203. Even a genius has no way out now.

Kidd hit a three-point shot, and the Nets led 3 to 0.

On the switch from defense to offense, the Bobcats attacked.

Okafor received the ball in the low post, pushed against Jason Collins, turned left facing the baseline, and scored with a hook shot!

That was a signature Buddha-like back play from Duncan's second peak!

Before the 2000 playoffs, Duncan suffered a major injury. After his return, his explosiveness declined, and he reduced the frequency of his previous flying style of play. Like O'Neal, he cut down on sheer power moves and started to focus on skill in the low post.

That period coincidentally was when Okafor was moving from a high school senior to a college junior, laying the foundation of his skills and naturally, Duncan was his role model.
