    I would include Kobe's fadeaway towards the baseline jumper. Hard to describe, but a beauty every I see it. He fades towards the baseline and it inline with the backboard when he shots it over the defender! :eek:

    His leg grabbing is a thing of beauty, modern sport classics.

    Kevin Willis - Hook shot
    Georghe Muresen - slow motion frame by frame hook shot
    drexler - gliding one-hand dunk
    charles barkley - butt up his defender
    t-mac - I dont' know if this is a signature move, but he has this fake driving to the right and then turn around almost 360 degrees for a fade away jumpshot.

    i'd say add timmy D's bankshots, those are money
    but on the flipside when he shoots from the outside or his freethrow its like he's always in a hurry and almost shoots from the hip

    speakin of shootin from the hip
    V.Maxwell had some nasty shots in his career that just bombed from anywhere on the court

    yall forgot the best one of all

    NOVAK'S MONEYBALL SHOT ITS ICE COLD EVERYTIME

    SN FOR PRES.

    No love for the Doctor? The palmed extension was a thing of beauty copied by many others... MJ and Clyde included.

    Tim Hardaway is the inventor of the killa crossover.


    Nobody is mentioning Barkley backing it, backing it, backing it..........all the way in for the layup.


    ...................or Jack Sikma's jump shot.


    ..................or George Gervin's fingerroll.

    Shaq's signature move is the left elbow hook around the defender's solar plexus, then going up under the defender's armpit as the defender stands there with his arms in the air, dunking the ball and getting the And 1 as the defender falls down like a sack of wheat with blood gushing from his kidneys internallyh. (I absolutely abhored that move. Offensive foul all the way. Right up there with the Karl kick out.)

    Jordan's signature move is on the Nike brand, legs spread, ball hanging out of his mit to be crammed in a millisecond, tongue hanging out.

    I was just about to mention this. George Gervin's finger-roll is so smooth, so fluid. It's a thing of beauty.

    Worthy on the block with the ball in one hand.

    'Nique's windmill dunks off two feet from the baseline.

    Tom Chambers double pump 3 point dunk (lakers vs. celtics for the sega genesis only)

    the dream shake was nice and beautiful, but my favorite from dream was the up-and-under...the move he faked robinson like three times with...

    tmacs hesitation cross is sick

    im too young to ever see kareems hook...so i cant really put that in there...

    i always loved watching reggie miller with the ball in his hands with less than 10 seconds left...

    tim hardaways cross was sick

    tmacs "HEYY!!!!" when he drives to the basket...jk i hate that crap...now rafer does it too...

    i also like tmacs fake drive and turnaround j

    drexlers finger roll

    lol barkleys post back downs
