The skyhook is a signature move invented and made famous by Kareem Abdul Jabbar. It involves the shooter extending their arm and releasing the ball in a sweeping motion, aiming to shoot the ball over their defender's reach. The skyhook is known for being nearly impossible to block and was a major factor in Abdul Jabbar becoming the NBA's all-time leading scorer.

In terms of seed position, the 1995 Houston Rockets finished the regular season seeded sixth in the Western Conference (47-35 W-L record). They are the lowest seeded team to win an NBA championship.

Note: They were considered by many experts as the worst "regular season team" to win an NBA title, but they did manage to win back to back titles as the Chicago Bulls' Michael Jordan took a break from basketball to purse a minor league baseball career.

The recently added Mikki Moore, formerly of the Sacramento Kings, is the tallest Celtic, standing at 7 feet tall.

I don't know 'how many' NBA players were born in 1963. But one thing I know is that 1963 was the year that produced a huge number of legendary NBA players. Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Charles Oakley, Chris Mullin, Joe Dumars, Terry Porter, Jeff Hornacek, Detlef Schrempf... to name a few.

The two tallest players in the history of the NBA were Gheorghe Muresan and Manute Bol. They were both listed at 7'7 (feet).
