NBA all-star Kareem abdul-jabbar check it out

it out

it out a rebound in basketball you have to get

a rebound in basketball you have to get

a rebound in basketball you have to get a sense of how the thing is going to

a sense of how the thing is going to

a sense of how the thing is going to bounce before the thing makes that

bounce before the thing makes that

bounce before the thing makes that bounce so that you can be in the right

bounce so that you can be in the right

bounce so that you can be in the right place at the right time what’s going

place at the right time what’s going

place at the right time what’s going through your head when you how many how

through your head when you how many how

through your head when you how many how many rebounds

many rebounds

many rebounds was it aphelion 17 17,000 rebounds the

was it aphelion 17 17,000 rebounds the

was it aphelion 17 17,000 rebounds the angle in equals the angle out so if our

angle in equals the angle out so if our

angle in equals the angle out so if our shot comes from this angle at the basket

shot comes from this angle at the basket

shot comes from this angle at the basket the probability is it’s going to take

the probability is it’s going to take

the probability is it’s going to take the same angle coming off the other side

the same angle coming off the other side

the same angle coming off the other side by the way that’s a law it’s a law of

by the way that’s a law it’s a law of

by the way that’s a law it’s a law of optics the angle of incidence equals the

optics the angle of incidence equals the

optics the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection it’s like a mirror

angle of reflection it’s like a mirror

angle of reflection it’s like a mirror so you have to understand the angle

so you have to understand the angle

so you have to understand the angle that’s going to come off and then the

that’s going to come off and then the

that’s going to come off and then the distance from the from the rim and

distance from the from the rim and

distance from the from the rim and backboard that you need to be at to have

backboard that you need to be at to have

backboard that you need to be at to have the optimum opportunity to collect the

the optimum opportunity to collect the

the optimum opportunity to collect the Reno plus 101 inch wingspan the ability

Reno plus 101 inch wingspan the ability

Reno plus 101 inch wingspan the ability to anticipate is so we can spend 10

to anticipate is so we can spend 10

to anticipate is so we can spend 10 minutes you telling me I calculate the

minutes you telling me I calculate the

minutes you telling me I calculate the angular but then really I just reach out

angular but then really I just reach out

angular but then really I just reach out and grab the ball no some people just

and grab the ball no some people just

and grab the ball no some people just stand there

stand there

stand there you got a move but so you were

you got a move but so you were

you got a move but so you were particularly potent because you

particularly potent because you

particularly potent because you basically combined your 100 100 inch

basically combined your 100 100 inch

basically combined your 100 100 inch wingspan with the knowledge of angle of

wingspan with the knowledge of angle of

wingspan with the knowledge of angle of incidence and angle of reflection right

incidence and angle of reflection right

incidence and angle of reflection right and what we call hops

my dad I don’t know that I use that word

my dad I don’t know that I use that word hops cops is that’s your vertical

hops cops is that’s your vertical

hops cops is that’s your vertical vertical yeah basically that time vert

vertical yeah basically that time vert

vertical yeah basically that time vert vertical yeah yo bro got hops like yeah

vertical yeah yo bro got hops like yeah

vertical yeah yo bro got hops like yeah you can get up that’s when you play

you can get up that’s when you play

you can get up that’s when you play above the rim

above the rim

above the rim you got hops you know he just told me a

you got hops you know he just told me a

you got hops you know he just told me a little bit about his game oh we were in

little bit about his game oh we were in

little bit about his game oh we were in a leaper oh no no I just did where I

a leaper oh no no I just did where I

a leaper oh no no I just did where I grew up we didn’t have that word we

grew up we didn’t have that word we

grew up we didn’t have that word we didn’t use that word yeah s o’clock yes

didn’t use that word yeah s o’clock yes

didn’t use that word yeah s o’clock yes but I but I could jump all right

but I but I could jump all right

but I but I could jump all right I could I could I couldn’t UNK the ball

I could I could I couldn’t UNK the ball

I could I could I couldn’t UNK the ball in ninth grade see you head hops that’s

in ninth grade see you head hops that’s

in ninth grade see you head hops that’s all there is to it yeah so you know yeah

all there is to it yeah so you know yeah

all there is to it yeah so you know yeah I did not have hot
