1. lebron gives a jab step and uses a drive by to create space
2.on the reverse layup, if there is a defender in the paint to pick him up, he will go in between him and the basket to score
3.i am best at the reverse layal because i am not as good at shooter with a defender in my face

1) The V cut and the jab step

2) Through the outside jumper, Mamba does the jab step to sort of fake out the defender and before shooting and looks over the defender to see where his help is to attack the basket or just make the jumper

3) The pull up jump shot I execute beautifully because I CROSS ANKLES EVERY TIME....BOOii!!!

Kobe creates space using the triple threat posistion, a jab step , and a fadeway for space on a jumpshot.On the pump fake, he drives and the pump fakes to give the defense a sense that he is shooting the ball; then he does a spin move only moving his pivvet and then jumps to the basket.

1 .Kobe uses the "jab step", and the "drive"

2. When he does the jab step he creates space so he can take a quick jump shot, and when he does the jab step he also creates space so he can drive.

3. I feel that I am the best at a jabstep because I create space and I have a ok shot so I can make it most of the time.

1. Kobe creates space by using a triple threat and jab step.
2. Kobe uses a jab step to help him read the defense. If the defender has another defender behind him, he uses a pull up jump shot, if there isn't anybody behind the first defender, he can attack the basket for a layup.
3. I feel that I am the best at a jab step, then attacking the basket for a layup because I am not a good jump shooter, but I can drive in very well.

Kobe creates space by the jab step and the triple threat position . One of his signature moves is the pull up jumper, he does triple threat, jab steps, drives by and and shoots while jumping. He tries to pass the defender and pulls back so he can get a clear shot. I would be good at the first one because its not as complicated as the second.

1.To get open without the ball and to create space Kobe Bryant uses a v-cut. this move is when he cuts in towards the basket and then runs back out in a v shape. This causes his defender to trail behind him giving him room to handle the ball, pass, or shoot. Also, he uses the jab step. This move helps him read the defense because he can read the defenders reaction to see what he leaves open.
2. One of his signature moves is the pump fake pivot. Kobe pump fakes and then tries to get in to the basket for a shot. If the defender goes up for the block then he ducks down and drives by. If his defender is playing close on him he pump fakes and then pivots left for an open shot. These are the teo options he has to decide on after reading his defender.
3. In this video I believe that I am best at the pull up jump shot because I am better at faking and then pulling up to shoot than faking and getting by someone.

1. Kobe uses a v cut and a jab step to create space.
2. On the outside jumper, Kobe uses the jab step to shake the defender, then pulls up for the shot.
3. The outside jumper because I can create space and I am a very good shooter.

1.Kobe uses the "drive" and the "jab step" to create space.
2.When he uses the "jab step" it makes the opponent think he is going one way when he goes the other. Therefore, he can read the defense by looking over the opponents shoulder.
3.I feel like i am best at the "jabstep" move because i can fake out the defender and make most of my shots.

Kobe likes to v cut and jab step to create space and to either pull-up for the shot, reverse layup drive, strong side drive followed by a quick perimeter shot or pump fake, use the pivot foot to spin around the defender to score or pass to an open teammate.

1. Uses a V cut to create space and a little fake to the left when he drives.
2. He uses the pull up jumper to establish a mid-range game.
3. I generally prefer the V cut jab drive because i like to drive a lot and cause fouls.

Ayushna Kavathekar,
Kobe creates space by using the V-cut then squaring up right away, the Jab step, and the triple threat position.

Pump fake & pivot and pull-up jumper are two signature moves Kobe uses. He can read the defense when executing these moves. When doing the pump fake and pivot, he can read the defense. He knows that that when he does a pump fake, the defense will fall for it by jumping, and when they do, all Kobe has to do it pivot and make the shot. When Kobe does the pull-up jumper, Kobe knows (reads) that the defender is confused as to what Kobe is going to do. Either make the outside shot or go for the lay-up. When Kobe pulls up, and elevates for the shot, the defender is almost too late to block the shot.
I think I am best at the pump fake and pivot move. This is because when I am playing and I have good defense on me, this move comes almost naturally to me. It’s very accurate, helpful, and not that hard to do. Also when I have given up my dribble, I often use this move so that I have a good shot and I’m not double dribbling.

