Kobe Bryant Pivot Series Pro Hop Shot Fake Reverse Pivot Basketball Drill

This basketball drill is all about being able to use proper footwork and score out of the pivot series. The reason that it is called the Kobe Bryant pivot series is because Kobe was one of the best players in the world at scoring with a pivot move. This is an advanced move, but can be very effective if you are being guarded by an over-aggressive defender that likes to try and block shots.

It will also allow you to use a defenders aggressiveness against themselves because once you get that half step past them they will be trying to get back in front of you and they will lose track of their defensive fundamentals and overrun you when you make the pivot move.

Drill Goal: Work on finishing around the basket by using the pro hop shot fake reverse pivot move.

Equipment Needed: 1 basketball and a chair.

Drill Tips: Slow down the move after the shot fake and make sure that you do not travel. After you reverse pivot you must jump off both feet at the same time or it will be a travel. Sell the shot fake with the ball, your eyes, and body.

Drill Directions: Set up a chair on either wing and have the line of players start 5-8 feet out behind the chair facing the basket. The player is going to dribble at the chair and make a move to the outside and then when they get closer to the basket they are going to pro hop back to the paint. Now the player is going to shot fake, reverse pivot, jump off both feet at the same time, and then finish with a layup. Get your own rebound and get back in line.
