Alright now that we got a little business out of the way let's check out the Kobe Bryant
Fadeaway.
Kobe Bryant Fadeaway is brought to you by Krossover.com.
They have the Shot Mechanics stamp of approval.
Now there are a bunch of different ways that Kobe gets into his fadeaway so we are going
to focus on everything after the footwork.
So the move begins before he even jumps away from his defender.
Check out how early Kobe Bryant locks his eyes on his target.
He knows that the longer he aims the more accurate his shot is going to be so he finds
it really early.
Next Kobe Bryant jumps away from the defender he makes sure his shooting elbow, shoulder,
and hip are all aligned with the basket.
This ensures that the ball will fly straight towards the basket.
Even if he can't initially get his hip facing the basket he whips his leg around so that
way it forces his hips to rotate.
And the last thing is you want to make sure you have a higher then normal shot pocket.
Check out how Kobe brings the ball higher above his head then normal that way he gets
extra separation and can get his shot up quicker before the defender can block it.
So keep in mind there are 3 main keys you want to remeber when you are doing the Kobe
Fadeaway.
Kdey #1 you want to lock your eyes on the trget as fast as you possibly can.
The longer time you have to aim at a target the more accurate the shot is going to be.
Key #2 you want to make sure you have your shooting elbow, shoulder, and hip all in align
with the basket.
That will make sure the ball flies straight and you don't miss left to right like a lot
of people do on their fadeaways.
And key #3 you want to move your shot pocket up.
Instead of shooting from about your forehead like you normally would now you want to bring
it above the top of your head that way you get extra separation from the defender and
it's virtually unblock-able.
So keep those 3 keys in mind and you are going to be drilling the fadeaway like Kobe in no
time.
Again I'm Coach Collin Castellaw with Shot Mechanics.com and Hoop Diaries.com I want
