Lebron created space by using thriple threat and crossovers.
Lebron was succesful on reading the defense by watching his defenders body movement and stance. This helped him be successful because it gave him the ability to pick what move to use on the defender.
I think Lebron James is more of an offensive threat because when he gets on a hot streak on scoring it lasts a while. Lebron is reliable. Lebron also has good strength and is an all around shooter.
Paul Saah
Kevin and Lebron used Pivit fakes, Spins, and crossovers to create space for shots or charges the basket.
After they did there moves they watches the response their opponet has and they act upon it
I Beileve Lebron is a more offensive player as he uses more moves to get to the basket compared to Durant who only used moves to create open space for shots

1.Kevin Durant creates space by either crossing over and pulling up or by spinning into the paint with a spin move.
2. Kevin Durant's ability to read the defense allows him to move to the space where the defense is weak and take an easy shot.
3.Kevin Durant is a bigger threat since he is able to shoot from a variety of distances better than LeBron and Durant also scored more points than LeBron leading his team to victory over the Miami Heat.
1. LeBron James a jab crossover and a stepback jumpshot to get open to get his shot off.
2. LeBron James' ability to read the defense allows him to know where to attack and see who will shift over so he can dish it out for a three pointer.
3. I think LeBron James is more of an offensive threat because he is a good all-around offensive player and his speed and ball handling ability allows him to blow past his defender.

1. Kevin Durant created space between him and his defender by using the hesitation pull up (crossover as well sometimes..) move which opened up space for him to shoot. Durant also used spin moves and shot fakes to create separation.
2. Kevin Durant's ability to read the defense made him very successful in this game.. He would see if his defender was giving him room to operate and in that case, he would pull up. When he would see his defender overplaying him while there was no help side D, he would blow by his defender for a layup or a dunk
3. I personally think Durant is more of an offensive threat because of his versatility. Durant is taller than most of the Small and Power forwards who guard him which allows him to shoot over them. In addition, Durant has one of the best ball handling skill-sets in the league which not all players his size have which can create problems for his defenders.

Jonathan Yune P 1 Kevin Durant would first do a jab step or an in and out dribble, then afterword do a jump shot to gain the height advantage.
Kevin Durant's ability to read the defense lets him enable himself to figure out how he is going to shoot.
I think that Kevin Durant is more of an offensive threat because of his ability to make shots that are farther away from the paint in which is filled with the defense.
LeBron used the crossover and spin move to get by his defender. His ability to read the defense has helped him become successful because he knows what to do and when to do it.For ex. if the defense sags off he knows to shoot. I think LeBron is more of an offensive threat because of his B-ball IQ and ability to do many things well. #LeBron is 2 good Ashwin Acharya
1.) Kevin Durant uses his ball handling, specifically his step-back and spin move to creat space and get his shot off.
2.)KD's ability to read the defense allows him to pick which move to use to score or pass for the assist.
3.) Kevin Durant is obviously the better offensive player, because he's longer and can score from any angle. Also, 4 time scoring champ.
2 moves Kevin durant used were a jab step drive by the defender to a pull up jump shot and a normal crossover to a jump shot
His ability helped him to understand after he gets by the first defender what to do if they were in the paint he would pull up and if the d was spread out it left a wide open lane
Kevin Durant you cant stop him he has handles of a guard shoots like one but he is 7ft tall so it gives him a chance to go up and get an offensive rebound and get his team another chance and hes to quick and long so if he wants to drive and shoot over you he can.
Diontae Wilson
One way LeBron created his shot, was when he jabbed, then swept the ball below his knees, and had a tough step-back jumper. Another way LeBron created his shot, was when he drove by Perry Jones, and Serge Ibaka had to help, and stop the penetration. Then LeBron made a turn-around jump shot, which created space from him and his defender. By reading the defense, LeBron can dictate what he wants to do. I think LeBron James is more of an offensive threat because he can drive, post-up, shoot, and create for his teammates. For example, when LeBron drives to the hole, the defense will have to collapse in the paint, and that will lead to an easy 3-pointer.
Charlie Zhang
1)a. Kevin Durant created space by using the Jab Cross over method.
b. Kevin Durant created space by using the Jab Strong Arm Drive method.
2) Kevin Durant's ability to read the defense allowed him to be so successful because if he couldn't, then most of his shots would be blocked.
3)In my opinion, I believe that Lebron James was most of an offensive threat because he uses the methods listed more often than Kevin Durant, and he did more layups than Kevin Durant.
Alex Ivanov
1. Kevin durant used the crossover dribble and spin move to get open for a shot and to get to the hoop and dump it off
2. Durant saw lebron was over playing him on one side so quickly crossed him over and knocked down the open jumper. After he made the spin move past lebron he saw the help defense coming and when it arrived he dumped it off for an easy layup
3. KD is the better offensive player as his jump shot is superb and can shoot over his defenders with his long arms

