Sir Dotch,
cc: Metta


that shamgod word was popularly attach to him as far as I know(for now).

Never heard that one about Kyries tho. Shamgod doesnt mean he's a sham-of-a-god, but Shamgod is a crossover move that 90's college star God Shamgod made popular.

And yes, "God" is his first name, last name is "Shamgod"

There's a youtube video of it that even featured Terence Romeo.

Shamgod is not the inventor of the Shamgod move (he probably came up with the term though).

"El Latigo" Bodiroga popularized it in Europe in the early 90s (and called it Latigo) but he learned it from players way before him. Just like how the eurostep is a very old move even in the Philippines (we used to call it the side-step) and how Ginobili popularized it in the nba. Even the term eurostep is kinda dumb because they attribute it to Ginobili who is Argentinian.

Thanks for the info. While both move have employ the same hand "cross body - cross over" to throw off the defender, God's move uses a more complicated foot-work to sell that cross.
