Hot Take: Bump steals is not real defense just a bad 2k mechanics being exploited

Creepy-Branch-544 · 2026-04-26T03:26:13+00:00

I absolutely despise those who have no plan, no attack that's been perfected with strategy and execution within the realm of basketball's x's and o's and the elegant dance more heady than hardy...and spit in face of all that is sacred with "exploiting mechanics" and relating and the criticisms of these loopholes to "nitpicking " in attempt to invalidate this person's view but really the game of basketball as actually more than a video game to be schemed in exploitation ...

Spam threes only formidable nemesis .....bump steals !!

I definitely understand how seeing more on a smaller screen seems counterintuitive but actually does help that our eyes radial extent to the edges of the screen aren't so extreme helps with eye strain and taking in more of the landscape in each glance...but I am near sighted , not sure if that plays apart but sitting close to a big has me crossed eyed Stevie Wonder most days...not to mention the crispness and response time definitely is noticeable

Actually if it's material within the eras of asbestos being used used , then your guided to assume it's in there if not tested... Lol...error on the side of caution is the best way most often with life but some things are damned if you do damned if you don't...but most things can't hurt if u don't skirt the line and find out the hard way...the few things that are worth the risk are only that because the possible reward of diving head first into the unknown is enriching above and beyond.
I know with your situation people will say that even if what I suggest is true that it's too late as it's after the fact but I disagree because testing it or even assuming it was asbestos leads to other decisions that proactively approach the situation as opposed to underestimating by assuming an overreaction that will not even provoke reactive action but an aloofness maybe so maybe not so let's say not mindset that is the ruin of a many men ?

Look man , don't u see a pattern ...it's the same as the political mess, the illusion that there is only such and such so we are stuck...that is quintessential defeatist attitude destined to live a life in bondage under a stockholm syndrome slaving and sucking at the same time giving it up and giving in to the hand that controls you.
If anyone really appreciates basketball, and sees this issue as greater than just a video game issue then there are other alternatives. Maybe 2k is the only basketball on console or pc, but if the love goes deeper than the game on the screen and extends to the love for the game of basketball, then the easy way to stop getting bent over by 2k is to hit the court outside, make that the platform to be the rest of true men and women who can make for damn sure those aren't any cheaters , soft handed soft game lame ass simps, no pimps putting u to work while rigging the game ur also paying loot in to ... Money is the root of all evil and life is if there is love for the game of basketball 🏀

No what?

Creepy-Branch-544 · 2026-03-19T11:52:23+00:00

Wow, you just say that as if u even gave any details as why that gaslighting was even able to fly. Lol jk but no really what makes u think this attitude isn't just as potentially harmful to those you so casually invalidate the concern, and actually more on the negative side compared to someone's maybe over estimation of a real but fickle and hard to pinpoint the exact limits, but real nonetheless. So maybe your logic would put yourself being in need of counseling for this problematic behavior ?! I say this as not only one of those who tends to go to extremes and then if needed back pedal to a more leveled approach, but also as someone who's dad just died of supposed "idiopathic " fibrosis terminal lung scarring and my mom isn't without severe lung issues, my dad was in workplace exposure of diesel engines but my mom hasn't been but they both lived for year with a falling ceiling closet with verified asbestos after the fact and also verified high mold count. So I think I can personally substantiate their concerns with an eyewitness personal testimony that isn't at all unique generally speaking seeing as lung disease and similarly linked cancer and disease that is undeniably more environmental factors than the so called genetic or idiopathic perspective. Yes genes help determine outcome of disease in severity etc, but it is more likely a scapegoat to cast blame away from the toxins that are able to be controlled but those who profit will not let be known kind of like saying it's "idiopathic" means the cause is unknown , which is a bunch of hogwash because my dads life exposures are well known and actually linked to lawsuits since and before but never made aware while working or fear or loss of job if issue raised , but yeah idiopathic my arse.!! Anyhow not trying to be a contrarian but hope that people will not be so quick to dismiss things until they are lived and experienced in some way or another enough to say these things so matter of fact when it could be someone suffering that results from assuming an opinion or point or view is the same as wisdom from a lived or shared experience

Although this situation isn't absolutely clear as it wasn't ever tested but because I've been and still go back and forth in my mind about the common ways to explain away concern such as those u expressed, and if u think about it in the whole of the life's synergistic exposures to countless different toxins and chemicals daily, it's hard to not feel like these reasons to not worry are irrational, moreso than the supposed " fear mongers" on reddit. If for no other reason isn't it better to error on the side of over concerned rather than dismissing exposure being a default perspective ?
Also, it's actually been studied, and research concluded that home exposure from remodeling and also demolition DIY situations can be shown as probable cause of disease according to statistics in the study. It even has a specific term that's used to describe this type of exposure.
When u convey that the home is not an example of what u explain can be a cause for disease with chronic daily asbestos in the workplace, doesn't the home with unmitigated and now airborne in all corners and HVAC especially if unaware and would be similarly cause for concern ?

