Hakeem Olajuwon & Kobe Bryant - Baseline Spin Move

[@ChecKxThExKickS]

Does anyone notice how very little talking Kobe does? He's trying to take in as much as he can hint. He know how to take coaching and learning from one of the greats.

[@ChecKxThExKickS]

Yeah thats what i'm saying bru. Kobe is m fav player so i know he works hard for what he's got and accomplished.

[@htx8257]

Yea cause he's paying Hakeem a crap ton of money for a session...I'd shut up and listen too!

[@yaks1777]

San Hovy if there’s anything Kobe’s death teaches us all,is the difference from a man whom haters call selfish to a man who is probably the most willing learner

[@localneo-graphic4647]

Fav story was at him and Garnett's first All-Star game, he took them aside to straight give them his defensive secrets, Kobe didn't say shit and Garnett, known for being a defensive genius always trying to become even greater, stfu for probably the first time in his life as The Glove shared every defensive trick he knew. Then they'd always call each other after they pulled them off in the game to see if the other saw, like they were part of some secret club.

[@willthomas7666]

Lol Kobe had 10s of millions of dollars and Hakeem had alot of $$ to, it woudnt surprise me at all , if he’s not even charging Kobe, and he’s literally just doing it to help him out, and even if he was charging him which I don’t blame him, that’s nothing compared to what Kobe has or makes, Kobe literally prob makes more then that for 1 normal practice or 1 single game or day LOL, I don’t think jones worrying about paying $ for a practice my guy

[@DemonXY2J]

Hakeem looks like he could still own most centers in the league today

[@ersanshaq]

definitly!

[@kingjames6203]

Deante Daniel prove me wrong bitch

[@jimifriedman18]

Are you serious? Are you really truly serious? Because if so, then I don't even want to have this conversation.

[@kingjames6203]

Deante Daniel yeah we are done, you have no prove to back your argument, i do, i win

[@jimifriedman18]

No you haven't proved anything at all. I'm not engaging in this argument BECAUSE we can't prove it.

[@123123123CHUN]

the best among all the hakeem's students

[@samkab677]

Just because he was thirsty to learn

[@Ace-vf2uf]

True indeed.

[@Ma1q444]

Not really hakeem moves favor bigger players Kobe functioned more in the high post

[@Methadone4Life]

Damn right!

[@SlippyNips412]

​@@Ma1q444but he used a lot of these same moves to get it done in the post whether high or low

[@xdivisionvision]

No one utilized my post lessons better than Kobe Bryant - Hakeem Olajuwon

[@erebor4nierdzewny970]

Kobe learn from all LEGENDS... Me seing a Legend: Ooo, picture, hand-shake, etc Kobe: U shom me urmoves i master them better andlater ikick ur ass with ur own moves...

[@chazh2o]

If you love playing basketball, you can't watch this and not get excited.

[@theroseexperience]

agreed

[@KyleHurd]

Its so freaking true! And its fun to try to put them into your game! I do this particular move now as a Guard when I'm working in the post and it absolutely works!!!!

[@Honorarkonsul1081]

Hakeem seems to be in the same shape than in the mid 90s when he dominated everything with his combination of agility and power. fantastic sportsman. should be a NBA coach i suggest.

[@Bran-Da-Don]

It's amazing that a 6'6 guard would be the one to master Hakeem's post moves the best out of all the centers and small/power forwards who he taught. Also, that class of 96' was the perfect class because all the legends from the 80's were older but still good enough to challenge and compete with the new school era. They were able to learn so much from them before they aged out and retired.

[@bigpharmasports9120]

You know youre a legend when you are a center teaching one of the greatest guards of all time footwork.

[@baovo0386]

Kobe looks like a small Hakeem, so smooth

[@maclac48]

Rest Forever In Paradise Kobe. 🙏🏿

[@glenntabar248]

and also Hakeem enjoys teaching him because Kobe looks so fluent and smooth with it.

[@theroseexperience]

I love Kobe's reaction to the simple most on the baseline, he feels it.

