But apparently can't use "his greatest off-the-glass" ability for a free throw:

:rolleyes:

I really think Blake can end up being one of the best to utilize the backboard.


Duncan is clearly the Alpha Dog for me though, on this list.

[pudman13]

Two old-time Celtics:

Sam Jones
John Havlicek

[Dragic4Life]

Lebron James down the post. One of the greatest bank shot.

[SHAQisGOAT]

Sam Jones and Tim Duncan are the first that popped up in my mind.

missing field goal

made field goal

Just this.

[dontgetchoked]

Derrick Rose used to be so nice using the backboard when going for layups.

[FatComputerNerd]

Tim Duncan (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcZLLZU0OzI) is the obvious answer...at least among current/recent players.

Possible homer HM here but Kyrie is pretty amazing at using the glass, on both layups and mid-range jumpers.

[CavaliersFTW]

Wilt had a money bank shot

[choppermagic]

John Stockton would bank a pass off the backboard to the opposite post to a waiting Karl Malone. Dam, that was impressive to watch.

[Lebronxrings]

Wilt had a money bank shot
weak era, doesn't count.

Who Has the Best Bank Shot in the NBA? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIaCQEr1oM0)

[sammichoffate]

Kobe's been known to use the bank shot quite often, he said he stole it from Duncan one all-star weekend after playing one-on-one with him :lol

Word!

[AirFederer]

Fuarrrk, I love me some Dirk and Timmy. NBA will not be the same when they hang it up. They have it all, also bank shots. So cool a shot (when called)

Alright, I'll throw Kobe in the mix also, feelin' genorous today. :rockon:

Can you find a link to this? Would love to see that

That was horrible and sucked. Makes me wonder if he's really calling the shot. Duncan gets the PF position as money in the bank <-- Pun intended.

Pippen

Smoothest bank shot of all-time.

[inclinerator]

[Kblaze8855]

Ben Gordon made bank 3s like this too often to assume it was an accident:
