[oOcrazy95Oo]

wow

back in the day of white players

[TweetTech]

Did you know he's a Muslim :) and i am muslim too :)

[laiyuhao123]

milwaukee trade dirk and jabbar , oh my....

[jongib369]

I would really love to see prime chamberlain go against a prime kareem....It would be beautiful to watch

[JmsPeralta]

Go on my Channel and watch my Top 10 Centers of all-time.

I put this guy as number 4 tell me what you think about it.

[TheWarlord1998]

Man he really loves doing hook shots..... Heck i bet he can even make a hook shot from 3-point range

[23rafaxd]

31.422 points?

Thumbs up if you think that you saw it again to check

[thefroh1]

For the record, Kareem demanded a trade from Milwaukee. They didn't want to let him go, but they had to.

[naveedhassan45]

WOW

[kumalx1]

0:41 One of the most beautiful moves in the basketball history, pure art. thanks Mr Kareem.

[MarshallATV]

What's up with the glasses? Great player!

[edisonmorais]

@MarshallATV He got hit in the eyes many times by the oponents, because he was too tall, he decided to wear special glasses to protect the eyes.

[NBaBall3r26]

Kareem of the crop!

[R2pyro]

im 14 and i faced this sophmore on the school's varcity basketball team i did kareem's sky hook on him... he won 10-3. close enough

[roxybuddychanel]

makes one realize how painfully unskilled dwight howard is

[Teddszul]

The Greatest center ever !

[stidza98]

Dzheck se cirka,i buksna se vari,junky fo` life,koka in a kari.Prti Bee Gee crew player-i to su stari,pucaju k`o Kareem Abdul Jabari!

[noorfm]

The Greatest basketball player

[MrBlahMomma]

he would have gotten an even better ft percentage if he shot a hookshot for his form

[danielceltics20]

came here after watching Bruce lee vs. Kareem! loolz

[handymoon123]

1:50 first 3point?

[JeremyTheGreat11]

Greatest NBA player ever IMO

[wehatepaul95]

He fucked my grandma -.-

[TenYew605]

Sky hook hmm I can do it! But I use the back board slightly..

[superdonkeymafia36]

He looks like me on my 7 foot hoop

[parker1cod]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the singlemost fantastic basketball player in NBA history. He was talented like others, but even more so. To all those who must know Kareem was exactly 7 feet, 2 inches.

[PillowMcCloud]

how talll was he?

[MichaelSwg]

@PillowMcCloud 7'2''

[Hipstoprockathon]

i wonder if he can sky hook from the 3 point line LOL

[2hourcarpark]

yes, the skyhook shot he made was the final shot that put him into the leading scorer of all time. of course!

[m0h1tD33pak]

sky hook is just unreal

[m0h1tD33pak]

How the fuck does he do it(the sky hook)?

[m0h1tD33pak]

@BlackTrojanKnight u can surely try. But not recommended. Waste of time

[gsvkck]

If you look closely, Lebron traveled.

[syeddaniyalahmed23]

@dwebb234 yeah dumbass MJ couldn play 20 years cuz he couldn remain fit for 20 years KAREEM was the epitome of Fitness in the NBA and considering he played at the CENTRE position which is one of the most physically demanding positions in the game MJ cant hold a candle to KAREEM in terms of fitness and Longevity !!!

[Archangel866]

Read Your Bible Daily.

[dannysoya]

Damn the 80s was the age of Giants. Holy shit they're soo tall.

[wazzzzaap]

you know your good when your shaqs idol

[PsyberKayos]

My god this is beautiful.

[MrAnonymous825]

What would happen if all the people who won the nba most valuable player award faced off ina 1-1 bracket

[HarryTheTalkingDude]

anyone know the name of the music? I seem to remember it from something, but i can't remember what...

[ANTIFAXGENCLIK]

Legend

[ifoo999]

so if he gets a free throw he will end with a hook shottt????

[TheOlivier99]

from poland

watch?v=KtkOZLQTNnM&feature=ch­annel_video_title

[dwebb234]

overrated



[NingrahamHD]

@dwebb234 ???? are you fucking stupid? this guy is one of the best no doubt. he has most points ever even more than Mj, kobe or lebron.

[dwebb234]

@NingrahamHD yea he is good, there is no doubt about that buuuttt he has the points record because he played 20 fucking years. he is also the leader in most games played, most minutes played, most field goal attempts, im sure if Michael Jordan or any of those other players played 20 years they would have demolished his record of scoring

[bassrockzero]

@dwebb234 that's the goddamn point dumbshit. he CAN play 20 years, and be CONSISTENT for 20 years. you can't even construct an argument for like a paragraph.

[mohmosyos]

i knew him from the simpsons

[gfscarface13]

Great NBA Player and helped my Lakers win 5 Titles.