[@wakaflokafamevevo]

i was watching that as well as comparing how him and dwight differentiate when being engaged and actively listening

[@isaiahglenn3943]

For anyone watching this, these are two of the greatest legends! Kobe was a legend learning from another one. This is more than just basketball. It’s the humility of these two men being able to acknowledge and respect one another’s game. I wish was their to watch it not for the basketball but for the moment of what it teaches to so many other men and women about connection and humility.

[@jsong21]

You can tell Kobe is really trying to learn the moves and has learned a lot of moves from Hakeem because we see it in his game when he plays. Other players who've learned from Hakeem like, Lebron, Dwight, and Stoudamire don't use any of the moves taught by argueably the best center to ever lace them up.

[@YEE941]

Stat uses em

[@hellaclownin]

jsong21 You can see Hakeem's teaching shown in Kobe's game fasho. Look up Kobe dream shake Wade. LOL.

[@MarmaladeMedia]

jsong21 lebron using them its just he doesnt use them unless the game is critical then he pulls out the hakeeem moves

[@CJVP99]

+jsong21 Kobe utilizes them the best and is easily the best post up SG/SF in the game....Lebron utilizes them sometimes not as much since he's still super athletic, Stat is starting ti use them more since his athleticism is going...Dwight doesn't ever use them like at all..his move is still just try to out power or running baby hook

[@AuditoryStorytelling]

+Ricky Adams Not really... Lebron, you can tell, dislikes post play. He wants to be a point guard, not a post player. Kobe WANTS to be in the post, so he studies every single detail taught by Hakeem and practices over and over and over until it's second nature. It isn't second nature to the other guys because they don't have as much desire or give the amount of attention that Kobe did to truly learn all that stuff. In my opinion, Kobe, Jordan, & Hakeem in terms of post fundamentals are the three greatest in that area (in no particular order).

[@roidfer]

Kobe is a good student, no wonder why he is one of or could be the Best player

[@koymatv9602]

2 of the best footworks the nba has ever seen

[@AuditoryStorytelling]

+King Magno Yepppppp

[@seaverrene6486]

How good was Olajuwon? Good enough to teach Kobe and Lebron how to play basketball 🏀

[@Batman-ol3xk]

Best Center

[@samkab677]

A big LIKE from me

[@glenthomas2396]

And dwight, webber, melo,smith, chandler, etc. His footwork, high or low post moves is unmatched by any player of all time. Second best Center Ever

[@FigProductions28k]

Kobe thought Olajuwon had the best spin move and he did

[@John_Fx]

Pretty sure that both of them already knew how to play basketball

[@KrismanX]

Watching a GOAT train a GOAT...Outstanding footage

[@John_Fx]

How can there be more than one GOAT?

[@tubenachos]

Dwight Howard's head exploded after watching this.

[@kisswriters]

Watching them is like watching two great painters ... their moves are so liquid ... absolutely love it

[@123rockstar2010]

Kobe is always improving his game. So inspiring

[@EmanresuThe]

These moves are so natural for Hakeem, there's no split second lag or body hesitation, just one smooth flow ;) Hakeem "The Dream"!

[@amelsfr]

I could watch this all day long

[@dcshow]

This video warms my heart

[@SuperGreyhulk]

Kobe has always had mad post game.

[@ATLienForLife]

Hakeem: The Master Teacher Kobe: The Master Pupil So Beautiful to Watch!

[@jacksonswette8463]

I think Kobe’s willingness to learn from others that may be better at a certain skill than him is what separates him. He doesn’t talk at all during this and just absorbs everything he can from Hakeem

[@2sicc377]

“LEGENDARY MOMENTS IN SPORTS HISTORY”.....KObE Implemented all of this in his game..#MAMbALIVES

[@chung0730]

Seriously, Kobe is the only player I see who took what he learned from Hakeem into the game. Melo, Dwight, Lebron dont even use the moves.......

[@Farriswheel23]

you forgot *shaq voice* JAVALE MCGEE!

[@YEE941]

I seen melo so it

[@rambosexy2009]

+gothatway09 nahhh you never did.

[@nuckingfutstv2562]

Patrick Charles melo does. Observe.

