You have to try and make him work on every catch and go from there,” Heat forward LeBron James said. Nowitzki has been creating an impressive highlights reel thus far in the playoffs with his variety of moves, and is averaging 28.4 points per game and shooting .517 percent from the field. “He is throwing everything at guys. He is doing every move in the book,” Heat forward Chris Bosh said. “We are all going to have to take up the challenge and try and guard him.”</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><em>Nowitzki’s now famous fading jumper on one leg that helped the Mavs beat the Thunder impressed the Heat. “That is something new. He has always made some awkward shots for a big guy, but that one-legged shot that is pretty much unguardable,” said Heat forward Udonis Haslem, who had success guarding Nowitzki in 2006 when the Heat beat the Mavericks to win the title. “Probably the most unstoppable shot ever is the sky hook. I guess you put Dirk second,” James said. “You have a seven-footer fading away off one leg. There is no one that can block that shot.”</em></p> </blockquote> <p>The Miami Heat are going to throw a number of looks at Dirk Nowitzki in the title round, with Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem expected to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509020305/http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AtDX6XwK7zBD3C5bi11uAhW8vLYF?slug=mc-spears_heat_defend_dirk_nowitzki_052911" target="_blank">bear the brunt of the responsibility</a> starting tomorrow night.</p> <p>Despite limited exposure in the past, LeBron James will also likely get opportunities to slow the big German forward during the series. He’ll receive an up-close and personal look at Dirk’s shot that he admires so much.</p> <div id="tools"> <ul> <li class="comment"><a href="#comment">Add a Comment</a></li> <li class="email">  <script type="text/javascript">var staf_confirmtext = 'Mail sent'</script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509020305js_/http://www.slamonline.com/online/wp-content/plugins/sendtoafriend/js.php"></script> <style type="text/css"> #stafBlock { position: absolute !important;

Kareem’s Sky Hook: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509020305/http://youtu.be/mlB8X101kME" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/mlB8X101kME</a></p> <p>Why centers don’t learn this nowadays offends my basketball senses. I mean, you’re using your body and offshoulder (and elbow too) to keep the defender off. Then, you’re jumping. And your whole shooting arm is extended way over the defender. When you get it down, no way that shot is not getting off. There’s a reason why Kareem holds the most total points scored in an NBA career. This is why.</p> <p>2. The Dream Shake: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509020305/http://youtu.be/29WpgU0pqN8" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/29WpgU0pqN8</a></p> <p>Why fake out a defender once when you can fake him out 4-6 times? The sheer variety of moves one can make out of the Dream Shake–you never know what’s going to hit you. This move made David Robinson look like Todd McCulloch. Yes, I put Robinson and McCulloch in the same sentence.</p> <p>3. MJ’s fadeaway: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509020305/http://youtu.be/V0Uw5B--arA" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/V0Uw5B–arA</a></p> <p>To be fair, anything done by the greatest player of all time is bound to be recorded as one of the greatest anything done by any player. That said, MJ’s fadeaway set the standard by which all fadeaways are judged by. Fake defender out by jukes, then jump away, then while in the air, square the shoulders, and shoot it softly–MJ makes an ultimately UN-fundamental jump shot look so natural.</p> <p>4. Any low-post dunk or move by Shaq in his prime: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509020305/http://youtu.be/sUE_0LRxtpU" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/sUE_0LRxtpU</a></p> <p>There was a time when the 5 scariest basketball words you can utter was: “Shaq in the low post.” Really, once he received that pass inside, it’s all over.</p> <p>5. Dirk’s Fadeaway: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140509020305/http://youtu.be/HfewOvwxMR0" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/HfewOvwxMR0</a></p> <p>Possibly the closest thing to a sure make we have in the present NBA. Reason why it’s in my top 5: the move looks so unnatural and unbalanced that it shouldn’t work, but it works anyway. Why it does: Nowitzki’s deft touch + step back + 7’0″ height + slight fade jump + German magic bestowed by Odin and Thor.</p> </div> </div> </li> </li> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="dsq-comment-1609073"> <div id="dsq-comment-header-1609073" class="dsq-comment-header"> <cite id="dsq-cite-1609073"> http://Slamonline.com <span id="dsq-author-user-1609073">Caboose</span> </cite> </div> <div id="dsq-comment-body-1609073" class="dsq-comment-body"> <div id="dsq-comment-message-1609073" class="dsq-comment-message"><p>1.

