1)kobe's first way of creating space is by jobbing, and his second way is the V cut.

2)i wanna explain pump fake and pivot, in this move he makes triple threat position and then he takes his jab step then he drives-by and fakes his enemy by a fake shot then he passes by pivoting and he reads the defense that if he has enough space he go for the basket and if he does not have a space and the defense is near he takes a shot from his place.

3)i am actually best at the outside jumper because i can shot better than driving-by.

1. 2 ways that Kobe creates space is by making a v-cut and by a jab step.
2. pull up jumper: the first thing he does is make a v-cut so he can get open. The second thing he does it square up to the defender in a triple threat position. Next he jab steps to try and get the defender to react. Last he does a drive by to get past his defender. and then he shoots the pull up jumper. he reads the defense to see if the big man is in help so that he can stop and pull up. if the big man Is late to help defense he will take it to the hoop and try to get fouled.
3. The move I most feel comfortable with in this video clip is the pull up jump shot.

1. V Cut and jab step
2. He jabs and pulls up. He reads the defense by the distance the defender gives him. If the defender backs up Kobe shoots, if the defender is up close he drives
3. I think maybe I'll be better at the pull up

One way is called the V-cut. Another way is called the triple threat position. The triple threat position helps because he can shoot, pass, and dribble if he makes shots someone can play up on you and you Can drive. The best move I am at is called the V-cut because I am best at 15 footers.

1. Jab Step
-Semi-Fake
2. Jab step, then kobe reads the defense and looks to see if his defensive man has help behind him, if not then he can drive, if there is help he should either pass or take a jump shot.
3. Jab step. It is the most basic yet effective move.

1. v cut, jab step
2.outside jumper, triple threat position then jab step then jumper
he creates space then squares up to read the court to check if there is help behind him while doing this he jabs to make space and to see how the defender moves. if he opens up to much and there is no one behind him he can go in for a layup if there help behind him he can step back and take a shot.
3.i fell I am the best at outside jumper, I have more time to think and process what I am doing and also I am more of an outside shot.

1. Jab Step and V-cut
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 am best at the pullup jumper because thats what i do most of the time

1. V-Cut and Jab Steps
2. One of his signature moves is the Reverse Layup. He reads the defense by seeing on the weak side and he sees that the big is late so that creates a gap behind the defender and then sees what the big does. If he steps up he would do a reverse but if he doesn't he could just do a layup or a dunk.
3. I think that i am the best at the reverse layup because that is the move that i have used and practiced the most.

2 v-cut and by a jab step.
2. one of his signature moves is the pull up jumper. to create space he does a -cut. he then catches the ball and squares his feet. next he jab steps towards the defender and if the defender backs up he approaches the basket and pulls up for a mid-range jumper
3. I think I am best at the v-cut because I am quick and change direction well

1. Some of his moves are a v-cut and a jab step
2. The jab step involves quickly stepping to create space, and if there's no help behind your opponent, you can go to the basket, but if there is help behind the opponent, you can go for the shot.
3. I would be good with the jab step because it creates an opportunity where i can attack the basket, and that's one of my strong areas of basketball.

1) the jab step and the v-cut
2) Kobe likes to receive the ball, and go into triple threat. Then he will do a jab step. If the defender gives space, he will shoot, but if the defender goes to the side, then Kobe will drive by him towards the basket.
3) I like doing the pull up jumper because I do not like being in the paint and having to deal with someone that is a lot bigger than me and have a bigger potential of being blocked. I also am a lot more accurate from range.

1. the ways of creating space are the v cut and jab step

2.one of kobes signature moves is the pull up jumper. he does a vcut to create space, then he squares up and goes to a triple threat position. he does a jab step to create space and reads the defense. he then pulls up for the mid range jump shot and drains it.

3. my favorite is the pull up jumper because i love to take jump shots.

1.Jab step and V cut
2Reverse layup. When he gets the ball he does a jab step if the defender open up to much and there is no one behind him he drive past the defender, and if there is someone behind the defender he just jump shot it.
3.Pull up jumper I believe I can do the steps, I'm fast so I can drive by quickly, and I'm tall so when I pull up my shot will most likely not be blocked, but I don't think I can make the shot in the hoop.

1. Jab step and Vcut
2. One of kobes signature moves is the triple threat jab step. He gets into triple threat then jabs to reads the defense, if the defender opens up too much he can just drive in, if he leaves too much space he can just shoot overtop him
3. My favorite move and the move I'm best at is the reverse layup, I am good at spinning the ball of the glass to create the shot

1. By using a Jab step and V-cut
2. When Kobe catches the ball he goes immediately into triple threat position. He then will do a jab step to see how the defender will react if he gives him space he will shoot, if the defender plays him tight he will attack the basket.
3. My favorite move to do is the pull up jumper, since i am not that good of a ball handler if someone gives me space I will defiantly shoot the ball.

2.One of Kobe's signature moves is the pull up jumper he first creates space the cuts to the basket and squares up his feet and then shoots the ball. He jabs steps past the defender and shoots a mid range jumper.
3.I think the best move I can do is the jab step because its one of the simplest moves and its a move that center should be able to do.

Harrison Cance-

1. To create space Kobe jab steps , and does a V-cut.
2. One of his signature moves is the pull-up jump shot, he reads the defense to see if the defender has help or not and then decides what to do.
3. The move I'm best at is the drive-by because I'm big and quick and can get by most defenders.

1.Vcut and Jab step.
2.Jab step creates space from the defender , and he reads the defense by looking at if theres no help behind the defender, he can drive by him and go for the layup, or if there is help defense behind the man guarding him, he can pull up for a jump shot.
3. the jab step, then the pull up jumper would be the best for me because the jab step would create space for me away from the defender, and I would be able to shoot a pull-up jumper with all the open space , even if I am off balance.

1. He uses the Jab Step and V-cut
2. One of Kobe's signature moves is the reverse layup. For this move, he starts out in triple threat position, then he takes a jab step. When he takes the jab step, he can look at the reaction or movement of the defender, see the space created and act accordingly, such as when the defender makes a move to the kobe's left, he can easily drive in on the right and make the reverse layup.
3. I am probably best at the reverse layup because once you get by the defender the layup is supposed to be easy to make because it's a high percentage shot.

1. V-Cut and Jab Step

2. Pull up jumper. He does various moves such as a v-cut or a jab step in order to
create space with the defender. Then with takes his shot.

3. 3. I think I am best at the pull-up jumper because I am a better shooter than a
driver.

1. Kobe creates space by a V-cut and by a jab step.
2. The reverse layup and he reads the defense because if there behind him but can still block him if he goes up for a normal layup he can do a reverse lay up.
3. I think the jab step because it creates a lot of space for me to drive to the basket which is what i like to do
