Who Says Kareem's Skyhook Was Unstoppable?

[Col. Bleep]

Bill Willoughby did it.
(He followed Moses Malone as one of the first guys to go right from high school to the NBA).
I happened to come across this while looking for something else...the way I seem to find most things of interest.


That was an inspiration to find more.

Wilt blocking it twice on the same possession:

Nate Thurmond blocking a skyhhook/layup before Kareem can get it off:

And just to keep this on topic...at 1:32 here you can see Kareem hit the skyhook over Danny Schayes:

There are exceptions to every rule. Kareem was not blocked very often and remains (imo) one of the top 3-4 players of all time.
1) Jordan
2) LBJ
3) Russell
4) Jabbar
5) Chamberlain

Off the top of my head so don't hold me to it...

Regardless of who's the greatest player discussion, if I'm picking my team I've got Wilt as my first pick.
