Tim Duncan currently tutors NBA ALLstar Centres as in Roy Hibbert for FREE. THat's how good he is that he is still so much better that he doesn't need to charge fees. Duncan is in the top 5 low post moves in NBA History let alone currently in the NBA.
From his Orlando days until his first year with Miami, Shaq arguably had the most explosiveness in the paint because of his strength and quickness. People think that he just elbowed and used his size, but he's mastered great footwork with a drop step and the jump hook, which resulted in "The Black Tornado" as his signature move.
Duncan has such godly touch around the basket. Not many people don't realize how difficult it is to back an opposing 7-footer down in the post. Duncan makes it look as easy as breathing.
I love that KG picked Duncan. Back in the early 2000's they were the best PF in the league, they were unstoppable, and they used to go at it at the Western Conf. That's respect from KG to Timmy.
Can we recognize the fact that al Jefferson is a great post player? He has the moves and, in my opinion, is the most similar player to Hakeem today move-wise
Talib Rizvi Kareem is hall of famer one of the legends, no doubt. Especially his sky hook which couldn't be blocked by anyone (only if he miss) with him being 7 2' and long his wing span but i find Duncan to be more agile fo rhis size. Yes he is not 7 ft but his agiliy makes it up for it. Also he is also an intelligent PFs.
Tim Duncan is just so solid with the basics and know all the tricks without ever needing to do anything fancy. Basically, he is the guy to watch if u seriously want to learn the game.
Agreed with Zach Randolph. People still don't realize his post moves are amazing, probably not the best to watch but he knows how to use his body and get some nice inside shots off. very underrated, but very talented.
his footwork in general is beast, whether its in the post or perimeter. He uses jab steps a lot cause if a player bites he gets a good look, and it's so easy to do.
When he was younger Tim Duncan was pretty unstoppable in the post. Back in the day: 1. Olajuwon for his Dream Shakes, Footwork, Fakes and Lateral Movement around the Basket. 2. Shaq for his physical dominance
Nice to see some Luis Scola love here, deffinately underrated though he may be a bit undersized and sluggish at times, he's still very consistent and will make probably 80-90 percent of midrange shots, probably 95 if wide open.
Tim does things that no other player hs figured. He uses left hand when he post left to avoid players strong hand. When he goes for fake pump and the defender stays down he shoots under the defenders arm for and1. When he is being defended front he spins around and points up to catch the ball for easy bucket and if there's a defender he fakes pump to get them off their feet. He's super super smart if u have watched him schooled young guys even in 40
Definitely Kevin Mchale. They didn’t call it the “torture chamber” for nothing. Watch his highlights. I grew up watching him play and he was amazing and unstoppable.
Did you watch Hibbert in the Miami series at all? He has a large repertoire of post moves that's been growing ever since he was drafted. He's got footwork, patience, and a great jump hook with either hand. In a few years, he's going to have one of, if not the most complete post game in the league.
Yeah the reason is they are talking current (at that time) NBA. Hakeem is the greatest in the post. There's a reason these legends are taking lessons from him
5 Michael Jordan? Moron. You can't only have one post move and be in the top 5 for best moves of all time. That's all you kids can say. Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan. LEARN SOME MORE NAMES. Try Charles Barkley. Hell, Steve Smith was a guard and he was more versatile in the post than Jordan. But you don't know his name because he's not an over-marketed over-embellished fabrication.
I'm with johmedis, I think MJ's name is too eagerly spouted on every top ten or five in basketball, when in actuality he probably doesn't deserve all of his accolades. Good list other than that though - totally with you on Keem being number one. His crazy footwork and routine domination of centers who way outsized him, being only 6'9 - 6'10, is indisputable.
johmedis You are the moron here. If you paid attention to MJ during his latter 8 years you would see an assortment of up and under moves, head fakes, dream shakes, running jump hooks, face up pivots, and an unstoppable post fadeaway that he could hit over either shoulder. Barkley, as great as he was, got more points through brute strength backdowns (like Shaq), hustle put backs, and sealing out his defender effectively to where he didn't have to do anything once he got the ball but finish (which he did well). There is a reason why Jordan's name keeps getting mentioned.
nice to see luis scola get some recognition here. may not be the fastest, the best leaper and almost never dunks but his footwork and headfakes are just out of this world!
