With all due respect to Kareem, the GOAT, that was the most important hook shot of the Lakers glorious history.
The (trick ass) celtics never recovered from the real real junior skyhook. 37 years and only 1 fluke championship.
As someone who watched that live, I will never forget that baby hook. Fuck the Celtics.
This is still my favorite moment in Laker history… 12 y/o me was going nuuuuuts