Malcolm Amobi
1. First LeBron used a crossover to get open and he used the stepback to get open and score.
2. The ability to scan and read the defense allowed him to know where the weak spots and open spots are so he could score.
3. LeBron is more of an offensive threat because he can score pretty much anytime he wants.
Amogh Rao
2 moves that KD used to create space/score were through the crossover dribble, and the pull-up jumper.
Durant's ability to pick apart the defense made it easy for him to create scoring opportunities, and thus, allowing him to dominate the game.
I think that Durant is better offensively because on that end of the court, he can do just about everything. He can shoot from just about anywhere, he can drive to the hoop at will, and he can cross you up and just pull up for a mid-range jumpshot.
Amogh Rao
1. Kevin Durant created space by using crossovers and jab step drives.
2. Kevin Durant's ability to read the defense allowed him to recognize weak spots so he can figure out where he can make an easy shot.
3. Kevin Durant is more of an offensive threat because his ability to shoot from any distance makes him too nice, and he has crazy handles.

1. Kevin Durant used the crossover to create space on his jumpshot while Lebron used the step back a lot.
2.Kevin's ability to read the defense made it so that he always knew which move would be most effective to either score or find a teammate.
3. Kevin Durant is more of an offensive threat because he is a superior scorer with a better jumper and an unguardable 6'10 frame.
1.) Kevin Durant used a crossover to lose his defender and get to the basket. He also used a pull up or step back jumper to create space between the defender and him so he could have an open shot.
2.) Kevin Durant's ability to read defenses allowed him to be so successful because it helped him know when to pull up and shoot or drive the ball or pass the ball. It also helped him know where to attack and with what move.
3.) I think that Kevin Durant is a better offensive player because he is a better shooter which allows him to get easier buckets and makes the defender have to worry more about his shot.

1. Kevin Durant used crossovers and spin moves to create space
2. Kevin's ability to read the defense helps him to successfully make it to an open spot to shot the three
3. I think kevin Durant was more of an offensive threat because he can go to any place to make the shot as LeBron only goes to the paint to shoot
Kiana Johnson 1st period
1. Durant created space by utilizing the step back move and various crossovers.
2. Durant was very successful when reading the D by either taking a smart shot or getting an assist.
3.Lebron is a larger offensive threat due to his strength and ability to get to the rim easily.

keven durant and levron james both use the length and athletic abilities to create space an be successful.
he did moves that react to what defenders can't stop

Lebron creates space while in triple threat using moves like a cross over, spins. He then ovserved the defense to dicide on his next move. Lebron is a more offensive player because of his amazing handleing skills and being able to make his way to the basket.
Kd uses the crossover into a pull up jumpshot a lot or a strong side drive into a pull up jumper
He read where lebron was intending to go a lot and went the other way, or just shot over him
Kd is more of an offensive threat because of his size and length, deep shooting range, and ability to attack off the dribble #realmvp
Nick Bien
Kevin Durant used the spin move and 3 point line.
Durant created space to make his shots by crossing people and just stay where it was space.
the most offensive player leborn James is He don't give up on trying to get the ball. he made sure he got enough space to make his shots.
Jasmine Williams
Kevin Durant created space using crossovers and spin moves.
By reading the defense, KD was able to determine which move to use to get past his defender.
Lebron is more of an offensive threat, as he can shoot from long range, dribble past the d if they get too close, and effectively pass the ball to the open man when the help d comes.