[MegaRiver97]

i want to say he is the greatest center ever but there had been so many great centers: robinson, chamberlain and shaq. I'll just say he is my favorite center

[FreshFromDaBasement]

Greatest Player that ever had the opportunity to put on a basketball jersey

[TheDiddles25]

LeBron traveled

[fkxyysxcdv]

xbox 720 scoring

[colbjay99]

If you look closely, you cant see lebron in this video.

[meloneadrian]

[OertherKellylhv]

protomakefile protomakefile

[goldcrownbasketball]

i am watching these for a report and he is amazing all u guys have a great chance for the nba if you are good but i am a girl and i play basketball and give it all i have i want to be just like him i dont care what you guys say

[dammit9111]

@goldcrownbasketball go for it!

[Tazzarinaa]

its sad big guys dont get nearly the credit wing players and point guards do. Magic johnson got a statue of him long ago, kareem hasn't even gotten a statue infront of the lakers arena yet

[MaskedUgly1]

Greatest of all time!

[SuperLorenzi]

holy shit i cant even imagine whats doing more than 30000 points

[mylesusa]

milwaukee: hey i got a good idea guys, let's trade kareem abdul-jabbar

[FuShengAlex]

mylesusa: Jabbar was the one that requested a trade from Milwaukee. They didn't try to ditch him. He faced a lot of discrimination in Milwaukee once he converted to Islam, and there was hardly anywhere there that could meet his "cultural" needs(i.e.: mosques to pray at).

[DilPhyI]

@4coolstrike No Im sorry that your'e a no life

[DilPhyI]

@4coolstrike Hahahahahaha, I'm sorry for your fail grammar and spelling dude.

[DilPhyI]

@4coolstrike I highly doubt that. Also, I know i'm a dick, but at least I have one. Lastly, fuck you xD

[shiroiodk9]

Kareem its a beast, dunking on Chamberlain even so young 0:46

[mosnaidei]

He is so cheap in 2k12.

[kofaali]

Kareem is the G.O.A.T.  Damn a Michael Jordan

[DilPhyI]

@4coolstrike It's called the 1900's. Cao ni!

[jccchou]

@DilPhyI you mean the 70's

[DilPhyI]

@jccchou They wore short shorts throughout the 1900s like 1940 or something to 1980s

[calpert2]

The best ever.

[riad232]

no one can stop him. 

[grank762010]

[dezmania3]

Boobies

[Celticssuck1]

best center to play the game ??

[Speargate888]

How come Kareem lost his hair so quick?

[SkyDhawen]

@BBQB0Y: I think so too. :-D

[thewolfmanchu]

You can't guard against the hook shot. Not when it's that pure. Truly one of the greats.

[WheresTheToiletPaper]

18 dislikes= People that think Mc Fale didnt foul Magic Johnson on his Sky Hook

[BBQB0Y]

that hook shot is a cheat code

[michaelkohli]

@BBQB0Y Ha hA you said it all :)

[JenovaDoll]

But you cant beat Bruce Lee

[TheSylrapz]

@JenovaDoll He could beat bruce lee in Basketball

[abrahamnelson12]

@cvision17 not with the lockout in place.



[nicalolz]

KAJ's hook shot is mean..

[cvision17]

I really hate to bring this up but LeBron will probably be at the top 5 career points scored in the history of the NBA if he continues to average that many points which of course he's very capable of and to continue his stable amount of games played with 75-80 games per season.

[JeremyTheGreat11]

@cvision17 What was the point of that?

[cvision17]

Plain and simple, he played the game.

[bmihura]

That hook shot is amazing.

When I was a college ball player, and could touch my elbow on the rim, and broke the college record for blocked shots, my 51-year -old dad could do that hook shot over me and beat me one on one, every time.

Just to embarrass me, my dad would also do things like bounce the basketball between my legs and such just to show off. :)

[ispd123]

the sky hook is awesome



[MW2LilRamsicHD]

1:02 that sky hook buzzer beater was truly something else, amazing!

[meatwadphone]

sky hook = beast

[mrstar9]

he shot better than rajon rondo. duh ...

[southsidesman]

Didn't see a lot of left hand hooks.

[MrBooby22]

wht the hell happend to my top comment it had 67 likes wtf like this so i can go back to the top!!!

[osmansons]

whats the name of this song

[tampatuy]

he totaly loves to hookshot

[horaiyo]

I never understood why more people don't use the skyhook. That shot was beautiful.

[valdevilla24]

Who's the greatest? Kareem 20 years NBA career 38, 387 Points 6x NBA MVP 6x NBA Champion 2x NBA Finals MVP VS. MJ 14 years NBA career (ONLY) 32,292 points 5x NBA MVP 3x NBA All-Star MVP 6x NBA Finals MVP 6x NBA Champion 10x NBA Scoring Champion 3x NBA Steals Champion 1x NBA Defensive Player of the YEAR!