[@PieEater]

Lebron uses it to what u talking about

[@AuditoryStorytelling]

My two favorite players.

[@TheNBAMV]

Thank you for updating the channel more frequently. If you have anymore of these videos, I'd appreciate it if you would upload more of them, I'm sure as well as other fans :)

[@ajbones22]

Notice how much better Kobe looks in these Hakkem Practice Videos compared to Lebron & Dwight

[@p10547520]

Kobe was the first to do this

[@papz_2138]

R.I.L KOBE ❤ NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

[@DarwinDunks]

thanks for this move..I will use it in the game

[@CWJ0725]

Hakeem would easily school any centers in NBA these days.

[@baldheadedfreak]

Of all the players that Olajuwon taught his moves to, seems like kobe's the one actually using it on a regular basis.

[@christianbondekorsgaard2732]

compare this to the same video with dwight and the difference is obvious. Kobe WANTS to learn whatever, anything and everything he can. Mamba mentality all the way!

[@flynikes12]

its like the 2k legends training camp in real life

[@jamesmartin9401]

One thing, I do see the younger players of today using some of Hakeem's moves. They have to do it in their own ways and usually it's not a smooth, but they are implementing the basics of what he did with the Dream Shake, for example. Kobe was the one of the next generation after Hakeem that could actually COPY, what Hakeem did.

[@bjashore]

The most respectful, thankful and FOCUS student Hakeem ever had... 😌😌😇

[@tas0666666]

In an interview he told that being the best-shotblocker of all-time helped him develop his own moves which were almost undefendable..

[@nasTnate722]

I love how excited kobe is getting lol

[@Stan-rq2cq]

All the great players of this era and the previous Kobe, LeBron, Dwigth, Camelo, etc all took post game lessons with Hakeem. It says a lot!

[@WillOnDayZ]

Hakeem is a great teacher he explains well

[@joeblow5438]

How smooth and fast Kareem is. Damn

[@JohnGedeC]

Rip kobe already missed you :/

[@MatthewDamian]

Hakeem looks like he could still start for most teams in the NBA

[@CFH1962]

It's odd that the Dream is not well appreciated by most NBA fans, but most future legends n superstars consider him as their mentor

[@theonlygoodonehere2259]

they disrespect him for curry and dominant center guys like shaq and timmy d

[@ajjackson9216]

Rest up Kobe great student

[@bezzeler2000]

Before kobe never played in the post. He went down there and now he's one of the best post players in the league.

[@cheesesteakphilly]

Great footage of the Dream and the Black Mamba

[@tsqeezjohnson1457]

2 of the greatest..

[@methodboy57]

So Smooth hakeem, so great! U'r game is like a poesia !

[@matthieusaade3616]

Damn the big guy IS SMOOTH

[@StravinskyCruz]

damn kobe learns quick!

[@JeXeuZ]

WOW!!! The Dream has so many moves it's ridiculous. Big men in the NBA today need to be at this camp every off-season. The coaches and management should make it mandatory for them.

[@roxes1000]

Hakeem Is a genius , his basketball IQ is out of this world , You can tell Kobe is Post moves got hell of allot better after 09 , Unlike Dwight who even after being taught by the dream can't use a single move but realize on his damn dunks.

[@SouthSdneyBoyy]

Haha my go to move playing pick up. Once you hit someone with that spin, it makes it so much easier to get to the middle for your hook. The Dream truly is the post-up master, for every move he has a counter. His size, agility, footwork and touch was (by the looks of this video still is) too much to handle.

[@klysweroliva8503]

Kobe tenia demasiado talento para esto, aprendía muy rápido, comparado con otros que he visto aprendiendo de O´Hankeen.

[@albertboomer9872]

If the camera could move a little bit to the left this video would be perfect

[@GorkaArzallus7]

Because he's the only one with enough talent to use them INGAME

[@LionsGod90]

kobe is really the only one that uses these post moves the majority of time

[@TheLifeOfRoss]

I can't believe kobe is actually dead. That is crazy man

[@rollbots51]

Kobe is the best player in the NBA so far and he will always be the best

[@jacksonchen3308]

hakeem doing sg moves in the paint

[@waqasanwar8931]

Hakeem is the goat!!

