Watching Derrick hit about 10 of those tonight against the Bucks.

Who was the last player that used that as a signature shot? I imagine someone from the mid-80's or something, it looks so old-fashioned, like a front-facing hook shot. I don't recall anyone else shooting it with regularity in my basketball-watching life.

Oh yeah, forgot about Ben Gordon. I think he was flailing out of control every time he threw one up.

You're probably thinking of George "the Iceman" Gervin.

Steve Nash and Tony Parker have used it very frequently for the past decade.
