How To Dribble Like the Pros in NBA 2K20

Improve your ball-handling skills in NBA 2K20 with these essential tips on how to dribble like the pros.

The Crossover

In basketball, a crossover is a move used by the ball handler to switch the ball from one hand to the other while maintaining dribble continuity. This is often used as a means to elude a defender or to gain an advantage.

The first step

Start with your left hand on the left side of the ball and your right hand on the right side of the ball. Place your fingers on top of the ball, not wrapped around it, and make sure your thumbs are pointing down toward the ground.

The second step

After you’ve read the previous section on how to do a basic crossover, you’re ready to add a few moves to your repertoire. These will help you keep the ball away from your defender and give you an edge on your way to the basket.

The first move to add is the in-and-out dribble. To do this, start by dribbling the ball low and close to your body. As you bring the ball up, quickly snap your wrists and move the ball from one hand to the other, letting it bounce off the ground. This should create enough space between you and your defender so that you can blow by them.

If your defender is playing too close, you can use what’s called an “in-and-out hesitation dribble.” This move is executed the same way as the regular in-and-out dribble, but when you reach the top of your dribble,you pause for a split second before going into your crossover. This will cause your defender to hesitate just long enough for you to blow past them.

Finally, one of the most effective ways to get by your defender is to use what’s called a “between the legs crossover dribble.”To do this move, start by placing the ball behind your back with one hand and then quickly bringing it around front between your legs. As you do this, snap your wrists and change hands so that you end up cradling the ball in front of you with your opposite hand. This should create enough space for you to blow past your defender and get to the basket.

The third step

After you have the hang of using your right thumb to control the dribble, it’s time to start using your left thumb as well. This will take some getting used to, but once you get the timing down, you’ll be crossing over like a pro.

To start, press and hold the X/Square button on your controller with your left thumb while still using your right thumb to control the dribble. As you move your right joystick from left to right, you should see your player start to cross over.

Now, release the X/Square button and quickly press it again. This will cause your player to stop and change directions quickly, giving you the ability to blow by your defender.

Remember, the key is to use your right thumb to control the speed of the dribble while using your left thumb to do the crossover move. With a little practice, you’ll be regaling your friends with stories of how you crossed over Jordan in 2K20.

The In and Out

You’re on the break with no one between you and the hoop. You have the ball in your hands and your eyes on the prize. As you approach the three-point line, you make your move. You take one hard dribble to the left, leaving your defender in the dust, then take two quick crossover dribbles right and explode to the basket for an easy layup. You made it look easy, but there’s a lot of skill and technique that goes into dribbling like a pro. In this article, we’ll break down the ins and outs of dribbling so that you can take your game to the next level.

The first step

To start, you’ll need to have the ball in your right hand if you want to go right, and your left hand if you want to go left. You should be standing still with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your elbow in and close to your body, and make sure your hand is close to the basketball—but not touching it.

The second step

After you have the ball in your control, you need to get your controller in the right position. For most people, this will mean having their thumb on the right joystick and their forefinger on the trigger button. You’ll also want to make sure that your other fingers are not blocking the view of the buttons or joysticks. If they are, you won’t be able to see what you’re doing and you’ll likely end up making a mistake.

The third step

Now that you know how to do the basic controls for dribbling in NBA 2K20, it’s time to move on to some of the more advanced controls. The third and final step in dribbling is using the R Stick to do dribble moves. These are special maneuvers that your player can do with the ball to try and get past their defender. To do a dribble move, simply press and hold down the R Stick in any direction. Your player will then perform a fancy move with the ball, such as a between the legs dribble or a crossover.

The Spin Move

The spin move is one of the most effective moves in NBA 2K20, and it can be pretty easy to do once you get the hang of it. To do a spin move, you first need to sprint towards the basket. When you’re close enough to the basket, press and hold the left bumper (LB) and left trigger (LT) at the same time. While you’re holding those buttons, use the left analog stick to spin around in a circle.

The first step

Dribbling is an important skill in basketball that can be the difference between winning and losing a game. If you want to dribble like the pros in NBA 2K20, there are a few steps you need to follow.

The first step is to get in a low stance. This will help you keep your balance and have more control over the ball. You should also keep your eyes up, so you can see what’s happening on the court and make decisions about where to go next.

The second step is to practice your crossover dribble. This is when you move the ball from one hand to the other while you’re running. To do this, start by dribbling the ball low and close to your body with your right hand. As you reach the middle of your body, quickly switch the ball to your left hand. Immediately start dribbling with your left hand and continue running towards the other side of the court.

The third step is to practice your between-the-legs dribble. This move is often used to surprise defenders and break through their defense. To do this move, start by dribbling low and close to your body with your right hand again. As you reach the middle of your waist, quickly switch the ball behind your legs to your left hand. Immediately start dribbling with your left hand and continue running towards the other side of the court.

By following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a better basketball player and impressing your friends in NBA 2K20.

The second step

Assuming you’re already in a good position to begin your dribble, the next thing you need to do is choose which direction you want to go. If your player is moving to the right, then you’ll want to use the right analog stick to pick a direction.

Picking a direction is as simple as moving the analog stick in whatever way you want your player to go. For example, if you want your player to move to their right, then you would push the analog stick to the right. If you want them to move more towards the baseline, then you would push the analog stick down. The further you push the analog stick, the more dramatic the change in direction will be.

One thing that can trip people up is that NBA 2K20 uses what’s called “pro-stick” control for dribbling. This means that the game reads not only where the analog stick is pointing, but also how far it’s being pushed. So, if you just barely tap the analog stick in a given direction, your player will only make a small movement. But if you push the analog stick all the way down or to the side, your player will make a much sharper cut.

The third step

After you have your crossover down, it’s time to move on to the Spin Move. The Spin Move is the third and final step in our breakdown of how to dribble like the pros in NBA 2K20.

The Spin Move is performed by flicking the Right Stick in any direction while pressing and holding the Left Trigger. This will cause your player to spin in that direction, allowing you to change directions quickly and leave your defender in the dust.

The key to using the Spin Move effectively is to use it sparingly. If you use it too much, your defender will catch on and be able to predict your next move. Instead, use it as a surprise move to catch your defender off guard and create an easy scoring opportunity for yourself or your teammates.
