2 ways that kobe creates space is the v cut and then he squares up so that he has the cushion to jab step

in his outside jumper he v cuts outside and then immediately catches the ball in triple threat he then does a jab step and then shoots the jumper he reads the defense by jabbing and creating that space the gives him the opportunity to read the court. most of the time he doesnt concern himself with the person that is guarding because he knows that he can beat him
and he looks behind the man to see where the help is coming from and kobe can than use anything he wants because the man cant see behind him so he doesnt know what is going on and he can either shoot or penetrate the defense.

i feel that i am the best at the penetration move because i am more of a post player because i am bigger than most players

1. Kobe creates space by making a v-cut and then squaring up.
2. The reverse layup- player gets into triple threat position, jap step, drive by, and then do a reverse lay up. He reads defense by looking for an open space/gap to penetrate and make a layup.
3. I feel like I'm good at the pull-up jumper. Mostly because it is simpler than the other moves. I'm not very good with layups, so a pull up jumper from the perimeter is my kind of move.

1. Jab step and pump fake

2. He does a jab step, reads how the defense reacts and will move according to where the defense is not covering.

3. I can perform a reverse layup well

Kobe makes v cuts and squares up to make space.
He does jabs to make space and read the defense behind him
My favorite move and best move is a jab and jumper

1. Jab step, V-Cut
2. In the reverse layup, Kobe gets into triple threat position once he gets the ball. He then jab steps allowing him to drive in and pull off the reverse lay up. Performing the jab step allows him to read the defense making him decide whether or not he should make a jump shot or drive in.
3. I think i'm the best at the pull up jumper because I'm more of a shooter than a ball handler.

1. He uses jab steps and v cuts to create space from the defender
2. Kobe uses the pull up jumper when the defender knows he is good at driving to the basket and he pulls up when the defender defends the drive and isn't ready for the shot
3. I think I would be best at the jab step outside jumper

1. He jab steps and V cuts to get space
2. Kobe does a pull up jump shot when the defender isn't in position or he has already drove to the basket
3. I think i would do best with the jab step outside jump shot because im small so creating space for my shot is key

1.) He creates space using Jab Steps and V-Cuts
2.) One of his signature moves is his Outside Jumper; Based on his defender's position, he then makes the decision to either shoot, or drive the ball to the basket.
3.) I think I would be the best at Jab Stepping and making a Jump Shot, as driving isn't really a move I'm good at.

1. Jab Step and Pump Fake Pivot

2. In the reserve layup he looks if the defense ids playing him close and respecting his jump-shot so then he attacks the weak side after seeing if there is no help in the paint and also uses the rim so he can not be blocked.

3. I think my best move is the pump fake and pivot because it is very useful against bigger defenders.

1. V-cuts and jab step 
2. When Kobe does the pull up jump shot he jab steps and the defender moves one direction a little too much and that crests space and time for him to pull up and shoot
3. Driving to the basket because I'm a little bugger than most girls so that way I can just brush off the defenders and go up for the layup

1. 2 ways to create space and jab step and v-cut
2. Kobe use fake dribble(rocker motion dribble) when the defense knows he's going to raise up shot
3. I feel that I'm best at the pull-up jumper because I'm not good at layups and also shots from long distance. And I want to shot from near the goal.

1. he uses a v-cut to get open, and a jab step to create the space
2. In his pull up jumper, he gets the ball in triple threat, and then he does a jab step, and then he takes one dribble and rises up. The defense has to respect the jumper, and they cant give up a layup either, so in this move, he can quickly get off a good shot while the defense isn't completely sure of what his move is.
3. I am best at the pull up jumper, because I like to get my shot off the dribble.

1. Kobe does jab step and a V-cut.

2.He jabs steps and then while jab stepping, he reads the defense and if the defender jumps, he'll drive to the basket but if not, he'll take the shot.

3.I feel like I'm best at the jab step because it's an easy move to master and not much movement required.
