Back at the University of Texas, LaMARCUS ALDRIDGE'S signature shot was his jump hook. But his coach, Rick Barnes, told the 6-foot-11 power forward that he'd need a countermove in the NBA, so they began watching film of Tim Duncan and Rasheed Wallace for inspiration. "Tim and Sheed both fade, so we took a bit of both guys for my fadeaway," says Aldridge, now 29. "Guys can't block it because I get it so high." The proof? Since the start of the 2010-11 season, the Blazers' three-time All-Star has led the NBA in made fadeaways. Here's how Aldridge unleashes the shot.

There is a nice graphic explaining the shot

I remember reading somewhere that once he decided to work on that move, he developed and strengthened the muscles by shooting tons of shots with a medicine ball, anyone else remember that? Or was I hallucinating?
