@MrSharky334 true, but if you have watched kobe recently, he is starting to do this more and more against NBA players. He is starting to incorporate it into his everyday game.
@keongkim Which is what's so great about him. The best players copy successful moves and incorporate them in their game. It's not like copying during exam when it takes no skill and practice..
putting up the knee like that creates more space for the shooter.. especially if your a 7footer with long legs that shot is practically un-defendable unless you foul.
Kobe's obviously been practicing that shot haha. And yeah he's gonna steal the move every great player works on one thing that is weak in there game during the offseason and kobe obviously wants to put that move into his post up game.
I'm actually a Dallas fan. Don't assume that, just because I negatively reply to James fanboy comment on a Kobe video, I'm going to turn out a Lakers supporter.
and get a clue, what are there copy rights for a god damn move. kobe is THE MOST astute player in the game. he knows more than anyone that hes losing a step therefore hes going to compensate by adding moves like this
i can assure you well c kobe replicating that move much more now that he doesnt have the elevation he once did. this will just allow him more seperation
@JohnNguyenFTW Exactly, no such thing. Past players have always bestowed their skill set onto the next generation.. But it does call into attention the genius and inventiveness of Jordan, Hakeem, Magic, Maravich, etc. all a class to their own.
Even if you don't like Kobe you have to respect him. He works his ass off and is a student of the game. At his age, he's still adding new moves to his game that allow him to still be an effective scorer even though he has lost some of his explosion.
it' good that Kobe put his famously good ego aside and learn a move from a player that swept him. A few years ago his arrogance would've stopped him from doing so but I can he's more mature now.
The Origin of this kind of fadeaway was from Oscar Robertson (If I'm not wrong.) And the generations adapt it to their form like Jordan,Kobe and Dirk.
Hey Idiots This is Dirks Fadeaway kobe and Mj regulary go off of two feet Dirk Goes off of one to make space his fadeaway is alot more consitent and is one of the hardest shots to contest in basketball history probably second to Kareem's Sky Hook
Kobe the only person to consistntly hit fadeaway j's, check out his vids from any yr since 1996, and to say he stole it from dirk is saying that derrick stole his speed from Iverson... Fuckin lebron fans always complainin
TO MAKE IT CLEAR!!...Dirk did NOT make the fadeaway famous. To say that disrespects the MANY that did it before him. The only difference between his fadeaway and others, is that he raises his right knee high, to create some separation between the ball and the defender
Kobe just doing what he got to do just to become the BEST, i mean to me i kno everybody has there own style and crap but,,,YOU WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET THE TITLE AND BECOME MVP AND TO BECOME THE BEST
@TJ271992 He didn't steal those moves... Man, you kids are all so stupid. Saying Curry stole Rondo's fake. When it was was Hakeem's move and before that Pistol Pete's.. EVERYONE USES THE SAME MOVES. People just make things into their trademark by multiple usages.
@TheShnag what the hell are u talkin about? Kobes BEEN havin those moves....he's been the best non big man in the post for years now.....u must not watch the games...
Can't blame Kobe for adding this to his repertoire. - It's a great way to create space.... even better when you're a 7 foot sniper. - that said. I doubt Kobe would trust this shot in a critical game. - This is Dirk's move.--- "The One Foot Euro Fade"
He doesn't do that shit on purpose you douches, you to create space any way possible, even when if it looke wierd. I do this move everytime I practice or play, since I was 14 years old. Idiots...
I've never seen A Kobe one leg fadeaway and Im a huge NBA fan. Someone please back up these statements of Kobe ONE LEG fadeaways before Dirk with some proof.
Jordan did the one-legged fade numerous times....But Dirk is the first to really make it a trademark shot. Kind of like the Jordan fade away...He didn't invent it, but he used it so much he became synonymous with the shot.
yall some dick suck'n ass fuck'n homo-thugs.....just hate'n on someone that dirk aint n well never be so change ur panty's to something more man like n keep it move'n.....#8 to #24 to high hater lmao
he's doing it for fun. that is still dirks trademark fade away though. besides if kobe tried it in the nba then he would probably have it blocked due to his size compared to dirks
k too all of you talking shit why wouldnt kobe use something that will help him to advance isnt that what everybody does we all try to learn from different players to help us advance
he has the most sweetest jump-shots that you can ever see in the NBA besides Nowitzki. he is the most fundamental shooter in the NBA, thats what I love about kobe
You see, dirk shoots that fadeway like that cause he's a uncordnated german with no footwook. So instead of using footwork, he just shoots off one leg, because he's 7'0 and he knows no one can block his fadeway, reguardless of how many feet he jumps off of to shoot. Same with Larry he had no post up footwork so he just shot it and crazy angles because he was 6'10 and it was hard to block him. Kobe didn't steal shit from him he just shot an off balance uncordnated shot, he just looks good doin it
@T82486 I think everybody will agree when I say your an fucking moron ... the "uncordnated german with no footwook " how you call him is the mvp of the nba finals ... and if may add you freaking arrogant dickriding kobe fan ... those 2 you just mentioned are 2 of the greatest nba players in the history so please spare us with your pseudo all about basketball knowing bullshit ... and go analyze some footwork in porn ...