THATS WHAT THE HELL IM TALKING ABOUT, I'm listening to all these players name everyone else except for Timmy, then my favorite player Garnett (had to be him) comes on and actually finally says "Timmy" lmao
man this is kinda uncanny of me to say, but I think I'd give it to Jahlil Okafor. in my life of watching basketball, i've never seen post moves so clean, and crisp, and he's truly making a living off of it no one at the moment can stop him he is just ridiculous.
Yo did you just say Kobe Bryant? Yo out of all the big dudes you just saw then you mentioned a retired Hall of famer,you think Kobe who plays 90% on the perimeter should be thought of as having the best post moves,really?
working the post aren't kg's or amare's game they more face up and drive shoot fade away type of guy's they are not traditional back to your basket players like timy they have both stated that in interviews that it isn't their game.
kg does not play with his back to the basket. go check the stats and see how much of his points come from the post compared to timmy you are a fuck wit just fuckoff
he has the best defence and unstoppable when under the basket. You could argue that few were better than him last season due to injury but before he was the most dominant big man in the game.
Not that he's unstoppable, but Nene had some NICE moves when he was with Denver. Now I rarely get to watch him play in DC. Learned a lot about playing with your back to the hoop watching him post up, too bad he got sidelined for so long with his foot issues.
Timmy D has, along with Hakeem, the most accomplished post game in history, however you don't see him dominate like he used to, he's getting old, and many of the younger fans simply didn't see how he carried the Spurs, and just how good he used to be, so if you are one of the younger fans, you just got to trust me on this; He was REALLY good, probably the best of his generation. An interesting stat for the whores: The only two NBA players with more than 500 games and a higher career win percentage is Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, and let's face it, that's because they weren't the ones carrying the games back when Groundhog Day had to do it all by himself. (For sake of argument, here are the percentages.. Kobe: .658 Shaq: .665 Timmy: .694 Parker: .695 Manu: .702 Numbers are from 2011, but it's not like the Spurs haven't kept winning.)
Joshua Han The title of the video is who has the best post moves in the NBA and besides they might not be as good as Duncan and all of these guys in the low post but they're definitely right there.
He had a couple of post moves & was quick for his size/weight. BUT Shaq was mainly a power player & used his weight/size to dominate his opponents. So he didnt really need to use any moves&just use his shear power/weight/size on guys..lol.
Wilt legitimately did not have any good post moves, save for the little dipping lay in, but the only reason he was able to do that in the first place is because even with a low point of release we was like a foot taller than most players at the time, so he got the ball in right over them. His hook shot was also decent, but nowhere as good as Kareem's or Duncan's. Wilt based most of his scoring off athleticism, size, and the fact that competition back then was extremely weak as compared to now. Post defense was horrendous back then, the only guy who could defend well in the post was Bill Russel at the time
KG can play back to basket but he's a face up player. D-Wade, I agree with, and Melo is still developing his post game but in my opinion if he Melo posts up more and develops that part of his game he could have some good shit ahead of him
Jefferson, Randolph, Gasol, Duncan, Love, Aldridge, Noah. Andre Miller, Kobe and Wade have the best post moves out of the guard positions right now. Andrew Bynum rarely manages to play anymore but when he does play he still has some of the most refined post moves in the game. Not very many good post players anymore. A lot of big men are called "defensive centers" for a reason.
Love? He doesn't know how to post up at all. He's Dirk type of a player. Noah?? haha you must have based this on 2k that you play on pro. Noah doesn't have any post moves
inside moves, meaning low post game, plus Kobe doesn't really have many post moves, he doesn't need them, he just backs opponents down and hits turnaround fade-aways or shimmy shots
In my humble opinion Charles Barkley is my favorite on the low post for a guy his size and he overpowers or match the power of bigger guys than him like Shaq, Ewing, Olajuwon, Rodman, Mutombo, Malone, Mourning, Shawn Kemp and Larry Johnson is impressive he even did a killer post move on Charles Oakley one time then dunk just sad he couldnt win a ring
Dirk isn't in there because they were asking who's the best inside scoring. I agree that Tim Duncan is currently the best inside post scoring player. I love watching great post moves
Andrew Bynum,I'd take Jermaine O'neal or even Rasheed Wallace in their older days before him. Then, KG is one of the best post players we've seen in the league.
LOL! Although KG can do the occassional low-post moves, he is mostly a jump-shooter. he fades away 90% of the time if he gets the ball at the low post.
