I've never seen any other player use it?

That was a Connie Hawkins trademark also. Hawkins, in his prime, was tied with Elgin Baylor as the greatest ballplayer that I ever saw. That includes Jordan too btw.
Unfortunately, Hawkin's prime was spent with the Globetrotters because the NBA banned him for years.
