    Huh? Dirks awkward move is in no way beautiful. Theyre herky jerky. As opposed to how smooth Hakeem's moves were.

    How come we did we not mention the crossover?

    As a kid, I was a big admirer of Allen Iverson's evolution of the crossover - probably the nastiest move besides the Dream Shake. It had everything: lighting fast speed, deception, and a killer step than broke ankles. Even left MJ baffled for a moment back in the day.

    As a guard I love the Eurostep and the evolution of the crossover. Also the MJ, Kobe turn-around jumper is also amazing. Then again, being a Rockets fan how can I not love the Dream Shake?

    My favorite moves will always be crafty post moves -- not necessarily the Dreamshake, which was a fade away jump shot -- but the head fake, close quarters change of directions that Dream and McHale were the masters of. That's why I liked Scola so much and why I have such hopes for Donatus.

    Another great move that should be mentioned though was Alonzo Mourning's old jump stop hook in the lane. I can't find a vid or gif of it, but that was a great power move that everyone had a hard time defending.

    Tim Hardaway's 2 step was the first move I learned as a kid.

    Lost art.

    Like him or not, Kareem had an amazing skyhook. Almost unstoppable. A beautiful piece of basketball history.
