Best Dribble Moves in NBA 2K25

Dribble moves are perfect to create separation from a defender in NBA 2K25, giving players a wide-open shoot, opening a lane to the basket, and sometimes forcing an opponent to help out leaving a teammate wide-open.

Stringing together dribble moves can make a player almost indefensible, and if they're performed perfectly there is a good chance they break the opponents' ankles and create a highlight moment.

Dribble styles affect the way a player moves and can also provide a speed boost, making it much easier to get past opponents or create separation for a shot.

With dribble moves being such an important aspect of NBA 2K25, especially on MyCAREER and The City, it's crucial players know which are the best ones. However, similar to jumpshots, the best dribble moves vary from build to build, mostly because of players' heights.

A 7'0'' player won't be able to perform some dribbles a 6'2'' player will, as the latter is faster and more agile. But that doesn't mean there aren't good dribble moves for 7'0'' or even taller players.

When it comes to dribble styles and moves, speed with the ball and height are the two most important factors. The two are intertwined as the taller a player is the lower the max speed with the ball attribute cap is.

So players need to take into consideration these two things when choosing a dribble style or move. However, this is easier said than done as there are a plethora of dribble styles, which makes finding the best one for a specific build challenging.