1.Kobe uses a jab step to create space he also uses a v cut.
2.Kobe's jab step helps create space to act like he is driving then he finds his help then he pops the outside j.
3. I feel i am the best at the pull up jumper because i am a decent driver sp when i jab people might think im driving then i can shoot the shot

Kobe Bryant uses a jab step and v cut.He uses the jab step which is like a fake step, causing the defender to react thinking that you are about to run, which you are not. After that he looks up to see if their is any other opponent their to stop him if their is he would take a shot but if their was not a opponent ahead of him he would pass the player and take a closer shot. I think I would be best at the v cut because it is simple and it is close to a lot of different moves in other sports.

Two ways Kobe creates space are by doing the jab step and do a V-cut. One of his signature moves is the outside jumper. First he goes into triple threat. Then he does a jab step to create space and takes the jump shot. I feel I’m best at the reverse layup move without the reverse part. I think I am best at this because I have done this a few times before in a game.

- Kobe Bryant uses a jab step and a drive to create space.
- To illude the defense, Bryant uses the jab step so he has a enough space created to take the shot.

- I am best at the jab step pull up jump shot because I am a better shooter than I am at lay-ups.

Kobe Bryant creates space through the outside jumper, and the V-cut. Ultimately, Kobe has many signature moves. One signature move he uses is called. "Reverse Lay-up." Reading the defense in the move, Kobe uses the drive by before the reverse lay-up. He does this because he's reading the defense behind his opponent to see where his help is from. Lastly, I think that i's best at the pull up shot shot because when space is created between me and my opponent, it gives me enough time to pull and take the shot in which i'm good at.

1. Jab-Step and V-Cut
2. He uses the jab-step to analyze the defense and see the reaction. He creates space through the jab step which gives him the option to either drive or pull up.
3. I feel like I'm best at the pull up jumper because people say I have a decent shot so I can probably make it.

Kobe creates space with the jab step, and also a spin-move. One signature move is a pump fake, then he cuts past the defender and puts in a layup, he readers if help is coming in order to see if he should do a regular layup or a reverse. I fell i am the best at the pump fake because it is the easiest and it fools the defender alot.

1.Kobe uses triple threat and jab step to create space from the defender.
2.When he uses the jab step it makes the defender go one way, then he goes in the opposite direction. Since there was a defender behind him, he could use the jab step to get by him.
3.The jabstep because I can fake out the defender and drive to the lane to hopefully make a basket.

1) Kobe uses the jab-step and v-cut
2) Kobe uses the jab step so his defender will try to guard where he thinks Kobe is going to go, and while there is a brief time slot, Kobe does a pull up jump shot.
3) I believe that I am best at jab-step because it is usually pretty easy to fool my defender into thinking I’m going somewhere, then either shooting or quickly passing it to someone

He uses the jab step and v-cut to create space.

In Kobe's uses the outside jumper he use a jab step to create a cushion between the defense and himself and takes the shot. in that play he read the defense by seeing how th player reacts to the jab step and he also looks behind the defender to see what is goin on behind him

I think that the best move is the pump fake and pivot beacause the defender dose not know if you are going to drive in and try and make a lay up or if you are going to do a pull up jump shot and when the player sees you pulling up the ball he will think that you are trying to shot a pull up jumper and try to block it but you can just spin around him ojn your pivot foot and make an easy lay up

1) Kobe creates space by using the triple threat position and the jab step.
2) When Kobe does the jab step, he tricks his opponent into thinking he'll go one way when he's really going in the opposite direction. This way, he knows his opponent will go for the fake, allowing him to make the real shot.
3)I'd be best at the outside jumper because I'm a decent shooter and a weaker faker.
