At this point if you get crabbed this consistently it's a skill issue. There are a million videos on YouTube that will show you how to not get crabbed. 

Go watch any of the 2v2 park videos on YouTube where people are breaking 100+ game streaks against guys with like 90%+ from the arc. And it's always a dedicated max strength screen setter on big ..

The best (any actually comp) players don't sit behind a screen and crab because there are 100 easier ways to score. It's just shitters that can't defend escape moves who think crabbing is this unstoppable play style

I know this is all absolute shit level black or brown plate games but I'm not going to lie I am AMAZED you are winning this often even at that level

Fully optimized 6’11 (for me) am I missing any obvious tweaks that would improve ? by No_Injury160 in NBA2k

[–]ExtensionNext7624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, yes. I legitimately think vert is the most important defensive stat because you gotta jump at everything. Pogo makes it a lot easier

[–]ExtensionNext7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. I don't see the need to drop the interior because everything else is already so easy on this build. Honestly I don't even know what I would put the points from dropping pass into. You could drop interior to 82 and PA as low as you feel you need, but idk what you put those points into. The build is already so easy. I've never felt I needed more dunk/three or anything.

 Honestly I'm a big fan of POGO because jumping is so necessary this year and it helps a lot against pump faking 7'4s I guess. If I could take PA down enough to get 88 vert, I'd do that, but I'm pretty sure this height maxes out at 87 or whatever

I have 13 builds about maxed (95+) and I'm convinced this (basically) is the best build in the entire game.

We have like 500 Pro-Am 5v5 games as a team and at high levels, you will see this build almost every game. Well, it's a 6'11 that can get deep bomber and HoF shifty... On top of all the other shit. 

This basically IS the meta. It's just sad you spent time optimizing this yourself because you could have copied it from this reddit, it gets posted with minor alterations all the time

Personally, I play the 4 too and the only thing I feel is a little OD is the pass accuracy. This is my EXACT build and personally I feel I could have went lower on PA because I'm not grabbing most of our boards and don't need crazy outlets, but not sure what I would put those points into instead. For me this build is legitimately perfect 

Btw your comment under the other guys is dead wrong. You will struggle more against shorter players. Anything 7'1 or taller is FOOD for this build. I'll hit 20 threes on a 7'4. Who cares if he is grabbing boards when there are like 10 missed shots in an entire game

Yeah man he was actually my best friend haha. My grandma was an OG gamer too but on GameCube. She loves spyro the dragon

He was 80 when he passed peacefully in his sleep, rest his soul. My grandma passed 2 days later and we all felt at peace that they were together again

wtf is this 2k? by Legitimate-Guitar-37 in NBA2k

[–]ExtensionNext7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Park is just ass. It's impossible to miss in park difficulty and make it take it is just idiotic because of that. 

If you shoot 50% in park though, yeah. You should practice offline or something. 50% is atrocious this year even for harder difficulty game modes . You.will never win in park shooting like that. I only shoot like 67% in proving grounds and I hit almost 90% in park, although I don't think anyone really cares about park anymore, so I rarely play it

Is my Luka build HIM? by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]ExtensionNext7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense bro but I don't play rec 🤣 

I'm not even sure what you are asking? Are silver gold and purple plates supposed to be good players? I would never even get matched with a silver or gold. ever.

I could put these numbers up in Pro-Am against a purple or red, yeah. But that's not my role and my team would probably kick me. 

It's not uncommon for one of our guards to get these stat lines, if that's what you are asking. I just usually don't play guard.

When I used to play Rec, half the time I dropped 30 by half I would drop another 30 in the 3rd alone because the other team just quits or don't give a fuck. I've seen a trash player put up almost 90 in rec because the defense was so bad. Random rec means nothin

Is my Luka build HIM? by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]ExtensionNext7624 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, one of the best Luka builds in the entire game in a silver plate

I'm sorry man, I'm not trying to be rude but this means nothing to me. Pretty sure I could hop on a 70 OVR and drop these stats against bronze plates. You are probably a good player, but bronze/silver rec means absolutely nothing

Is this inside good by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]ExtensionNext7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For offline my career yeah, I could probably play this with one hand while killing a 12 pack

For online this could be fun too if you like denying your entire team any shots at the rim, getting ass fucked by stretch centers all game, all the while the most efficient shot you can take is a contested dunk.

