hook shots
Curved arm scores
Hook shots are basketball throws made with a sweeping, arcing arm motion, releasing the ball overhead while the body shields it from defenders.
The shooter faces sideways to the basket, hooking the ball up and over with one hand.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's "skyhook" became the most famous and unstoppable version: He scored on a hook shot from the lane.
