[Top 10] NBA 2k14 Best Jump Shots of All Time
There are pretty much surefire things you’ll be doing when playing a 2k basketball game. Pass, rebound, block, layup, dunk and the most important thing you’ll do (Unless you have a paint beast, big man) is shoot jump shots. Animations can make a big difference when shooting jump shots, and here are the best animations to guarantee the best timings, fast release and little to no blocked jumpers.
10. Carmelo Anthony’s Jump Shot
Chuck up shots just like Melo
The standard Melo jump shot is natural, like Carmelo’s IRL jump shot. It’s fast and can be pretty tricky to time, but like Melo, when it’s falling, it’s falling, and if it’s cold, it’s hard.
9.Ray Allen’s Jump Shot
Raining 3-pointers like your Jesus Shuttlesworth himself
Ray Allen is the textbook; a clean jump shot and making your 2k character use the same type is guaranteed to make the jumpers fall. It's nowhere near the fastest, and timing can still be iffy, but if you want an excellent jumper, that's guaranteed to go in using this.
8. Kevin Durant’s Jump Shot
Almost unblockable, just like KD in real life.
The Kevin Durant jump shot is a weird jumper; even a standard jump shot is like a fadeaway. The shot leans back a bit, making it hard to block, making it perfect for the pull-up jumper. The jump shot is a bit wonky on timing but still consistent when paired with the ratings and, more importantly, paired with the badges.
7. Paul George’s Jump Shot
Underrated like Paul George in real life.
This Jumpshot isn’t super fast but greening with it is so good and easy. PG’s jump shot is a clean one that is a low-to-the-ground jumper making time super easy. It's incredibly balanced and best suited for open three catch and shoots.
6. Jeremy Lin’s Jump Shot (AKA Release 73 + Jumpshot 40)
Consistency is key.
When it comes to jump shot animations and jump shots in general, you need one thing to reign true 99% of the time; you need your jump shot to be reliable. The Jeremy Lin Jumpshot AKA Release 73 and Jump Shot 40 is a goated one that is not only completely free but also a reliable motion that's not too fast and slow. The animation consistency gets Jeremy Lin hot shooting even with his 70-range jump shot ratings.
5.Steph Curry’s Jump Shot
Shoot like the best shooter of all time (Yes, there is no debate.)
You can shoot like the best, especially when you're working with the same jump shot as the best. Curry’s jump shot is a fast low to the, ground jumper that is very consistent. Ironically, the in-game jump shot is slower than the IRL version, but this jump shot is still constant and what you’ll want to use for raining down deep bombs, especially when paired with jump shot boost badges.
4. Al Harrington Jumpshot (AKA Jumpshot 22 + Jumpshot 1)
NBA Stars aren't the only ones who have wet jumpers
The Release 22 and Jumpshot 1 jump shot is an excellent, underrated shot. It has a high release; it's fast and easy to green. You may not know who Al Harrington is, but there's a reason he’s one of the best stretch 4’s in the game. It’s just to show that you don’t need a flashy recognizable jumper to get good jump shots, especially in this game.
3.Kobe Bryant’s Jump Shot
Mamba Mentality = One of The Best Player Jump shot
Kobe Bryant is a goat at almost everything scoring-related. Fadeaway, post moves, triple threats and this jumper is no exception. Kobe’s Jumpshot is smooth, perfect for excellent releases, High releases, and from mid and long-range. Kobe’s jump shot is reliable just as it was in real life and is a weapon for domination.
2.CP3 + Set Shot 4
This hybrid jump shot is built differently. The Cp3 jump shot is already a consistent beast just like CP3 but paired with the low and easy-to-green nature of set shot 4, this has become the most precise shot to green with. This is also the Shot that Klay Thompson uses, and he is the perfect example of overalls not being the end-all-be-all of a good player. Simply put, this is a clean jump shot that is highly reliable at getting excellent releases
1.Release 27 + Jump Shot 8
Every single best thing about a jumpshot cranked to 11
This jump shot may feel like a completely out of nowhere pick but trust me when I say this is a good one. This jumper is a quick jump shot with the legs flying out, and the height you reach is insane, making it almost unblockable;e no matter what. It’s also not a difficult release to get down, even though it's so quick. It’s elegant, sharp, high, free, and an absolute straight jumper that, as soon as you get the timing, is the best jump shot in 2k14.