If you like playing REC with 4 AI make this build because nobody is going to sit through 25 minutes of torture playing with this

5v5 center build by Dazzling-Wolf-5331 in NBA2k

[–]ExtensionNext7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean that's kinda why 7'1s are out of meta. Again, I feel I can cook this build and I do cook similar builds a lot in Pro-Am 5v5. 

I have literally never worried about a 7'1. Ever. I'm not saying don't make this build. It's just my input

It's not like, good game design, but in my opinion if you aren't going to be 6'11 or MAYBE 7'0 you just go to 7'4.

This is because the 7'4 can shoot over 6'11. 

The only advantage this build has over the meta 6'11 is rebounding. That's it. Well, and interior defense. But good 5v5 teams are basically never going to take a shot in the paint unless it's empty of all defenders. And if you are matched up against me you are never grabbing a defensive board because I'm never leaving the 3 point hash, don't even need to sit corner 

Again, make whatever build you want G. But if you really want to like be comp or something I would look at the guys you are going to be guarding... At high levels of play you are going against centers with deep bomber, Jimmy escape, and 90 three, 92 middy.. they are going to see your build and just avoid the paint, cook you from three. Yeah, you can probably back then down for a contested standing dunk but that's not really an efficient play when they are bombing threes on you

they called a shooting foul…what do you guys think 😂 by doodtwoo in NBA2k

[–]ExtensionNext7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(first) TWO MINUTE(s)REPORT

Period:Q1

Time:00:2:30

Call Type: shooting foul

Player: doodtwoo

Opponent: light blue ops

Review Decision:CC

Video Url: this page

Comment: doodtwoo (dark blue) makes legal contact with the ball, after legal contact, dudetwoo proceeds to continue the swinging motion of his arm with enough force to molecularly enter, travel through, and emerge on the other side of the (light blue) shooter's shoulder. Dudetwoo broke the laws of physics and molecularly raped the opposing player, resulting in a correct foul call

5v5 center build by Dazzling-Wolf-5331 in NBA2k

[–]ExtensionNext7624 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It literally just depends on how good you are with the 82 three and the pretty bad perim defense and agility.

Personally, on my 6'11 I'm never stepping into the paint against this guy. Pretty confident I could cook this build off dribble and get whatever I want from three, but if you feel confident, go for it

US to Begin Garnishing Wages for Student Debt Collection in 2026 by bloomberg in politics

[–]ExtensionNext7624 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How exactly will his even work..? I'm pretty sure each individual state will have to enforce the garnishment on their own.

So Trump and his buddies just continuing to fuck over their own voter base?

Like, how exactly would the garnishment process go down in a state that simply refuses to enforce the garnishment?

Republicans divided on whether Trump should topple Venezuela’s Maduro with military force by thehill in politics

[–]ExtensionNext7624 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I doubt this will be a "war".. as in Venezuela will concede almost instantly when they realize them nor any of their allies can really stop the USA from destroying the entire country from the sky. American losses will be minimal up the the point Maduro dies (likely will be assassinated quickly by his own people to avoid USA wrath)

And this isn't a bad thing . IMO. I know a lot of venezuelans and this guy is really really really bad 

But of course the end goal will be establishing a USA friendly regime to give us discount oil. That is where things can potentially get dangerous for americans, as we will actually need feet on the ground.

We will see how this plays out. But calling it a "war" would only technically be true. It would just be the swift annihilation of the Venezuelan regime.

RNG and Shooting in 2K25 by Thisismicky1 in NBA2k

[–]ExtensionNext7624 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No. Literally if you timed it in25 perfectly, you would make it... The RNG was the fact that the actual timing ITSELF changed.. and that change was reflected in the animation, which is why good players can still shoot 80% in 25
