Hubie Brown 20 Juni 2005.

Vraag: Indien je één shot hebt om te winnen, naar wie ga je?

HB: Jerry West and Michael Jordan are in the mix. But if we're talking about the last shot, Kareem's the one. I was an assistant when he hit that hook i Game 6 in Boston in 1974.

 

Vraag: Over Henry Finkel?

HB: Yeah. Just think about the distance of that shot! It was damn near a three in today's game, and he hits a hook with the clock going.

 

Vraag: Waarom is er niemand meer die probeert om dit shot te beheersen?

HB: It come down to work. In Milwaukee, Kareem would practice the hook with the rebound ring in the basket. I said to him one day, why do you do this? He said, when I take the rebound ring out, I feel like I'm shooting the ball into the Atlantic Ocean.
