Best signature/go-to moves?

[MotorTown354]

Only basketball moves, nothing like Jordan's tongue, LeBron's powder toss and so on.
Posted some of the best moves I could think of right now, feel free to name more. Some players got more than one. Who got the best one(s)? What's the best? In terms of dominance and style, offensively and defensively...

Allen Iverson's crossover. Best in the business. However, if I could vote for all the ones you listed, I totally would. You did a good job of listing all the greats.

So many great moves but I gotta go with the skyhook, majorly the reason that allowed Kareem to dominate over the course of two decades, and it was just beautiful to watch.

My vote goes to Dirks One-legged Fade. It's unguardable when its done correctly

Sky hook. 38,000+ points, most of which came from that one move alone.

Same goes for other moves on the list though. And by unguardable I don't mean that they're 100% money but a defender can only do so much... or so little.

Thanks. Yeah, so many amazing ones to chose from really.

How do you list Jason Williams' elbow pass when he only did it once and it being in a Rookie Showcase.

I loved Iverson's crossover. So lethal they had to practically ban it.

Nice to see somebody spotted that one. Just for kicks, a bit like Mahorn's trick(a without the ball move, even though he actually used that many times and was a resourceful defensive move and very effective when used correctly), wanted to see if it would get any votes plus it's a cool move and the only time I saw it at nba level, not even dominant by any means though.

Re: Best signature/go-to moves?

hard to say
sky hook, dream shake, finger roll, fadeaway jumper, the dipper, shaq attack, killer crossover, one-legged fadeaway, man... Russell's smart blocks, Parish rainbow was unblockable, Pierce's stepback jumper is lethal... I gotta go with McHale's post moves, he had hundreds of them, or Larry's fallaway though, unblockable and he could hit like 10 in a row when he was hot, I might be a little biased though

Re: Best signature/go-to moves?

I wish you would have included Rondo's ball-fakes.

Those seriously work 90% of the time (I use them myself).

Just vote for Pistol Pete, he started all of those... J/K, on the real, I just tried to include all the moves that came trough my head at the time but Rondo's ball-fakes could've made the list, no doubt, they're really effective, just vote for other(s).

I got the poll but it would be cool if everyone explained their vote.

Re: Best signature/go-to moves?

The most reliable shot in NBA history. The skyhook. I'm surprised that no one since Kareem has tried to copy it. I've seen lots of players do hook shots BUT if you look back at Kareem when he executed this shot watch his footwork, hips, hands and motion. He makes it unblockable.
