1. One way he creates space is by making a V-cut to the block and back. Another way he makes space is by making a jab step at his defender to make him flinch.
2. One of his signature moves is his jab step drive or pullup. If he sees there is no help he drives to the basket but if there is help he pulls up after the jab step instead.
3. I like using the jabstep drive because the jab makes the defense react and when they react they are off balance or out of position giving me the option to drive or pull up based on how they are playing defense.

1. Kobe bryant creates space by using a v-cut to try and lose his man in the paint. He also uses a jab step to see how his defender will react.
2.One of his signature/most famous move has to be the spin pivot shot. After seeing that his opponent has gone for the ball, Kobe either steps forward and shoots or spins off his pivot foot, reads the help defender, and tries to see if he should pass or shoot.
3. My favorite move to use has to be the jab-step drive. The use of the jab step is the easiest way to find out how your defender would like to play you. For a quick guard like me, if I find my defender giving me any small sort of opening, boom, ill take the foul or 2 points.

1. The two things Kobe uses to get open is the v-cut and the jab step.
2.The jab step drive is one of Kobe's famous moves. The defender knows he has a jumper so Kobe uses the jab step, then dip his shoulder to drive to the basket where he could either pass or shoot.
3. One of my favorite movies mentioned in the video is the outside jumper. I like to use this move whenever the defenders are covered tight on me to prevents me from getting the lay-up. i can use the jab step, get enough space and the shoot my shot over them.

1. Kobe creates space by using a v-cut and a jab step
2.On his signature jabstep drive he reads that his defender is playing up by respecting his shot and he sees that his help is late, so he blows by his defender and beats the help to the hoop.
3.Probably the jab step straight into the shot because i can shoot that shot pretty well, i create good separation, and im not quick enough to consistently rely on the other moves.

1. Kobe uses the v-cut and jab step in order to create space which helps him beat his defender.
2. One of Kobe's signature moves is the reverse layup. First he uses his jab step to create space, then he surveys the floor to see if a big man is coming. If the big man is late, he drives. If not, he pulls up for a jumper. When he drives he reads the big man and can draw the foul for an and 1.
3. I like to use the reverse layup because it allows me to use speed which make up for my lack of height.
David Silversmith Period 3
1. Two ways Kobe creates space are using a v-cut and the jab step.
2. One of his signature moves is the reverse layup. After beating his man with a jab step, he draws the "big" in to foul him under the hoop so that he can create a 3 point play. He can do this because he has the ability to go under the hoop, draw a foul by sort of bumping into the big and still manage to lay the ball in
3. I am best at the reverse layup. I am pretty quick so I can get by my defender and go around the other side of the rim to draw the foul. I have practiced the reverse layup so I am better at it.

1. Kobe implements the v-cut and jab-step to create space off of his defender.
2. One of Kobe's many signature moves has to be the mid-range pull-up jumper after the drive by from the triple threat position. He usually incorporates this move to catch the defense by surprise after the defense has already seen the possibility of a pull-jumper or a simple drive-by and lay-up.
3. Well obviously I'm not Kobe Bryant, but the one move that I would love to complement to my game would the pump-fake and pivot, mainly because I like a mid-range game with a possibility of a little foot-work to add more possibilities to the offense.

1. kobe creates space by using a v-cut and a jab step
2. One of his signature moves is the jab step drive. Kobe reads how the defender reacts to the jab, and they will usually stay up because he's a great shooter. Then, he blows by his defender and gets a bucket.
3. One of my favorite moves is the jab step into the shot because i have a decent shot and it makes the defender guard me tighter after I make one or two
1. Kobe creates space by using a V-cut to get open, and a jab step at the defender to make him react.
2. One of his signature moves is the reverse layup. He uses the jab step to see if his defender reacts but the defender has to respect his shot so he stays playing tight. Kobe drives by him and does a reverse layup so he can use the basket to shield his defender from blocking his shot and draw the foul.
3. I am best at the reverse layup. If I make a few shots the defender has to play me tighter, and I can drive but because of my height a reverse layup is the best option because I can use the basket to prevent my defender from blocking my shot without fouling.

1. Kobe Bryant creates space by using a v-cut to lose his man in the paint, and by using a jab step which causes his man to react to it.
2. One of his signature moves is his jabstep jumper. Since his drive is nearly unstoppable, the defender has to react to the jabstep. Once the defender opens up, he dribbles to the opposite side for a pullup if there is no help. If there is help, he will take a jumper right after the jabstep.
3. I like to use the jabstep jumper. I can use my speed to my advantage in this move. Most people recognize my ability to drive, so they usually lean back to the jabstep. From there I have space to shoot.

1.Kobe creates space with a jab steps and v-cuts.
2. One of his moves is the reverse lay up. He uses the triple threat then drives by the defender, reading the help from the big, most likely a center and decides whether to dunk it or go for the reverse lay up.
3. I feel like I am best at the pull up jumper because I have a good step back move and a decent mid range jumper.
kobe creates space by using the v cut and jab step
one of kobes many signature moves is the reverse lay up, after he uses his jab step to get baseline, he draws the big man into fouling him. As kobe takes the contact, he finishes on the opposite side and it results in a 3 point play
I am the best at the reverse lay-up since i love driving the ball and the reverse gives what usually happens to be a wide open lay up.

two ways he creates space is with the w cut and jab step
His signature in my eyes is his fade-away mid range shot
i am best at a jab step then jump shot or a drive and then pullup jumper.

1. Kobe creates space by using the jab step and pump fake.
2. His signature move is the jabstep pullup,if he gets space from his defender and is open for the shot
3. My favorite move is the jabstep drive, because based off of how the defender is playing defense I'll either chose to drive, or pull up.
1. 2 ways kobe makes space is by doing a v-cut, and by jabbing
2. one of kobe's signature moves is the reverse layup. If the defense doesn't react and stays loose he will shoot if they play tighter he'll drive by them.
3. I like using a jab step and reading the defense for what I should o next, whether it be to shoot or to drive to the basket.

pd.3
1.He uses a v-cut and a jabstep
2.he doues a really good pullup to create space and then makes a semi-open outside shot.
3.I can do a pretty good v-cut to try and make an outside shot.
1.Kobe uses a v cut and a jab step to create space.
2.I think his favorite move is his jab step because he does that to create space and then shoots in his defenders face most of the time.
3. I like using the jabstep so the defender can back off and then i do whatever I want to do.
