#4 Dirk Nowitzki's One-Legged Fadeaway
Trending
It's hard to guard a 7-footer who can shoot from anywhere and it gets much harder when that guy can hit the fadeaway from anywhere. Dirk's one-legged fadeaway is one of the most iconic shots in the modern NBA.

Dirk was never the most athletic guy and hence, needed to find a way to get separation from his defender and he says that is why he developed that shot. Being over 7-feet tall and then leaning back, gave him enough separation from his defender and he was able to get the shot off easily.
He really started to use it on a consistent basis as he got older and a lot of people started taking notice of the shot in his magical 2011 Playoff run. It really didn't matter who was trying to guard him or how many, Dirk kept hitting it and burned the LeBron led Heat in the Finals. James has called it the 2nd most unstoppable shot in NBA history and it is kinda hard to argue.
