Kobe Bryant's Outside Jumper demonstration including walkthrough from Nike Basketball's Signature Moves

From Nike.com
"Kobe Bryant : Outside jumper : To establish yourself as a well-rounded offensive player you need to show your defender you're deadly from anywhere. Run this move several times to make your opponent respect the jumper."

Here is how to do Kobe Bryant's Outside Jumper:

  1. "Triple threat position
    Get into the triple threat position to face up your defender and check your options: shooting, passing and driving."

  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 shots to set up your play."

  3. "Jumper
    Once you've got your opponent off balance with the jab step, square up again and release a tight jumper. "
