Wiki and I agree...
"Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (born Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor, Jr., April 16, 1947) is a retired American professional basketball player. He is the NBA's all-time leading scorer, with 38,387 points.
best bestball player ever of all time
takeit to the bank.................................
UCLA had a wizard who believed in prayer in that game.
The play I remember was when Sidney got caught up in the emotion and threw down a slam dunk, which, of course, the NCAA had banned after Kareem's first varsity season. I'm beginning to wonder if Kareem could dominate the NBA as a coach in the same way Wooden ruled college hoop?

He's actually the 4th best Laker.
Sky hook
The hook shot became a trademark of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the National Basketball Association's all-time leading scorer, who was proficient at the shot at a much greater distance from the basket than most players. The greater distance and resulting higher arc on the shot led to the name sky hook, which was coined during Abdul-Jabbar's tenure with the Milwaukee Bucks and came from the team's radio announcer, Eddie Doucette, who felt that "that hook was so high that it was coming out of the sky".[1] Blocking the 7-foot, 2-inch center's sky hook was a rare feat, accomplished by few players.
Magic Johnson used a similar shooting technique during the 1987 NBA Finals, which he called his "baby hook" in reference to teammate Abdul-Jabbar.[2]
