How To Slam Dunk In Nba 2K21?

Are you looking to take your game to the next level? Check out our tips on how to slam dunk like a pro in NBA 2K21.

Pick the best shooting guard build

The shooting guard (SG) is the second-tallest position on a basketball team and is responsible for shooting the ball and playing defense. As such, they need to have a mix of speed, agility, and shooting ability.

In NBA 2K21, there are five build archetypes available for the SG position: Sharpshooting Slasher, Sharp Shooter, Shot Creator, Slasher, and two-way slasher. The best shooting guard build in NBA 2K21 depends on your playstyle.

If you like to shoot threes and dribble around your opponents, the Sharpshooting Slasher build is ideal for you. This build gives you the three-point shooting accuracy of a marksman with the dribbling skills of a slasher. You will be able to shoot over smaller defenders and drive past bigger ones with ease.

If you just want to stand behind the three-point line and rain threes on your opponents, go with the Sharp Shooter build. This build gives you incredible three-point shooting accuracy at the expense of your dribbling and driving abilities. You will be virtually unguardable beyond the three-point line but you will have trouble getting to the basket against taller defenders.

For a mix of shooting and driving ability, go with the Shot Creator build. This build gives you good accuracy from beyond the arc as well as the ability to create your own shots off the dribble. You will be able to get your shot off against most defenders but you may struggle against taller ones in one-on-one situations.

If you like to drive to the basket and dunk on your opponents, go with the Slasher build. This build gives you elite driving and finishing ability at the rim but little in terms of shooting ability. You will be able to blow by most defenders but you may struggle against bigger ones in traffic.

For a mix of driving and shooting ability, go with the Two-Way Slasher build. This build gives you good accuracy from beyond the arc as well as solid driving and finishing ability at the rim. You will be able to get your shot off against most defenders and finish at the rim against taller ones thanks to your agility and vertical leap

Create your own shooting guard

Any player can jump and dunk in NBA 2K21, but not every player can do it consistently or with the same style. If you want to be able to show off your slamming skills like the best of them, you’re going to have to put in some time in the MyCareer mode.

The first thing you need to do is create a shooting guard. It doesn’t really matter what your other attributes are, as long as you have all of your dunks maxed out. You can get away with having relatively low shooting and passing stats since you shouldn’t need to do much of either when you’re driving to the hoop.

When you’re starting out, make sure that you use the MyCareer Skill Trainer to get better at dunking. There are several drills that you can do, and they’ll not only help improve your ability to dunk, but also give you a feel for how the game controls when you’re trying to do one.

Once you leave the Skill Trainer, it’s time to take your newfound talents onto the court. In order to make sure that you can actually dunk in a game, we recommend setting the difficulty down to Rookie or Pro until you get a hang of things. From here on out, it’s all about practice and timing.

As long as there isn’t anyone in front of you or guarding you too closely, driving towards the hoop and then pressing X/A should give you a nice little boost into the air. While you’re in the air, press X/A again and then use the right analog stick to pick which way you want to dunk. Depending on how close you are to the hoop and how high up you are, different animations will play out.

Get to know the best shooting guards in the game

In NBA 2K21, there are a total of 10 shooting guard archetypes to choose from. However, not all of these archetypes are created equal. In this guide, we’ll take a look at the best shooting guards in the game and how you can turn them into unstoppable Scorers.

The first shooting guard archetype that we’re going to recommend is the Outlet Passer. This archetype is all about setting your teammates up for easy baskets. Outlet Passers have the ability to pass the ball accurately and efficiently, making them an invaluable part of any offense. If you’re looking for an archetype that will make your teammates better, then this is the one for you.

The next archetype on our list is the Lockdown Defender. As you can probably guess from the name, this archetype is focused on defense. Lockdown Defenders have the ability to completely shut down their opponents, making them an invaluable part of any team’s defensive strategy. If you’re looking for an archetype that will make your opponents fear going up against you, then this is the one for you.

The final archetype that we’re going to recommend is the Stretch Four. This archetype is focused on scoring and shooting from long range. Stretch Fours have the ability to shoot accurate three-pointers, making them a valuable asset on any offense. If you’re looking for an archetype that will provide your team with instant offense, then this is the one for you.

Choose your shooting guard wisely

You want a shooting guard that’s not only good at shooting, but also has the size and strength to take it to the rim. In our experience, the best players for this are usually between 6’4″ and 6’8″. The reason for this is because they have the perfect mix of being able to shoot over defenders, and also having the size and strength to finish at the rim.
