Basketball Signature Moves 28: Kobe Bryant's Pump Fake Pivot Jump Shot

Kobe Bryant explains how to do the Pump Fake Pivot Jump Shot from Nike Signature Moves series

"Don't let great defense stop you. Exploit tight coverage with fakes and spins to get the looks you want. "
  1. "Triple threat position
    The triple threat position gives you a starting point for a range of options: shooting, passing and driving. Get into the triple threat position to face up your defender.
  2. Jab step
    Use the jab set to create space and your defender's reaction. While maintaining your pivot foot make quick step motions with your other foot to back them up or throw them off balance. You can also fake passes or fake shots to get the extra edge you need to set up your play.
  3. Drive-by
    Once your defender is shaken by the jab step take it to the hole strong, watching for backup defenders who might close in.
  4. Pump fake & pivot
    If your defender is able to recover and get back in position or if help moves in to cover, beat them with a sudden stop and a strong pump fake. The fake will get the defender in the air for the block or put him off balance enough to use your pivot foot to spin around him. After the pivot you should be open to take the shot or pass to an open man. "
