Thanks David! I was so excited to see a vintage Skyhook from Alcindor's high school days which completely busted the notion that he only developed the shot at UCLA. I'm hoping that Kareem, who has a big following here on Substack, might see the article and help shed more light on how he developed his signature move. As an innovation professor in my day job, I'm always fascinated by how people develop new products, services, programs and processes.

Wow, what a wonderful video. Can’t imagine the work it took to find that I loved the article Lenny. Your words are so beautiful.

Thanks so much. This was an easy article to write. I've been enamored with Kareem's skyhook since I first saw it in the 1970s. And I've always wondered why no other center tried to emulate it.
