Kareem Abdul Jabbar's Skyhook was inspired by Fil German Kurt Bachmann Jr

An 11-12 years old Lew Alcindor saw an exhibition game of he Philippines and US in 1959. And he saw Kurt using the Skyhook, and Kareem perfected it. He even wore number 33 as a tribute to Mr Bachmann.

F*ck that miserable prick. 1 ring in the ABA era hahaha

Everybody copys Jordan's style of play. I never seen one guy copy kareem's hook shot. Not that memorable and always needed magic or Oscar running the offense.
