    Lebrons game is nice but his doesn't have the touch to master the sky hook. Did his game become any more fluid after training with Dream? No.

    Yeah, people don't appreciate the touch Kareem had to shoot that ball with a release from behind him like he did, from that distance. Most hooks since have release points above the head.

    It's seems a stupid idea, because it would negate his strengths that Kareem didn't have (speed, dribbling, strength and leaping ability).

    And it wouldn't be unblockable, because it's a slow-release shot and he's not 2-4 inches taller than nearly everyone who guards him, like Kareem was....and Magic was.