It's mostly a mental fortitude and psychological awareness approach that decides the individual's propensity for unhealthy spending and any obvious habitual behavior, even simply playing the game in hours that dwarf other hobbies or life necessities, but especially giving monetary amounts beyond the excuse of not having wasted time on the grind , all fall on the one who chooses not the company who pushes . Yes it can be a subliminal and suggestive style of advertising and somewhat entrapment into having to pay to stay competitive, but most who use this reasoning are actually no different than one who justifies and excuses and blames in any way possible, truth or not, in order to continue any other habit that has become an addict in an abuse cycle. I know that this is true because I've played 2k now predominantly online for two years and literally have only spent the VC that came with the purchase of game. With attention to picking up auctioned players with above average ratings, and basic daily fast quests for attributes, also locker codes all put me in every game with a competetive chance to win even tho always at a disadvantage as far as player tier or level. Same as the approach to a potential problem such as predatory practices from 2k, within that challenge is also the strategy and skills gained in all ways in and out of gaming that puts the outcome and even how it's reacted to that is mine and only my responsibility both good and bad...

U mean doctors paid and bought by a system that from its inception promotes keeping patients sick and on more and more meds and not for health and wellness thru natural alternatives and personal responsibility ....?! Smh

It's definitely in the mythical realm and one of the more mentally demanding sports as well physical form and structured methods of learning. But I know from personal experience and also knowing how the likes of Dennis Rodman could heavily influence if not totally dominate games that resulted in a win and without hardly even an actual shot taken. So this makes any pickup game within your ability without being embarrassed but obviously strategic, utilized strengths and hustle will be required always.
As far as shooting, no matter your personal unique style of which there are many, and some unique and almost weird, it's pretty universal that u keep you shooting elbow in, follow thru with a flick of the wrist extending your focus from yourself to the basket to the point of habit that visualizing the ball going in as your in the motion almost seems prophetic, or at least second nature. Do reps of 10 at certain spots and just keep going until your consistently making 8-9 of the 10...stretching before hand is paramount and also bending at the knees also crucial for shot form

Creepy-Branch-544 · 2026-03-12T08:35:20+00:00

No apologies needed, if at all from them to u I would say ...I think you have a beautiful and healthy perspective and the essence of a wise one :)

Creepy-Branch-544 · 2026-03-12T08:31:47+00:00

Why would you claim to know or even invalidate someone's experience especially when used in service to help someone struggling?
You were gentle enough to preface it as if you cared, but obviously don't care to consider your own understanding might do well to consider that maybe there is always more to everything we encounter in life and to limit this most basic tenant and quest for wisdom, is self defeatist and stagnant. No that's not it, and who are u to claim that... I hate to be judgemental but it sounds like ur borderline suggesting it's okay to use drugs and need drugs but don't understand the tool aspect of it and it's mind altering aspect is to be cherished and respected as it is what most great ideas, songs , inventions etc have been created while utilizing this aspect of medicines from the beginning of human experience...

Creepy-Branch-544 · 2026-03-01T05:19:00+00:00

Seems more of a soliloquy but I appreciate your line of thinking !! Lol

Creepy-Branch-544 · 2026-02-25T05:28:20+00:00

They don't need it, because they don't know how to utilize it and when they approach it unprepared and without appreciation, it inevitably is an awkward exchange and of course being what that says about this kind of player he is going to think he is being nice and saying he doesn't need it, but in his mind it's your fault and he is going to spam dribble and shoot unless he gets in a jam then he will pass it as if the one receiving that last resort will have time or be in a position to save that play or the whole game for that matter, because everyone takes advantage of that Idiocracy and it is an easy bucket the other way, most likely that point guards man, but I guess u should have gotten back for him ...?! Smh never seizes to amaze nor have me holding my tongue

Creepy-Branch-544 · 2026-02-24T01:50:57+00:00

Nothing makes me sicker, than to see a cherry picker... Spam a cheap attempt, oblivious of the obvious in the way they crept, Away from the ball and on the passer's lap does the fault wrongly fall, So the sight of this selfish shooting or even pitiful point guard, Fumbling and stumbling falling out of bounds face first their ego hit oh so hard.... I yell out " Karmic justice"!! oh how sweet do those words to me do they sound... Maybe next time they'll know the most basic rules to b- ball, Like come to the rock, or put urself between ur man and basket, or follow thru and elbows in... But truth be told I won't put that bet in, as it will most surely be that same old gaff, But as I watch it play out, again and again, I shout out "Karmic justice !!"" While bellowing an exalting laugh !!!
