Then you've got to study Kobe's moves.

Kobe.
Dwayne: Let's try it out.
Eric: Here we go.
Dwayne: Broadway.
Eric: What's up?
Dwayne: Now you know I'm a great defensive player.
Eric: Uh-huh.
Dwayne: And usually when Kobe Bryant gets the ball out on the perimeter, the defense
is at his mercy, right?
Eric: So you want to be able to examine the person on defense.
Dwayne: Okay.
Eric: So your guy is taller than me so I want to use my quickness.
Dwayne: Okay, okay.
See what you got.
Eric: So usually Kobe would get the ball . . .
Dwayne: Uh-huh.
Eric: . . and he'll first get the ball in the attack position.
Dwayne: Okay.
Eric: He's got it in a triple threat position where he can shoot . . .
Dwayne: Shoot.
Eric: . . . he can dribble . . .
Dwayne: Right.
Eric: . . or he can pass.
Dwayne: Okay.
Eric: More than likely Kobe's going to shoot.
Dwayne: Okay.
Eric: So first he's going to hit you with a little jive step.
Dwayne: Okay.
Eric: You don't go, you don't react.
Dwayne: Uh-huh.
Eric: Then he's going to dribble to the right-hand side.
Dwayne: Right-hand side.
Eric: Go between the legs.
Dwayne: Go between the legs.
Eric: As the defender recovers, he'll stop.
Dwayne: Uh-huh.
Eric: Give him a head fake.
Dwayne: Oh, no.
Eric: The defender goes by and he'll get a nice little jump shot.
Dwayne: Okay, let's see if that works.
Eric: Over look.
Dwayne: Let's see if that works.
Eric: See if it works.
Are you ready?
Dwayne: I'm ready, baby.

Open jump shot.
