1. Kobe creates space with the v cut and the pump fake.
2.One of his signature moves is his jab step jumper. When he first catches the ball he goes into triple threat, then he jab steps and then he shoots over top of the defender. If Kobe sees that he creates a lot of space with the jab step he'll shoot. However, if he doesn't create space with the jab step he'll drive.
3.I think I'll be the best at the jab step jumper because i am a good shooter and i have a quick release.

1) jab step, pump fake
2)In the reverse layup fist he got into his triple threat position, then took a jab step, drove to the basket and ended with a reverse layup. The jab step allows Kobe to test the defender and see if he can make him move. If he moves far enough right there is an easy route to the basket.
3)The reserve layup I can attack the basket pretty well.

1. kobe uses a v-cut and goes into the player then pushes out wide to create space. He also uses a jab step
2. one of kobes signature moves are his reverse layup. kobe gives a semi fake and dips. if the defense is on him hard cause they know he can make a quick jump shot so he does a little jab step and goes to their weak side. then he dips his shoulder to move them out of the way.
3. one of the moves i believe im good at is a pull up jump shot because when im on I make alot of ouside shots.

1) 1.triple threat position (jabstep).
2.pull up shot./outside jumper.
2)pull up jump shot:he first does the triple threat position.second he jabsteps.then he does the drive by move.finally he pull up jump shots.he uses this move because then his deffence doesnt know what he is about to do and confuses him.that makes it easier for him to shoot.
3)the pull up jump shot because its easiest compared to the rest and its the best way to get rid of your defense so you can shoot easier.

1. 2 ways Kobe creates space is by going into the triple threat position and doing the jab step. Kobe can either pass, shoot it, or drive to the basket.

2. One of Kobe's signature moves is the reverse lay-up and first he goes into the triple threat position, next he does a few jab steps to see if the defender is going to cut off his drive to the basket or cut off his jump shot. If the defender decides to cut off the jump shot, Kobe can dribble right past him and if he sees another defender that rotates too late to defend the basket, Kobe can do a reverse lay-up to make sure that the defender doesn't block him.
3. I feel like I am most comfortable with the reverse lay-up because I can finish well with both hands.

1. v cut and jab step
2. outside jumper - Kobe uses a v cut to get open, receives the ball, goes into triple threat position, jab steps, and then shoots the jumper. Kobe sees that his defender backs off after the jab step and that the help defense is there, so he decides to shoot the jumper.
3. I think I am best at the outside jumper because I have a good jab step that makes the defender back off, giving me enough space to get off a shot.

Kobe makes space by jab-stepping and using drive bye's. In Kobe's signature move the Pump fake and pivot he see's if the defender makes space under his arm or if he can fake himself into shooting. The best signature move in my opinion was the Pump Fake and Pivot, because he had many choices on what to do to get by the defender and it looked like a good move to use on active players much like the kids at Wootton High School

1. V-cut, Jab Step

2. In kobe's pull up jumpshot he goes into his triple threat then jabsteps and if the defense bites then he drives by and pulls up

3. I think i am the best at the outside jumper because that is what i do most in a game.

2. One of Kobe's signature moves is his jab step.If the defense reacts by stepping back he'll shoot a jumper.If there is no help defense he'll drive to the basket.
3.I'm most comfortable with the pull-up jumper because I use that most in a game.

1. Jab stepping and pump-faking
2. Gets into triple-threat position. He jab steps to get his opponent moving the other way, which gives him space for the jumper. If he doesn't get enough space. He simply drives to the basket.
3. Jab stepping, then pulling for the mid jumper.

#1 two ways kobe creates space is by using the v cut and the jab step
#2one of kobes signature moves is when he is in his triple threat position and takes the pull up jumper or cuts to the basket and gos for the reverse layup.kobe reads the defense in his triple threat position if the defense is on him hard he hits them with a hard jab step to create space then takes a quick jumper if the defense is on him weak he just goes in hard using his speed to make the lay up or in some cases he might use his step back jumper.
#3 When im in my triple threat position and fake a jab step and take a jumper because i am good at selling the jab step and creating space and time for me to get a shot off and make it.

1. Kobe makes and creates space by successfully using the V-cut and pump fake.

2. One of his go to moves is the jab step jumpshot. When he receives the pass he goes straight into triple threat. Then he makes the move by doing a jab step. If he creates enough space he will shoot, if he doesn't he will drive to the basket.

3. I think I will be the best with the jab jump shot because I have a good shot and if that doesn't work a quick step to the basket.

1. He uses the v-cut, and jab step
2. One of his signature moves is the reverse layup. Kobe uses a semi fake, and dips to the basket. If the defense knows that he is about to shoot they guard him tightly, so he uses the semi fake to gain an edge, and the dip to get passed them.
3. I think my best move is the pull up jumper because i have a pretty good shot.

1.) kobe creates space with a v cut and a jab step.
2.) One of kobes signature moves is the jab step drive reverse layup. In this move he jabs, drives by the defender, and does a reverse layup to beat the second defender. Kobe see's his defender isnt gonna give him space to shoot so he drives by the defender then does a reverse layup to score or draw the foul.
3.) I would do best at the jabe step jumper because i have a pretty good shot and a s=decent jab step.

1. Kobe creates space with the V cut, and the jab step.
2. If he jabs and there is no help behind him, he just raises up and shoots.
3.The move I'm best at is the jab step. I have a pretty consitence jumper to where I have confidence to pull up and take the shot and I'm quick enough to beat my opponent to the basket.
