    For those who keep commenting about Ginobili - yes I do know he's from Argentina. But it's still called the Eurostep when he does it. It ain't called the South American step lmao

    The Most Signature Move: Tim Duncan got T-foul for laughing at bench

  • @hellbent7062
    @hellbent7062 Před 4 lety +333

    James Harden also has a signature move where he initiates contract and his victim gets called for a foul. He typically does this move when he jumps up for a 3-pointer or a jump shot. He either sticks a leg out to create contact or he tries to land on the defender. It works more for him than anyone.

      @chrisjones9019 Před 4 lety +18

    • @ddiesel8929
      @ddiesel8929 Před 3 lety +6

      Not his leg, his arm and shoulder when driving and shooting. If you really think about it, it’s lowkey genius. Moves his arm in a position where he gets contact but it doesn’t hinder his ability to actually score which is why his percentages aren’t the best. So say he misses the three, if he gets a foul call boom he still gets 2 points, Make the 3 that’s a 4 point play. The whole point of that move I think is if he misses he still gets another chance to make some points

      @hellbent7062 Před 3 lety +5

      @@ddiesel8929 You're right. It is a genius move but it's not his alone. It's a two against one strategy because it requires the referees to make bad calls in your favor to basically give you charity points at the line. If not for his ability to consistently dupe the referees into making bad calls, his free throw point totals would be cut in half. James Harden and the referees versus the other team. Very ingenious indeed.
      The sad thing is there is a rule in the referee's handbook that they can use instead of constantly deferring to the foul. Its called "incidental contact" it allows them to play but they rarely ever use it unless they are trying to control the outcome of the game instead of officiating.

      True and Pistol Pete’s highlight reels were incredible but he was surprisingly inefficient for a superstar. Lots of turnovers and misses that don’t show up on the highlights. Still, he was a great innovator during an era officials wouldn’t let ball handlers get away with much and the three point line wasn’t a thing. Born too soon, perhaps.

      I know it sucks but until the NBA acknowledge it's a cheat and stop letting players use it to get free points and using it to get other players in foul trouble...we're wasting our time complaining and screaming its a cheat move. Even flopping is a cheat. There is a penalty but the referees are blind and can't see it when Harden does it. This means it's legal if you don't get penalized for it.

    Also, Dwayne had one of the deepest fade away technique that I can remember.
    Last, most memorable from Kobe for me was his windmill 4 point play. It didn’t happen often but when he pulled it off it was fun to watch. It was basically him being guarded at the 3 point line; he fakes the shot several times by “wind milling” the ball up and down until he has the defender following his moves. He then goes up for the shot having the defender scrambling to follow Kobe’s arms. Drains the 3 and the foul is called for a possible 4 point play.

    Most of these players are more recent but there are other great players from yesteryear that had great signature moves. For example, Jerry West's pull up jumper may be the best in NBA history and he scored most of his points off his quick jumper. Also Wilt was unstoppable in his prime and scored A LOT of points off his trademark fadeaway bank shot off the left low block, a shot that was even more effective than Duncan's banker. Wilt's finger roll was also iconic as well. Rick Barry's signature was from the triple threat position where he would either shoot, pass or drive and he was great at it to the point of 35 points a game one year, a career 30 point average in the ABA, and 30 points a game when he led the Warriors to the chip in '74-75. Let's also not forget Larry Bird's dagger three to finish teams off that was truly iconic given his extreme confidence. There are so many more...