A bonus would probably be how often they are fouled in the act of shooting with that move, but Shaq would dominate that bonus. Another element to look at is if fouled, how likely are they able to complete the score. Which Shaq gets docked again since he FT% is terrible. I do think if you can foul someone to stop him from scoring and he can’t complete from the FT line, then that is stopping him. Look at late game situations when they have to take shaq out. I do lack the stats that back up my arguments and no time to do the math but oh well. </p> <p>1. Kareem’s Skyhook – Times he got blocked I don’t think I think it’s single digits. I heard it in an interview before. Career FG% – 55.9% FT% – 72.1%</p> <p>2. MJ – I’m not sure which move to pin him down on cuz he’s just so skilled. It’s not just about the fadeaway for him. Career FG% – 49.7% FT% – 83.5%</p> <p>3. Shaquille Inside Scoring – There’s a reason why there is something called hackashaq. He scores at a rate higher than his FT% if you don’t foul him. Career FG% – 58.2% FT% – 52.7%</p> <p>I would think TD’s bank shot would fit in there somewhere, Wilt’s giantness, Lebron… he takes too many jump shots and his FG and FT%’s are too low to be elite but still he is great, and Hakeem’s post moves too. I don’t know who else I missed but those stats guys with the expertise can easily dig this up with the right tools for more recent players. This seems to be one thing that you can effectively measure with stats.</p> </div> </div> </li> </li> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="dsq-comment-1609199"> <div id="dsq-comment-header-1609199" class="dsq-comment-header"> <cite id="dsq-cite-1609199"> <span id="dsq-author-user-1609199">Heals</span> </cite> </div> <div id="dsq-comment-body-1609199" class="dsq-comment-body"> <div id="dsq-comment-message-1609199" class="dsq-comment-message"><p>@Pogimax and everyone dropping lists, props this is a good discussion.

I agree with whoever it was above that said FT% has to play a role as well. Shaq’s moves in the paint were unstoppable, except for the fact that he didn’t get to use them much at the end of close games because he’d get shut down by the FT line. The Dream Shake was fantastic, and could lead to any number of shots. Dream was also a good FT shooter. Kareem’s skyhook was so smooth. I only caught the last couple seasons of his career, and I remember him moving so slowly compared to the younger guys. But when he got downcourt, and caught the ball on the block, if a hard double didn’t come, it was over. Dirk is entering that stratosphere this season. When he gets the ball in his spots, if a hard double doesn’t come, it’s over. He’s one of the best FT shooters ever, so fouling him only helps him. If only he could jump more than a few inches, he’d have the tools to be the greatest ever, regardless of position or era.</p> </div> </div> </li> </li> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="dsq-comment-1609257"> <div id="dsq-comment-header-1609257" class="dsq-comment-header"> <cite id="dsq-cite-1609257"> <span id="dsq-author-user-1609257">Dagger</span> </cite> </div> <div id="dsq-comment-body-1609257" class="dsq-comment-body"> <div id="dsq-comment-message-1609257" class="dsq-comment-message"><p>I’m sorry, I watched Mike in his prime and I have to say that Dirk’s shot fadeaway is unguardable.

Dirk has the most difficult fade away off either leg that has him almost horizontal creating a 7 or 8 inch space between him and his defender. He makes it like it’s a layup. Also, he still tricks defenders into ticky tack fouls after he’s shot it and the shot is money. And now he can just totally fake a pumpfake to get a foul or pump fake, and do a reverse dunk. This is why his go-to shot is the best unless you want to say Kareem’s skyhook was a better one(that’s the only one that’s so difficult go guard.) People talking about Ray Allen don’t realize that he has 3 or 4 illegal screens to get him his open 3, and Reggie Miller was far more deadly. He’d use one screen, stop suddenly and get 3 free throws if the defender messed up, and other times he’d bump off his defender knowing they won’t make the call against him with 2 seconds left against guys like Jordan in playoff games.</p> </div> </div> </li> </li> <li class="comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="dsq-comment-1688923"> <div id="dsq-comment-header-1688923" class="dsq-comment-header"> <cite id="dsq-cite-1688923"> <span id="dsq-author-user-1688923">vin terranova</span> </cite> </div> <div id="dsq-comment-body-1688923" class="dsq-comment-body"> <div id="dsq-comment-message-1688923" class="dsq-comment-message"><p>Guys r yng…..skry hook, and larry’s step back.</p> </div> </div> </li> </li> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="dsq-comment-1703272"> <div id="dsq-comment-header-1703272" class="dsq-comment-header"> <cite id="dsq-cite-1703272"> <span id="dsq-author-user-1703272">Rob Burns</span> </cite> </div> <div id="dsq-comment-body-1703272" class="dsq-comment-body"> <div id="dsq-comment-message-1703272" class="dsq-comment-message"><p>Um, Jordan’s fade away.