[swaguymusicpage]

Kareem is the real G.O.A.T.

No one could touch him.

Bill Russel + Wilt Chamberlain= Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

[MIKESOWELL]

@swaguymusicpage An old Wilt still guarded him well.

[swaguymusicpage]

@MIKESOWELL Yeah, but Wilt himself even said that Kareem was probably the best player in the league.

[MariosLasagna]

I got to see Kareem at Camp Henry Bibby and man was he sharp. Still able to dunk at like age 56-57... He's right behind Michael Jordan if you ask me about the GOAT players.

[XxShiftGamingxX]

I cant wait to use that muthafuckin skyhook in 2k12

[CrowCroud]

:O Manute Bol the biggest Nba player 7'7 can't block Kareem OMG!!! 1:27

[teacherryen77]

My top 5 centers: (1) Kareem, (2) Olajuwon, (3) Wilt, (4) Russell (5) Moses

[teacherryen77]

In my opinion, Olajuwon and Kareem are the two best centers of all time. Olajuwon was more talented physically and a better defender overall, but Kareem had that go-to shot, the trusty skyhook. And, Kareem had better longevity over Olajuwon; Kareem was still a very good center into his late 30s.

[JacqueShredo]

It looks so good when he comes up from the side with it

[LiLSiCk916]

I cant wait to play as kareem in nba 2k12..haha cant wait til october 4th

[mrbigga95]

The average centers height back then was 6'9... of coarse he gonna be the best. If he played against shaq he would get his shit destroyed.

[LiLSiCk916]

@mrbigga95 lol ur hella fucking stupid, shaq could barely guard Tim Duncan , Kareem would fuckn destroy shaq, that hook shot was un guardable and shaq was never a leaper...

[HymanKaplan]

@LiLSiCk916 I'm not judging who is better, but Shaq was never a leaper? He holds an all time record from predraft measurements for the highest vertical reach at 12'5'' from 1992. That record is unbraken for almost 20 years, no player has ever jumped higher since that date..not even Howard..

[gfxcrx]

Amazing



[TributeToTesla]

nice video

[nekomaxo]

taladro taladro taladro

[igorbukhantsov]

If nike saw this guy playing with these glasses, they would never sponsor him ;) hahhah

[3Jay8]

he has mad skills but he his skinny as shit...

[jscorn]

He and Wilt - the two best there ever was!

[kamagong78]

Kareem's training with Bruce Lee gave him the athleticism.

[Diocletian09]

Watching Kareem play, or even his highlights, introduces to the viewer the finesse and artistry that is more than mere competition. He brought something to the game that was beyond athletic. It was art. 

[Diocletian09]

Pahahahahaha! Dwight Howard? He's a bum, with NO competition today. Even in the 90's we had Olajuwon, Ewing, Mutumbo, Robinson, then came O'Neal and Mourning. Mourning and Shaq were dominating younger cats well into there 30's cos the talent simply hasn't been there.

[OfficialAnthonyG]

kareem has fried more people than ray allen has lol

[kimskis]

The Greatest of All Time ladies and gents...Jordan who? That chucker was lucky that 90's had no other great teams so he could form the best team and start sweeping the titles.

[XKiDCraZyX]

@kimskis Don't lie. We all know Jordan was the greatest all around player of all time. Also the most determined. No one will ever surpass Jordan. Simply put.....he's the Greatest of all time. P.S quit the trolling

[JaY19NY]

@kimskis chucker? u high.

[FuShengAlex]

mikenotnumber1...I think this comment didn't work so I'll repeat it. I like how Jabbar told those Jordan Jockers where to go in that "open letter to Pippen". I didn't see that coming because KAJ has never really been a guy that got into these "who's the best" debates. As if Jordan alone set the standard that players past and present should be viewed against. Jabbars resume takes a backseat to no one.

I was surprised he showed Wilt some love given they were fierce rivals. Good stuff.

[spanem213]

all these old nba players look like they are 7ft tall

[ZipperZappleZ]

@spanem213 centers in the old days were taller than most centers today. they averaged 6'10 barefoot, today's NBA is measured in shoes... Howard is 6'9, there's like 2 or 3 7 foot centers today - in a 30 team league

[Sicilian49]

The greatest player ever in the center position. The one after Kareem, is Hakeem Olajuwon!

[mrjtjt]

The only player ever with a shock no one else can imitate...The greatest shot in the history of the NBA.

[mrjtjt]

Yes, you only debate Michael Jordan as being the greatest ever against the likes of Kareem. Both were complete and had no weaknesses for their position. Plus, Kareem is so highly underrated and so under appreciated.

