Kareem was a better post player than Hakeem. Hakeem just had way more moves and Kareem dominated with one move
And Wilt was a better post player than both of them. His fadeaway was just as if not more dominant than Kareem’s skyhook. It’s easily the most underrated & under-appreciated signature move in the history of basketball. Guy scored 100pts in a game with 80% of them coming from post fadeaways
Don't think that's possible when something like 28 points came from free throws
You’re right, based on all available footage of his career only 70% of his shots were fadeaways, not 80%. I apologize for slightly exaggerated that one game in particular. The main point still stands though that his fadeaway was the most unguardable move in nba history, not kareems skyhook
You are making this up.
People have gone back and tracked Wilt's fadeaway from available film, he made like 40% of them.
