Kobe fans still fail to realize Kobe is a 45% career shooter, yet he's the best at everything

Jordan was living of his fadeaway in 96-98, the same goes for Dirk and his fade and Kareem with his hook shot. You know when those shots are coming, you guard them extremely well, but they still go in.
Right and wrong.
Right that Hakeem did not pull off the move that often.
Wrong that by avoiding pump fakes you could stop it. Even Hakeem didn't know what he was going to do once the move started. What choice did the defender have? I think this is why he didn't pull it off on automatic, because throughout the game Hakeem figured out if his defender was gonna bite on certain fakes (a la Robinson) or stay floorbound (a la Tim Duncan) and then unleash it at the right time to maximum effect. You were faked out 4 to 6 times on the same move.

Re: Most unstopable Signature Moves in NBA History
I think it's more interesting to give credit to those "original" signature moves, e.g. Wilt's finger-roll, which's definitely original;
Jordan's fade away is not original...
Akeem's dream shake is not original either...
Thompson's original move, Big O brought cross pass into league, Cousy brought circus pass into league, how can we ignore Pistol? Dr. J's move, etc..

LBJ's ability to knock down a jumper if you give him too much space or steam roll to the cup at will when you play too close.

I was searching for a Barkley move, but he just didn't have a signature move.
I thought about the baseline spin and slam, but Shaqs was better because of the physical size difference.
As much as I hate your approach to basketball analysis, we share a love for Barkley as our favorite player of all-time and I respect your knowledge of the game, though not your conclusions.
Barkley was the most unstoppable offensive force I'd seen besides Michael Jordan and at the time it was happening I believed and argued that Barkley was the better player.
What other moves do you most remember Barkley for using regularly.
I hated that leaning face-up fade away he used in his Suns days, but he got pretty good at it.
To me, his signature move is drawing an illegal defense. He mind-****ed so many defenses in his day with his wing/post isolations.
Anyway let me know what you think the other candidates would be.
