1.) He creates space by triple threat position and the jab step.
2.)Jab step, drive by fadaway. He reads the defense by how far he gets by them.
3.) I think im the best at the jab step because it gives you space to work with.

2 ways kobe creates space is with the jab step and the v cut.
to get his outside jumper, kobe first v cuts, the after catching the ball he squares up with the defender giving him the cushion of separation he needs to read the court and see whats going around him, and with that space he is then able to take the outside jumper. the move i feel the best at is the jab step, because i enjoy giving myself space by tricking the defender into thinking i will drive which gives me the space to take the jumper

1.) Triple Threat, Jab Step

2.) He uses the jab step, and when the defense plays off and gives his room he pulls up for a jump shot. Or if the D is too close he will go by them for a layup.

3.) I am best at the jeb step because i can blow by defenders with my speed if i am played closely

1. Jab step and pump fake.

2. Pull up jumper. He knows the defense knows he can drive so he drive hard and then pulls up for the shot.

3. Pull up jumper because I don't have amazing handles but I do have a pretty good jump shot.

1.) He creates space with the jab step and the pump fake.
2.) He reads the defense by doing a jab step and seeing how they react. If they don't move, he'll drive, if they jump back, he'll shoot.
3.) I think I'm best at the jab step jumper because it's easy to score with and I have a good jumper.

1. V Cut and jab step

2. Reverse layup when the defender is in a position to block the shot

3. Pump fake pull up jumper because it provides lots of space for an easy shot

1) Kobe creates space by v cutting and the jab step.

2) He jab steps, sees separation and drives and finishes. He sees a big man coming so he makes contact and makes the reverse layup.

3) I am best at the jab step pull up jumper because I have a good jump shot.

1. He creates space by using the jab steb and triple threat position which is 2 of his most well known moves

2. He reads defence by first doing a jab step after that he will do a jumper or if the d doesn't buy it, he will drive and pump fake to fake out his defender and get a easy busket.

Im good at pump fake and pivot because i do not take jumper shots a lot so i drive because i am fast. I do not jab step or do pull up jump shot because i am not coinsistent on my jumpers even
if i am open.

1. v cut and jab step

2. he does a jab step to see how the other person reacts to it, if they step back, he does a jump shot. if they are still able to cover him, he dribbles to the basket for a layup.

3. I am best at the jab step because it gives me more space against tall person

1.) He creates space by v cutting and using the jab step.

1.) He creates space with a jab step and a v-cut.

2.) One move he uses is a pump fake and pivot. he reads the defense by looking at the man behind him to see who else he has to get by and by faking the man on him out.

3.) The best move i can preform is the jump shot because i am not the greatest with my ball handling skills but i cant shoot ok.

1) Jab step and pump fake

2) Kobe first makes a v cut from the paint to his spot on the arc where he catches the pass from his teammate. He squares up and then jabs, creating space between him and his defender. With that space he is able to drive passed his defender and to the basket. And in order to avoid the help defense, Kobe finishes with a reverse layup.

3) I feel that I am best at the pump fake because I can trick people into thinking that I'll take the shot, but then I can easily drive past them

1. He creates space by squaring up and going in triple threat and then jab stepping.
2.When he jab step is triple threat, if the defense backs off he can pull up jumpshot, if they stay on him then he can drive
3.I feel like im the best at the pull up jumper because i feel i have good control with my feet and that i can make the shot.

1- Kobe uses the jab step and the V cut to create space
2- Pull up jumper he first goes into triple threat, then jab steps, drives by the defender then jumps up for a pull-up jumper. If he sees the defender has back up behind him he will pull up for a jump shot, if not he will go in for a lay up.
3- The jab step because it is the easiest of all the moves, most simple and easiest to execute. Also with the jab step i am able to create more space for me to move away to either drive in or jump shot

1.) He creates space by going into the triple threat position, and then using the jab step to create space

2.)Reverse Layup- Triple Threat,jab step, and then drive by. Kobe uses his jab step to create space, and if the defender buys it and steps back, Kobe can read the defense because he has space

3.)I think i am the best at the jab step, because if i get space i can just pull up or drive using my size

1.) Kobe creates space with a jab step or with a pump fake

2.) Pull up jump shot is a common move used by him. He checks up the defender and if they try to block him and he drives, if they don't react he shoots it.

3.) I am good at the jab step jump shot because I mostly practice it at home.

1.) He does the V cut and jab step to create space.

2.) He uses the pump fake and the pivot. He reads the defence and fakes the man out.

3.) Jump shot, just beacuse it is one of the easiest and I am okay at it.

1.) Triple Threat and Jab Step

2.) Kobe uses the jab step to create space between him and the defender to take a pull up jumper or drive in for the layup.

3.) I am the best at the jab pull up jumper because my size limits my driving abilities for larger defenders.

2 ways Kobe creates space is with the Jab step and the v cut. 2. he does a jab step and then he drives and then he fadeaways he reads the defense really by how far he takes them. 3. the move i feel im best at is probably the jab step because i can jab step to the right trick them and go on the left and finish the layup.

1.) Kobe uses the jab step and the fake shot to create space for himself.

2.) he uses his shoulder nudges the defender and that fades into a shot. HE also uses the outside shot alot since its his strength.

3.) I think im good with the jab step because once it gives me space im good at knocking down the shot since I have a good outside shot.
