    TO DUNK IN TRAFFIC OR TO NOT DUNK IN TRAFFIC

    My only question is when to decide to dunk or when to try a "layup solution"? Is this dependent on their vertical, layup/dunk aggressiveness? I do not know.... but I do know that i hate getting my dunks blocked...(lol)


    Any ideas?

    Should be blatantly obvious that you have a lane to the hoop if you're going to try and dunk, unless you're LBJ or Josh Smith, etc.

      But what about a defender realizes that you have a free path to the hoop and he comes over to contest in the paint, when should I try to dunk? or try the layup?

        Well the situation you're describing doesn't fit into the "blatantly obvious lane to the hoop" as I mentioned above so I'm attempted a layup every single time in that situation, or a quick pull up.

          I'm doing that now but i am assuming that in some cases depending on what my vertical is so maybe a 90+ and I should try to dunk each time?

            If it's a stud like LBJ then I try it. Hopefully we'll have a better idea in terms of strategy after the patch when more fouls are occuring. Right now I'm in favor of taking layups because there's less chance of a collision animation in comparison with a dunk.

              I don't hold turbo unless I want to try and dunk. Most of the times I'm going for layups because I want to try and have some control of avoiding the defense.
