I think splitting doubles is something Price did [B][SIZE="3"]regularly hence the confusion[/SIZE][/B].

[SIZE="3"]jordan got doubled on the perimeter more than any player in history so comparing him to price is a joke.. and obviously, he split them far better than price and it's not close - does he LOOK like he's unaccustomed to splitting double teams or not an expert at it?

Here he is rocking an MJ jersey. :cheers:

Ive seen Earl Monroe split the double off a screen with a behind the back through the legs move. Nobody we could find invented anything. Price made it fairly well known. Like Marburys running back style gather step. Im sure people did it earlier...but he made it well known.

funny how Price gets credit for it, but MJ and others did it so much better before he ever did it... :facepalm

just like Elgin Baylor made the [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=354072][u]Elgin-Step[/u][/url] a common move, but euros get credit instead, and it's called a eurostep... :facepalm

btw, here's another behind the back split of the double... he gets to the rim with only one dribble after the crossover to split the double (it's usually zero dribbles) - again, this is the highest level of [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=360900][u]navigation efficiency[/u][/url] and represents the goat combination of skill/athleticism.

I'm not sure if you mentioned it yet but it's called navigation efficiency.

Its not really funny...its just sports.

Mikan 60 years ago. Dirk will always be credited with the one foot fadeaway. Its no slight to Mikan. Dirk made it well known...a big part of his game.

Not like Kareem created the hook...or even his version. Guys were shooting picture perfect sky hooks in the 40s. Dolph Schayes had a mean one in the 50s. Pettit too....though he said he retired it when Bill Russell caught it.

You cant keep getting annoyed with such things. You would never have a moment of peace. Its....endless.

OP is making me angry. I hate you OP.

3ball has to be the worst gimmick in history of the internet.

[QUOTE=The Immortal]Fantastic find. Also..

Jim Neal of the Syracuse Nationals during the 1954 finals almost pulls off the skyhook in this clip: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkD4GRGdCZI#t=4m24s[/url][/QUOTE]
kareem has never been credited with inventing or popularizing the skyhook.

the skyhook was a very common move before kareem ever used it... there are tons of white dudes in the 50's where all they shot was skyhooks.

the move sort of died out though, and kareem was the only one left using it.

in the GIF below, look specifically at horace grant under the rim - the rules in previous eras didn't require horace to stay [url=http://www.nba.com/nba101/misunderstood_0708.html][u]within armslength[/u][/url] of his man, so he decides to stop under the rim and camp in the paint, instead of following his man toni kukocs out to the 3-point line in the far corner - this allows Horace to get there AHEAD OF TIME to block MJ, but MJ dunks on him anyway...

otoh, look specifically at harrison barnes near the far corner below - durant must stay [url=http://www.nba.com/nba101/misunderstood_0708.html][u]within armslength[/u][/url] of barnes to remain in the paint - so durant goes towards the edge of the paint to stay within "armslength", and consequently, he's late coming over.
