Victor Wembanyama’s Unstoppable Skyhook: The Game-Changing Move Taking the NBA by Storm

2023-07-21 09:31:00

His Summer League over, Victor Wembanyama has been on vacation for a few days. But before taking a little rest and taking a step back from the media, Wemby dropped a little bombshell on us: he spent some time working on… his skyhook!

NBA defenses tremble at the announcement of this information. Already Victor Wembanyama risks causing some problems next season, if he begins to master the most unstoppable move in history… A skyhook 3 meters high, what can we do once morest that?

The skyhook, what is it exactly? It is a shot that consists of shooting in profile with the arm behind, so as to send the ball over the defender and thus avoid the counter. Also called rolled armce gesture was democratized by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the now second leading scorer of all time (38,387 career points). It is on this very special shot that KAJ has built his career and his palmares as long as the arm (rolled). But despite this, the skyhook has gradually disappeared in the NBA, much to the dismay of its master:

Coaches today don’t teach young people to work near the basket anymore, so they don’t learn the hook shot. – Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for Mertacus Center

What if Victor Wembanyama brought the skyhook up to date? We’re not there yet, but Wemby is only 19 years old and has a long NBA career ahead of him. We will obviously follow his development closely, but he risks becoming an absolute cheat code if he manages to master this shot. And if he might receive some advice from the master in the matter, to whom this declaration must have pleased, it would give very beautiful images and would probably cause harm to some defenders…
