Three Secrets Of Kobe's Dribble Drive

Now that you're more mentally primed to be a
great shooter it's time for some more practical
nuts and bolts, and how-to's. For that let me
bring in my friend Patrick Chylinski.

Patrick has been a top scorer at the high school,
college, and professional level and now does
private coaching in the Southern California area.
He watches a lot of basketball, and lately he's
been studying how Kobe Bryant breaks guys
down off the dribble.

Now if you don't care what makes Kobe's dribble
drives so effective you can skip this tip, but
otherwise here's the big secret.

He uses one simple move to get to the basket:
a stutter-step and change of direction move,
and this is one of his key offensive weapons.
Now here's Patrick explanation why:

Kobe can shoot from outside, and he has a quick
first step, two huge factors. If you can shoot from
outside, the defense has to honor that and guard
you more closely. Then a quick, explosive first
step can get you by the defender.

But what really makes it so effective is the first
part of the move is a little stutter-step and lean
in one direction to get the defender shifting his
weight, then he explodes in the other direction.

It's a move he uses over and over, and it almost
always works.

Grant Hill with the Magic is also great at this, and
the recent Magic-Laker game was like a clinic to
the trained eye. The beauty of it though is it's
something any player can learn to use.

Here's how you can make Kobe's secrets work
for you:

1. Work on your outside jumper and make it
solid so the defense has to respect it.

2. Work on a stutter-step and lean move to get
the defense leaning in that same direction.

3. Then practice exploding with your dribble
and first step in the other direction.

You may not be so smooth at it at first, but
remember Kobe works on his game fanatically.
You just aim on getting better every day. Add
all three components, and work on them over
and over and over again, and you'll become a
better offensive player, guaranteed.
