Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3938502, member: 199"] Like the OP fixation on hook shots. When I played BB I loved hook shots, especially banked ones - used to spend a lot of time on the black top just shooting them. (Of course I like playing pool and working bank shots there too.) It is one of those things in BB that seemed to disappear once everyone became obsessed with dunks, but every once in awhile a player rediscovers the hook shot and for a few years becomes a phenom again. It really is almost unblockable and not a difficult shot to master. Paige and other guards who drive into the trees use sort of a modified hook shot on many of their drives - the hand away from the defender in a looping full extension, just more of an sidearm delivery than the full over the head and shoulders.
