Kobe stealing Dirk's "Iron Leg" stepback jumper.

a fade away is normally considered a perimeter move..... IMO

 

Another reason why I'm a huge Kobe fan and respect him -- the guy is always working to improve his game. Always.

That move added to his arsenal will probably add another 1-2 yrs on his career.

 

good for him. fuck dirk. he can go to all hell.

 

Dirk reaction to kobe stealing his jumper :grin:

Spoiler

 

Oh man, I remember studying that first clip religiously just to get all the nuances down. So smooth.

 

did he actually invent that? i have a hard time believing that. i mean when i used to post up on that side of block, i used that move all the time and nobody ever taught me that. it's just such a natural move for me. the normal face-up step-back jumper is the harder one for me because my handling sucks. there must be someone before dirk that used this move.

 

kobe using shoulder to rise up, while dirk just rises up. The shots look similair, BUT they are not because Kobe is more square up to the basket, while Dirk is not. Dirk just shoots the ball sideway.

 

Unless when its Dream doing it.

 

I copied this same move the other day while playing a pickup game.

Based on the evidence, I believe that I too should be in the same discussions as Kobe, Dirk, MJ, etc etc etc.

:grin:

 

I too did the same move in a pickup game. But I airballed

 

Well Dirk did kill their team with it in the playoffs.....

I still think Dirk's is better

 

Kobe chucking again. 7 foot fade away while being triple teamed in the post. Almost airball.

LOL.

 

Hakeem's repertoire of moves and counter-moves means you have to defend the fadeaway, jump hook, dunk or lay-up.