[guppyfishable]

Statistically the best NBA player of all time. You can't say he's not awesome.

[mystamuzikmann]

Greatest center ever.

[ViaggioFM]

1:02 and 1:38 are absolutely RIDICULOUS.

[FrankGarrett316]

I remember when he had a cameo on Full House, I think Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey was shooting hoops with him in the backyard.

[ssatiless]

Who's that guy with the glasses at 2:32? :D

[OfficerInfusion]

@ssatiless Kurt Rambis.

[OfficerInfusion]

And it's kinda wierd that he looks older back then than he does now. xD

[rawimpact]

@ssatiless hhopefully your not a true nba fan

[ssatiless]

@rawimpact Well, I've started watching Nba in 2000 as I was just 8 years old and I'm not an american so I actually didn't now about Nba before I saw VC in the dunk contest. And also I'm not a Lakers fan so I don't know all the players.

[aspenaspen]

The best hook shooter to ever EVER touch a basketball

[ryanr20091]

@mikenotnumber1 i think basketball will lways be a big mans game this guy had 6mvps and to me hes the best nba player of all time not jordan

[FuShengAlex]

ryanr20091.yeah the problem is it "was" a big mans game. We have Dwight now, and I think the league really tries to shackle his dominance (calling so many bogus fouls on him, and no longer permitting Centers to stay in the lane for 3 seconds, which'll hinder shotblocking). NBA wants a perimeter oriented league. It seems the "dominant Center" of yesteryear has become like dinosaurs. I have to look at old clips of KAJ, Dream, Shaq, to remind myself: "Yes the NBA did have great Centers", LOL.

[TheRedBull223]

he releases it level with the basket god dammit

[MrMultiNick1926]

kareem and magic where one of the best duos in NBA history period

[enswaggboyz]

lou cinder



[farneyblakeley]

The original "Big Fundamental"

[FuShengAlex]

Olajuwon is my favorite Center in NBA history (when I say favorite that doesn't mean I think he's the best Center ever). And it is remarkable to me how Jabbar often held his own or outplayed and sometimes destroyed the Twin Towers in the mid 80s despite being almost 40 years old. That to me the most impressive thing individually I've ever seen in NBA history.

[ginusha]

Abdul-Jabbar was well known for his trademark "sky hook", a hook shot in which he bent his entire body (rather than just the arm) like a straw in one fluid motion to raise the ball and then release it at the highest point of his arm's arching motion. Combined with his long arms and great height (7 feet 2 inches), the sky hook was nearly impossible for a defender to block without goal tending Only a few have blocked his legendary skyhook, including basketball greats Wilt Chamberlain

[ginusha]

Micheal Jordan Nothing Com pair to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to me Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the Greatest ever Basket Ball Player in NBA History

[bbjannik13]

1:12 sweet seller:DD

[superyou918]

I would have a hard time arguing any player over Kareem. Even when all the statistics are compared, there is still always the beauty of his game that puts him over the others. There's something about the sky hook that makes it the most beautiful shot in the game. The time it takes to sort of wind up and start raising the one leg and arm. Then, the long arc of his long arm, and finally the flick of a gigantic hand just when this gangly body has stretched to it's longest possible height.

[southsidesman]

@superyou918 Hard shot, still learning. That and teardrop.

[galatians4n16]

@superyou918 Pat Riley, "Why judge anymore? When a man has broken records, won championships, endured tremendous criticism and responsibility, why judge? Let's toast him as the greatest player ever."

[predator0122]

just take a look at that, basketball at its finest. no huge muscles, no overrated flashy dunks, simply pure basketball talent. that hook shoot of his is simply perfect, everything about it is perfect. the release, the hand movement, the trajectory of the ball. its a real pity there are no centers like him today.

[djwc6]

i love how the young guys today think howard is the greatest center ever,but guys like kareem and chamberlain would have destroyed him.

[ckchristian1]

@djwc6 no they wouldnt have. there too scrawny.

[ZipperZappleZ]

@djwc6 He would go home crying and not even show up for the next game. Just a phone call to work "I'm sick."

[phillyspartanfan]

@djwc6 It sort of reminds me of an IDIOTIC statement that someone made to me a couple of years ago or so. The statement was that "Larry Bird couldn't play in today's NBA." My response was that I actually agreed: Today's NBA wouldn't be enough of a challenge for Larry Bird.

[ChrisUlrich]

@djwc6 But Shaq would have throw those two around. Howard isn't even their league

[SwagCityLongboard]

@djwc6 you cant say that .. the game is so much ddifferent .. he has more skill but look at how much stronger and more athletic howard is.. yes theyre better but they wouldn't destroy him