He doesn't have great footwork jackass. If he did he wouldn't have to shoot so much, because he could just take ppl to the basket. And just because your the MVP of the Finals doesn't mean you can perform everything right on a basketball court you fucking idiot. Tony Parker was an MVP of the finals, but I guess because he was an MVP, that's makes it ok to say that he's a great three point shooter. Or that the "floater" that he utlitized in the finals, can be named the "Tony Parker Floater"
Your right my man, he doesnt get a lot of the calls that a "Kobe" would get. But his footwook isn't that great. This is why he shoots that one-foot fadeaway. When I say footwork, I mean like Kobe, Like Shaq(in the post), like Hakeem(in the post and out), etc. These guys have great footwook to wear they can create "separation" from the defender to do whatever they have to do. Dirk has good foot wook, but not enough.
Take a look at his post play, now and before, and you see it's the same moves everytime. In the post: He'll back them down, and then shoot that one foot fadeaway. Or fake one way go the other spin move jumpshot. And when he's face to face. He take a one bounce dribble and spins and if he has the lane he'll take it, if he doesn't which most of the time he doesn't cause he so slow, he'll spin and shoot the jumpshot......
@T82486 has it been stop an u say he slow but cud u stop him, really as u lok at it he was being lazy when kobe plays smaller people he dnt use his post move against bigger player but still tell me has kobe ever been stop from doing it
i hope your fucking joking with the title , cause if this is dirks move michael jordan stole it from him ( sarcasm ) stupid faggot its a common move thts like sayn rondo imitates chris paul cause he passes stupid fuck
kobe should honestly master this shot. he's gettin a bit older, he's put on some decent size tho. that'd be a good shot for him, give them a bump, make a bit of space and rise of for that silky jumper
is there really a difference if you use one leg or two to fade? it seems like it would be the same cept the one leg is alot more difficult to maintain your balance
That's a great shot for going against a taller defender when you can't jump over him which is starting to become the case for Kobe. And if the guy's shorter, foget about it! It's so effective and throws off the timing of the defender because you essentially cut the footwork in half. It's a shot that doesn't take a lot of energy to get off, and offers a lot of counters once the defender starts looking for it. It will be fun to see Mamba use it as a primary . .in 2013! (F*CK!!)
Your right, he did copy a move, but that was my whole point and the reason no one steals or copies the skyhook is because no one can really do it, and if they could than every big man in the league would be using it and that would be considered stealing or copying from the great george mikan and kareem himself. So some players do steal moves and kobe's one of them.
we'll see if kobe will utilize this in regular season. he always tries stuff out in the off season but when it comes to it, he usually abandons most of it
@isaacd35 He trained with Hakeem you stupid fuck... AND YOU CAN'T STEAL A MOVE, otherwise everyone steals everything... like no look passes and dunks...
@JMFTiM3 Yeah, he did train with hakeem, and when he did, he took some of his moves, he didn't train with dirk and he still stole his fadeaway,but I bet you won't admit that you dick riding kobe lover.
@isaacd35 FIRST OF ALL... I respect Kobe as an NBA player but he isn't close to being my favourite player in the league... You are just a Kobe hater... And I'm right there with you, I respect him but I get pissed because his sole purpose in life is to be like MJ... Which in my opinion is the stupidest thing you can do in life, strive to be someone else, I hate his attitude and shot jacking but even so... He copied a move... big whoop, does everyone "steal" when they use a skyhook? Please...
@ciremdezcat What I'm not the one saying that... The other guy is... I'm saying everyone has to copy something at some point and you can't steal a move... Can you even read?
ive been watching kobe since he was with shaq in the late 90s hes always done fadeaways fuck off and some people are right the fadeaways been goin on since the 70s its changed and evolved but for damn sure kobe learned his own way ... once again fuck off!!!! lakers allday
BLACK MAMBA TIL I DIE TRUE KOBETARD N NEXT SEASON KOBE GNE B USING DIRKS FADE AWAY LOL YEA DAT IS DIRKS MOVE ALL DA WAY KOBE BEEN PRACTICEN DAT MOVE UCA TELL LOOK KOBE NT KICKN HIS LEG OUT ASS MUCH!
thats dirk move right from the beginning.i dont get the argument anyway:kobe didnt need that move over the years,cause he is the much better athlete,his jumping abilites provide him the fade away.dirk is no jumper at all,so he trained this move to give him an unstoppable weapon on the court.this is maybe the most undefendable move since karims skyhook.love you dirk,youre the best!keep your style of basketball and bring us another ring!greets from munich!
if u practice this you can really master it... i got really good at it at one point. all you do is just keep keep shooting hundreds thousands of shots of day like this... the one legged fadeaway is good cuz u dont gotta deal wit gravity while jumping so you have more force to shoot the ball. once u master it its virtually unguardable
Kobe has not been doing that I'm the biggest Kobe fan. Even if you hate Kobe, you gotta at least respect the man and his work ethic. Always adding new bits to his game every off season. He wants to stay at the top forever lol.

