Yeah the kids are going too fast. They should slow the movement down slightly because you have more control that way and it allows you to read the defense better.

[@FLiTVnetwork]

Hakeem taught me these moves in The Summit in Houston in 1988. As a result I won the Bronze (3rd place) Texas State Championship in 1991, and the Gold (1st Place) Texas State Championship in 1992. I was chosen and played in the McDonalds All Star and Optimist Coaches Association All Star game. I was also chosen 1st Team All Tournament and 1st Team All State. I then watched him win back to back World Championships in 1994 and 1995. The moral of the story is, there are Trophies ALL OVER THE PLACE because of #34 Hakeem the Dream Olajuwon. That's what makes him the Greatest Center of All Time.

You caught that too. On one of the jump hook moves he shows him the lil shoulder nudge. Those small moments of impact and physicality is all you need to get your shot off. The whole roll the defender off your shoulder or hip to create space concept. MJ and Kobe used similar bumps on their turnarounds and fadeaways, Dirk too. Even the pioneer of the modern stepback jumper, Paul Pierce was adept and using his ‘heft’ to create space.
