Skill Set Series:
Featured is Kobe’s 2-step running jumper. This shot may appear simple, but not many others have applied it or seemingly even tried to consistently. Kobe didn’t limit his usage of it to one side of the floor. Driving right meant jumping off his left, and driving left required going off his right. He typically faded, as that 2nd step functions to create separation from the defender when elevating. Kobe used it a lot during the 2002-03 season, likely his athletic peak. In many of the ‘03 clips, specifically 2:21 in San Antonio, notice how his release is higher than it’d been previously. His chiseled-out frame allowed for no wasted movement, making an opposite legged running fadeaway with a high flick of the wrist look effortless.

Which clip in this video is your favorite?

[@elliotgreen2481]

To me, the one over Paul Pierce, when he palmed it, but lost it, but still converted. He didn’t have many hand injuries so he could palm the ball easier back then. Later in his career, broken and dislocated fingers, could only cup the ball or palm with his left hand.

@@elliotgreen2481 great point

[@rdr4095]

I like denver at 2:00 the most

[@yoamiunpinco4372]

My favorites are the ones where he comes straight down the middle and drifts off towards the baseline with the kiss off the glass. Such a cool looking shot and difficult to make.

[@elreiec1]

Yes

[@drewjohnson918]

Don’t let this video fool you. This is a difficult shot to master.

[@dsp_91]

It really is, you have to have a really soft touch when you release your shot

[@key2cozy622]

Thank you sm for this vid so much of Kobes game went unseen it's crazy how good was.

[@crazeybballer]

Kobe's game OMG....very less players want to take these kind of shot in todays, they always want to create space....very less are going and hitting face to face shots inside the arc

[@chitownkidd33]

Tough. A lot of gems here.

[@anthonycelestin3559]

A highlight of Kobe scoring/shooting over double teams

[@dcshow]

One day

[@bfe954]

It’s a beautiful shot. I just think nowadays there are other shot options that for the average person are more efficient. You have to have unusual athleticism to consistently make that shot. Even if you worked every day to develop the balance needed for that shot, it still requires a lot of elevation and coordination.

[@ArmandoKozomara]

Thank you for this compilation. I love using this move. Mamba Forever!

[@austinwilliams2976]