That's a great shot for going against a taller defender when you can't jump over him which is starting to become the case for Kobe. And if the guy's shorter, foget about it! It's so effective and throws off the timing of the defender because you essentially cut the footwork in half. It's a shot that doesn't take a lot of energy to get off, and offers a lot of counters once the defender starts looking for it. It will be fun to see Mamba use it as a primary . .in 2013! (F*CK!!)

Your right, he did copy a move, but that was my whole point and the reason no one steals or copies the skyhook is because no one can really do it, and if they could than every big man in the league would be using it and that would be considered stealing or copying from the great george mikan and kareem himself. So some players do steal moves and kobe's one of them.

if you see something and you like it just add it to your repertoire, I don't see any harm in that.

we'll see if kobe will utilize this in regular season. he always tries stuff out in the off season but when it comes to it, he usually abandons most of it

there goes kobe, first stealing from Hakeem now dirk, but I bet he won't admit that he got this move from Dirk that's how arrogant he is
isaacd35 4 months ago
@isaacd35 He trained with Hakeem you stupid fuck... AND YOU CAN'T STEAL A MOVE, otherwise everyone steals everything... like no look passes and dunks...
JMFTiM3 4 months ago
@JMFTiM3 Yeah, he did train with hakeem, and when he did, he took some of his moves, he didn't train with dirk and he still stole his fadeaway,but I bet you won't admit that you dick riding kobe lover.

@isaacd35 FIRST OF ALL... I respect Kobe as an NBA player but he isn't close to being my favourite player in the league... You are just a Kobe hater... And I'm right there with you, I respect him but I get pissed because his sole purpose in life is to be like MJ... Which in my opinion is the stupidest thing you can do in life, strive to be someone else, I hate his attitude and shot jacking but even so... He copied a move... big whoop, does everyone "steal" when they use a skyhook? Please...

jfack1 4 months ago
thats dirk move right from the beginning.i dont get the argument anyway:kobe didnt need that move over the years,cause he is the much better athlete,his jumping abilites provide him the fade away.dirk is no jumper at all,so he trained this move to give him an unstoppable weapon on the court.this is maybe the most undefendable move since karims skyhook.love you dirk,youre the best!keep your style of basketball and bring us another ring!greets from munich!

if u practice this you can really master it... i got really good at it at one point. all you do is just keep keep shooting hundreds thousands of shots of day like this... the one legged fadeaway is good cuz u dont gotta deal wit gravity while jumping so you have more force to shoot the ball. once u master it its virtually unguardable

Kobe has not been doing that I'm the biggest Kobe fan. Even if you hate Kobe, you gotta at least respect the man and his work ethic. Always adding new bits to his game every off season. He wants to stay at the top forever lol.
