1. Kobe creates space by executing a V- Cut, and by executing a jab step.
2.In his reverse layup Kobe looks at the person backing up his opponent and when he drives by his opponent he is aware of the other guy coming towards him and he can make the layup.
3.I think I'm good at the pump fake & pivot, because I am already good at all the moves that he uses to do this move and I use pump fakes and am good at shots in the paint.

1) Kobe creates space by doing a jab step and a v-cut
2)His pull-up Jumper, he can read the defense because the defender thnks that he is going to drive for a layup but he pulls back for a jumper
3)I think i am best at the pull-up jumper because as i drive I can pull back and shoot because the defender thinks i will go in for layup.

1) Kobe creates space by getting into triple threat position, jab stepping and V-cutting.
2) Kobe makes sure the ball is away from his opponent when he pulls up for the jump shot, this protects the ball and allows him to guard he ball and be able to create space for the shot.
3) I think my best move is the jump shot because i do not have good ball handling skills, but i am pretty good at protecting the ball and at shooting from medium range.

1. Kobe Bryabt creates space with a jab step and V cut move.
2. Kobe reads the defence in his pump fake pivot move by using a pump fake to trick the defender then pivot around them to get an open shot.
3. I feel I am best at the pump fake and pivot because I have used this move many times successfully in games, and it creates space so I can get an easy shot made.

He creates space by the jab step and triple threat position. A signature move is his reverse layup. He reads the defense in this move by watching his opponent to see if he was gonna block him and by doing the jab step to get the defender to back off him. I feel I am the best at the jabstep move b/c i am fast and have a decent shot. So if i execute the move, i either create space to shoot, or if the defender is very close i can just run right by them for a layup!!!

1.
-V-Cut
-jab/ jabstep
-Fakes

2.
-The reverse layup is where he gets in triple threat position, then jab
steps to fake out the defense, then passes his man and does a drive by
to the basket, and finally shoots a reverse layup. He tests his defense
first by reading his man, then looks at his weak side and sees a gap that
he is able to penetrate in order to drive to the basket and score.

3.
-I think I am best at the pull-up jumper because we've worked on the
triple threat position, jab step, and drive towards the basket a lot
in class. Also, my outside shot is a lot more accurate than my inside
shot and also, I am better shooting with distance on the move.

1. Kobe creates space from his defender by executing a perfect jab step and V-cut but also a pump fake moves his defender.

2. In kobe's Pull up jumper he uses the jab step to create space from his defender and do a drive attempt to the basket but when the defender was laying off on Defense Kobe used a Pull up jumper to score a different way.

3. I believe i can be a monster when it comes to the Reverse lay-up because i go hard in the paint already and im good at the reverse lay-up when taking someone to the basket.

He creates space by v cutting and jab stepping. One of his signature moves is the reverse lay up. He saw that the defender was right in front of him when he went up for the lay up so he spun the ball into the basket from the other side. I feel that I am best at the pivot because my shots that are closer to the basket are usually more accurate and you shoot after a pivot because you are normally close to the basket.

1. Kobe uses the jab step that makes the defender to back up so he has space for the jumper. He also uses the V cut when he doesn't have the ball.
2. His reverse layup is a result of him reading the second defender coming at him. He reads the help and creates a situation where he can score the basket and get a free throw.
3. My best move is probably the strong drive because my jumpers are not stable and I'm just bad at shooting pull ups

2. One of Kobe signture move is the reverse layup, he knows the opponent is going to try to block him so shot the ball backwards.

3. I think I do the jab step because I am pretty good at faking a shot.

1: Kobe creates space by doing Triple threat position, Jab-step, then V-cut.

2:Kobe can read the defense by doing fakes then pivoting for a quick layup.

3:I think i'd be best for a pull up jumper to do fakes on my opponent so they think I'll go for a layup.

1. Kobe creates space by the triple threat position, and then the jabstep.
2.His signature move is the pull up jump shot when the defender thinks he is driving to the hoop, he pulls up for a jumper. He knows whats gong on on the court on defense also.
3.I feel like im best at the pull up jump shot because it is a good move to shake defenders.

1. Jab Step, V-Cut

2. The Outside Jumper is when he gets into Triple Threat Position then he jab steps to create space and then he jumps and takes his shot. He reads the defenders defense by doing a jab step to make the defender think he is going to drive in so the defender goes the direction he fakes and then there is space to take a shot.

3. I think i am the best at the outside jumper because it doesnt require much dribbling and i am not the best at dribbling.

1. Kobe Bryant creates space by performing the V-cut and jab step.
2. During his outside jumper, Kobe V-cuts and jab steps to create space and see the player's reactions and see the defense's help. If the defensive player creates too much space and there is no help behind him , he drives to the basket. If there is help, Kobe raises up and shoots.
3. I think I would be best at the pump-fake and pivot move because I can pivot quickly and the move doesn't involved major ball handling skills.

1)Kobe creates space by using the jab step and V-cut
2)Kobe fakes out the defense by making them think he's going for the layup and when they step back he pulls up for the jump shot
3)I think the best move for me is the pump fake pivot because I am used to playing down low and taking shorter ranged shots

Jab step and a V- cut.

He first uses a jab step to create space, and if he feels he can't drive. Thats when he takes the jump shot.

A jumper because I feel better at shooting then driving.

1. triple threat and jab step
2. 1 sig. move was the reverse layup. He starts out in triple threat position, jabs or hesitates to make his defender lean or shake a little bit. The defender knows that Kobe is going to do something so he is "on his toes". Then kobe drives. He wants to avoid his upcoming opponenton the way so he reverses his layup.

- Nathaniel J.
3. I am the best at this move because I love to drive. So since I'm short, the taller people look foward to blocking me; but if I put a reverse on my layup then they will have a harder chance in doing so.

1. Kobe creates space when he jab steps and uses a v- cut.

2. HE sees that a defender is coming at him at a certain angle so he uses a reverse lay up to get the high percentage shot.

3. IM best at the jab step pivot because I use it a lot.
