One of the things I like to do is cut my defender in half. We kind of do the same thing dribbling the ball on the perimeter. But in the post your super close. (Thread) I attack his outside shoulder cut him in half with hop step. I can't remember if this was using remote play (my releases suck with that much lag). It's that or the contest system got me. That's my excuse 😂

Switch Dribble Hand (in post up) is a fake, direction change and cut off. I'll explore that in this thread. #NBA2k24 #2knodribble Here I use it as a fake and go right into a hook. With a little practice and timing. The hook is easy. The second clip I use it twice. Cut my defender in half and have an angle. Usually results in the fallen defender animation.

After thinking about it. And watching the animation. I'd like to take back what I said about "dead animation". More like I was being lazy 😂. This animation is actually a fake. When you're that low on the block. They don't want you going out of bounds. So a Tween fake

It's basically your exit from post up into face up (I like to call dribble mode. But that's me). Holding L2 will just return you back into the post up. Which will turn into a fade if you press shoot.

Anyone use this jump out animation out of the Open Pivot? Works great with a mid range shooter. Opens a lot of space to create. Just a reminder this is me letting go of L2 (to get this normal jumper). I'm 90% sure most human defenders are going to protect the paint. I'll test. This me holding L2 throughout. You could obviously go right back into the post. But that far away from the rim it wouldn't make much sense. Unless you are trying to avoid an on coming defender.
