Yup.

Y'all remember God Shammgod? Of course you don't. You're not a New York streetball aficionado from 1993. (Unless you are. In which case, shout out!)

Anyway. Shammgod did this to people:



He did this to people frequently enough that they named the move after him. Also, his first name was God.

You follow me?







Yes. Try to keep up.

Anyway, you might think that someone with stupid-doo-doo-dumb handles like that would make it in the NBA (also known as The Association) without much trouble, right?






Um.... yeah. As foshow38 tries really hard to point out, Shammgod missed the layup after the nastiness incarnate that was his offhanded crossover. Perhaps due to the fact that this was a tendency of his, he didn't last long in The Association. He got drafted by the Wizards during a time when point guards with streetball handles were all the rage, then faded away into basketball trivia contests.

According to fact-haven Wikipedia, he plays for a team in Portland, Oregon that no one has ever heard of, and is most likely the fevered imagination of Stephon Marbury hallucinating after a bad batch of vaseline.

Pause for obligatory handles mixtape:



Dear David Stern,

Please overturn the carrying violations that were imposed to keep these guys down. Even Andrei Kirilenko is hurt by them. God Shammgod could have been the business.

-Everyone

P.S. Don't believe me? Ask YouTube user and theoretical basketball fan 1funnybunny what he thinks of Shammgod:





His Handel sounds like a Bavarian astrophysicist. But yeah. Shammgod's handles were pretty good.

If only a deity could weigh in on the subject.






Quite.
