    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar& Michael Jordan

    I was just thinking about something... Did Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ever pulled of a 3-point sky-hook?... I know it sounds crazy but he did had a range of about 20 feet... Think about his game winning shot in the finals against the Boston Celtics...
    And I taught about something else, too... Did Michael Jordan ever pulled of a 360 dunk... Everyone says he was such a great dunker but I didn't once saw him pulled that kind of dunk... Can somebody give me a decent answer?
    Thanx

    I thought I remembered Jordan doing a 3-60 dunk. I might be wrong though.

    That is exactly what I was thinking the other day! (The MJ part anyways) I never saw him do any crazy dunks. He was dumb...Mad hops but no creativity. You can't say FT Dunk is creative because the Dr. had already done it twice! I have the vid. Also, I don't even recall any double pumps or self-alley oops! Shows how creative he was! [​IMG] Dunk Champ? Yes! But King of Dunks? HAHAHA. No.

    Yeah, I would say no to both too. Both were great great talents but I dont think I've seen or heard of them doing either.

    Heh, in the Sega Genisis game Bulls vs the Blazers and the NBA Playoffs, Jordan's signiture move is the 360 dunk. Pretty damn relibable move I must admitt. Gotten me into a few buzzer beaters in that game. So I think its safe to say that if Jordan can do a 360 dunk in an old video game, that we should be seeing 720 dunks in future basketball games. And I'm sure that Kareem has pulled of a 3 point sky hook, just not in an NBA game.

    The closest thing was his single defender, all alone 180 spin which the announcer called a 360. Plus it was a shot, so I'd have to say no, the most creative of his would be the side one handed windmills.
