God Shammgod

Shammgod is a former NBA player who is now an assistant coach for the Dallas Mavericks. He became famous in the basketball circles for creating… yes, you guessed it the (Shammgod). In the game of basketball there are countless moves with different names and no one claiming the origin or trying to attach their name to it. But in this case the Shammgod move is named after this gentleman. A player I that admire very much.

During my line of work, I was able to drive him and spend the entire day with him. Even though there were a host of different topics I wanted to ask him about, the main and pressing question was how he developed this great move. He smiled and then said, “you are not going to believe it, but it was all an accident that I wasn’t trying to do.”

“What?”... I said in amazement.

“After I did it the first time, I had to go back and try it again. It was then that I realized that this was going to be a great basketball move.”

This basketball move is a staple at parks, gyms all around the the USA and I’m sure in many different countries.
