How to Shoot a Bank Shot in NBA 2K23
Note: The bank shot in NBA 2K23 is location-dependent. Baseline, 3-point, and straight-on attempts will not trigger a bank shot.
- Position your player in the mid-range area at about a 45-degree angle from the hoop (or anywhere on the court where it’s not on the baseline, 3 PT, or a completely straight-on shot).
- Once there, hold the Right Stick Up and then release at the peak of the shot to do a regular bank shot. You can also hold RT / R2 + Right Stick Up to do a step forward + bank shot.
That’s it!
