover dribble.

Color that shot chart in with the green, yellow, and red.

Ain't nobody got time for trying to figure it out the old fashioned way

[jongib369]

Thanks for this :cheers:

Would love to see one done for Bird, McHale and Kareem

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Good stuff :cheers:

I got a question though: If a player catches the ball with his back to the basket but then faces up - Do you count that as an iso or post-up?

[K Xerxes]

Second best player I've ever seen. Would have a GOAT level career if circumstances were more favorable IMO.

Depends how quick the move is made. There are certain times he would faceup in the post, but for the most part it was either his hook shot or baseline fadeaway. Plus he preferred the left block a lot more than the right.

[OldSchoolBBall]

Amazing midrange stats for a big on good volume. That's actually what stood out to me most when watching a replay of one of the Rockets/Knicks finals games on NBA TV a couple of months ago - dude was automatic in that 12-16 foot area.

dont tell me you didnt think of saying "how do they isolate isolations from post ups?" :lol

[winwin]

the best center in NBA history (after Kareem)

deal with it G.O.A.T

[DatAsh]

:eek: at that net Def rtg.

Reaffirms my belief that most of the all time great two way big men had an even bigger impact on defense than they did offense.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

I think Shaq is the most dominant PEAK player ever, but both Kareem and Hakeem's games would translate better today, imo, given the rules.

You wanna force them outta the paint? Good luck..they can both knock down that 10-12 footer.

My god, it would be hunting season against all the quasi "big men". :oldlol:

That is why he is the all-time block leader. Having Hakeem on court probably scared most players into changing their shot near the rim.

Outrageous - Charles Barkley (1992)

[i]He's one of the few guys who makes me cringe when I drive down the lane because I know that if he's anywhere in the vicinity, I might not only get my shot blocked, but I might also get my head blocked at the same time. Hakeem doesn't care what he blocks, as long as it's round and smooth

Exactly but they claim he wouldn't dominate today .

You wont find one person who said that.

[LoneyROY7]

And people want to say Embiid potentially has THOSE kind of skills? Good luck with that.

[Legends66NBA7]

I don't know how I never heard that one, but I'm glad I have now.

Yeah, Charles always has some funny quotes.

By the way, it's good to see you posting again here.

Still waiting for Bird's from 1984 til 1988.
