The origin of the nickname of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar "Sky Hook" turned out to be because the league banned him from dunking, the first man in history

We’re not selling off here. The person I’m going to talk about today is Jabbar, who is known as a heavenly hook. Back then, the league introduced a ban on slam dunk in order to restrict Jabbar. Now it sounds really absurd. what on earth is this kind of happenings?

Jabbar was already 1.7 meters tall when he was 10 years old. After his family noticed this, he began to train his basketball skills. By the time he was in high school, Jabbar had become a basketball monster, creating a 71-game winning streak. For the record, he won three games at the Catholic School in New York City. In high school, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar only lost 6 games.

By the time he was in college, Kareem was still unmatched. In the first year, he could not represent the school team because of the rules of the league. In the following years, Kareem won the NCAA championship for three consecutive years. He only lost his entire college career. After 2 games, what a terrifying dominance.

At that time, in order to restrict Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the NCAA league specifically introduced rules that prohibit dunks. In their view, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who cannot dunk, may not be so scary. However, what I never expected is that this rule has actually achieved Jabbar’s reputation in history, because his most powerful offensive method, "Sky Hook", began to mature during this period, even in the NBA. Jabbar's sky hook is still unsolvable.

After graduating from college, he participated in the NBA draft. In the NBA, he has already heard about the strange incident of NCAA changing the rules for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He has also become the number one for granted and officially set foot in the NBA.