[@AQGOAT24]

That soccer background helps.

[@TyTalkSports]

this tells champions are not born but made

[@andredadula1422]

Nice

[@leoxlibrndz629]

best center player of NBA history

[@dmanatan]

Both of these dudes played soccer. You can tell

[@SmokeOne89]

Hakeem is and was the best post player ever. Kevin McHale second. Their post moves are second to none.

[@Christopher._M]

If you watch the players learning under Hakeem or any one else you will see that most players want to replicate it with speed. Because of that not only do they have sloppy technique. They also change of the technique in order to move faster. But kobe takes the time to replicate it slowly. Which shows he just doesn't want to look good. He wants to learn the move correctly I hope people understand that slower is faster sometimes.

[@pannacotta533]

from Japan Hachimura should learn this move from Hakeem at once

[@cookiescandies7937]

How they get to this training camp

[@eazy-lit4774]

Rip kobe 😭

[@Avudulu]

RIP KOBE...

[@SlMBA.]

this video is from 2009...

[@jorgedavidloormedina5286]

Grandioso

[@msg3415]

RIP Mamba

[@kisswriters]

You're kidding (I hope) ... Kobe's got great hands, save for that turnover in game 2 of 2012 semis vs. OKC, I don't recall him dropping many passes or mishandling the rock too often throughout his career; and Hakeem had awesome hands, too ... again, I think soccer laid the foundation for their footwork ... don't believe me, Google "A night of candor with Craig Hodges" ... peace

[@markreyes2354]

No wonder why Kobe has a great footwork...

[@princesorlo6366]

r.i.p.

[@kisswriters]

Soccer sets the foundation for b-ball fundamentals ... playing soccer, you have to be able to dribble and shoot the ball with your left and right foot ... that carries over to basketball

[@cheshstyles]

Lol

[@OtokaiUchiha]

Hakeem still look like he could go 25 and 15 and Kobe just the G.O.A.T

[@MMDabeast24]

Some bigs do look good doing it. Depends who it is. Just need good footwork but Kobe is the best thats why nobody can stop him.

[@kisswriters]

I'm thinking the same thing, and I say "no, he couldn't defend his own moves"

[@rogerlo4954]

看了他那麼多學生 , 雖然Kobe本就是技術最全面 最好的一個 , 態度似乎也是最認真學的一個

[@ehduhweredoh]

I feel like Kobe had these moves before. But going to Hakeem gave him more refined practice and understanding of how and WHEN to use them. Another thing is other players won't integrate them into their game. They'll try to make it their own. Do it their own way. I think it's due to their lack of discipline to hone the fundamentals.

[@denisbute6205]

He did the same for Lebron, it seems that Hakeem like helping the ones with great potential

[@AQGOAT24]

Why do you hate them?

[@Thejoecross]

is easy for kobe to adapt with hakeem footwork because they both played football growing up

[@MikeViLLaZ]

so it's like a pivot and drive?

[@AuditoryStorytelling]

+mike villa It's the most effective post baseline spin possible.

[@sergiogarcia5593]

Kobe is the best PURE Basketball player in the game.

[@kisswriters]

Though you sent me an IM, I'm gonna respond in public ... "ball" sports start w/good balance, which is predicated on good footwork (did you take 10 min. to read the Craig Hodges article?) ... think of the great shooters past and present ... most of them weren't great "athletes" but they had one thing in common, balance ... the BEEF acronym (balance, elbow, eye, follow-through) begins with "balance" for a reason ... you may not like Kobe, but he's been blessed with great balance ... peace

[@AQGOAT24]

Nah, he always had that fade for years.

[@FGG4Lyfe]

C'mon dude no disrespect you're kind of riding Kobe by saying everyone copying him to be honest people have been going to Hakeem for a while but no one films it. I realize this is from 2009 but people have been going to him before this.

[@JMS1089]

I wonder if he also teaches how to defend against his moves, or that remains a trade secret.

[@uaoyes]

excuse me? Dwight Howard mento offer is Yes? No?
