Anyone mess with pound dribble step backs?

Especially vs Human. It's great to keep them honest. They think the drive is coming and splash.

Yep. That's another move I'm stealing from you. Btw, Luka did something similar against the Kings a few days ago.

Man, this thread is amazing. I've watched a lot of great moves here. Can't wait to practice them once I get my controller back.

Btw, that post hook by Robinson is one of the cleanest moves I've seen in any 2k.

Thanks!! I really want to get down the shimmy hook. After trying it yesterday. I feel like I need a lot more practice in the area. I didn't know why it's so easy for me to do it with fade away. But I have such a hard time doing it with the hook.

Hahaha I was literally trying this after the game. It's pretty tough to pull off the way he did it. But it's definitely possible. I think the level of body contact is why.

I made this thread about Enter/Exit Post up. Or what I like call the reverse pivot. In 2K18 I made a video about face/post ups.

Very similar to this Brunson move.

I might have shown this earlier. But when a defender is pointing in the opposite direction. ESPECIALLY when they are trying to recover back to your body (See that Duncan vs Z-Bo example). You can hit them with a hop step that will throw them off balance. That's why I've really love running post up plays. Especially with that flex screens

Anyone mess around with this Jump out animation out of the post? It's really great.

It creates a ton of space. So your defender is human is going to try and eat that space up. I tried covering all the different outcomes. But it's a nice little more.

I used to a lot of the jump faders out of the post, this tactic I don't use as much because I find the consistency to be lacking sometimes.

Wait are you talking about the Hop Step out of post up or Just normal fade from a back down.

Here is my take. I've noticed yes fades are probably the most effective post up shot (I think hook shots are just as good). But I think mixing it up is probably the best way to destroy a defender. You can just read a defender. Instead of this pre programmed fade.

I think this "jump out" animation is more for perimeter players. A player not looking to bang down low (especially if they don't have the badges). Once you jump out there. They can just read the defender. He comes out=drive. He doesn't=Shoot easy mid. That's kind of how I see it. I wouldn't recommend a player like Shaq to use this. But even a player like Zion could create space with his dribble and get an angle and score

The above I'm fading. Imagine me post hop with a Zion. He most likely will clear him out.

I was talking the hop step fade, so you hop step then go into the fading shot.

Ha that's awesome I was literally practicing those tonight.

This guy I follow on YouTube. He does a version with a shutter first then he hop jumpers

https://youtu.be/vW2SjXYzZrc?si=hXQHaa3cYTDS0UeD

But in my playing around with it last night I found a different animation for the same input.

Have you come across this before?

You've obviously made a light bulb go off for me. So I was mixing the post up exit move I was showing before. Into the the hop fade shot. Some very nice results I must say.

Now that I can get behind.

The herky jerky fade jumper I sent from Dame_301. The animation drives me crazy trying to time the release (it's a double press). That's probably why I won't do it in a game.

Yes, exactly why I've stopped doing certain ones. To be fair, there was another version of this in old games I'm sure had to be a travel where you catch the ball in the post (don't use your dribble) and then do the hop step fade haha. I think there would be a gather dribble thrown in but it was silly the amount of space you could create basically doing a stepback hop step out to the 3-point line from the nail, not that it was an easy shot to time.

Sooooo I just want to say. It's still in the game. I took Larry Bird out for some practice.

That's insane amount of space created.
