the full speed running floater was the toughest to hit for me. i was more likely to bank it in because i always had too much on it

Floater. You gotta have good body control and just the right amount of touch.

Out of those the Hookshot is the toughest

Pull up Jumper and Catch and shoot easiest by far imo. (if you can shoot)

Off hand lay up shouldn't even be an option...if you can't make a lay-up with your off-hand :wow:

not sure why the catch and shoot and the pull up are listed. if thats the toughest part of your game, then you have zero offensive game

Some people don't have enough speed on the catch and shoot when the defender's closing out on em..

Pull up jumper:manny: I was trying to fill up the poll

The fadeaway itself is probably the hardest and worst shot you can possibly take.

The hookshot doesn't necessarily have to be the skyhook. The jumphook is pretty popular these days.

The skyhook is probably the hardest shot but its not in the poll.

it's prob listed because on fast breaks some players "want" to shoot a pull up, but end up shooting a floater-lite shot

and the catch and shoot is pretty tough too...that's a part of that mid range game/ability to move without the ball that's gone extinct
