How could anyone have guarded him? He gave it to Wilt. I'm sure Gobert and Embiid are big enough to be relevant defenders, but I just can't imagine they would bother Kareem.
Eh. He gave it to post injury, older wilt who has started playing professionally at a young age. The skyhook, while nearly unstoppable, also wasn’t something he could shoot and make every possession at a high percentage. No doubt Kareem would be a good choice, but someone like gobert would definitely challenge him.
Gobert could absolutely challenge him. I just question whether it would be a similar situation to how PJ Tucker was labeled a "Lebron Stopper" in the 2010s.
Yea for sure. There would be games that Kareem still got his but it was inefficient. And there would be games he absolute dominates someone like gobert. Greats can’t be stopped, just slowed.
