Yo, what's good everybody? NBA 2K25 is almost here, and you already know I'm bringing you the best tips to dominate the game. Enough of the chitty chat, though—let's get into the heat, y'all!

Top 5 Jump Shots in NBA 2K25 (From September to Now)

In this article, we’re going to break down the top 5 jump shots you need to know for NBA 2K25. We’re starting with number five and working our way down to the absolute best. Whether you’re running with a 6'6" guard or you’re more of a small guard player, these jump shots are going to have you greening from anywhere on the court. Let’s get into it!

5. Ben Sheppard Jump Shot

Best For: 6'6" to 6'8" Guards

The fifth-best jump shot in NBA 2K25 has to be the Ben Sheppard base. If you're running with a guard that's between 6'6" and 6'8", this is the jump shot that’s going to make you unstoppable on the court. Pair the Ben Sheppard base with Oscar Robertson for upper release one and Troy Brown for upper release two, and set that release speed to five out of five for maximum quickness.

This jump shot is all about consistency—every time I pull up with it, it's green bean chicken bean! It's smooth, it's fast, and it just feels right. It might remind you of the LaMelo Ball jump shot from NBA 2K23, but with a little extra sauce. If you’re looking for a reliable jumper that’s going to keep you in the game, this is the one.

Pro Tip: For the best results, use shot timing visual cue release—it’s going to make it even easier to time your shots perfectly.

4. Cameron Johnson Jump Shot

Best For: 6'6" Guards

Coming in at number four, we have the Cameron Johnson base. This jump shot is very similar to the Ben Sheppard jump shot but with a different base that offers a higher release, making it even harder to contest. The high jump allows you to get shots off over taller defenders, which is a game-changer in those tight matchups.

Combine Cameron Johnson’s base with Oscar Robertson and Troy Brown for the upper releases, with the animation blending set to 70% Oscar and 30% Troy. The release speed should be maxed out at five out of five to ensure you’re getting your shot off as quickly as possible.

This jump shot is as smooth as butter—you’ll find yourself greening consistently even with a slight mistime. It’s reliable and feels good whether you’re shooting in the Gatorade Facility or in-game. This jump shot is a must-try for any player looking to elevate their shooting game in NBA 2K25.

3. Stephen Curry Jump Shot

Best For: Small Guards

Now we're in the top three, and you already know we had to talk about the Stephen Curry base. This jump shot is perfect for small guards and has been one of the most consistent and reliable jump shots throughout the entire year. If you've been using this jump shot, you know it’s been clutch in every season.

Pair the Curry base with Darius Garland for upper release one and Luka Dončić for upper release two. The blend should be 60% Garland and 40% Luka, with a release speed of five out of five. This jump shot is lightning-fast, making it perfect for those quick pull-ups in tight situations.

The only downside? It can get contested a little too easily. You might be wide open, but if your defender jumps, it could turn into a 25% contest real quick. That said, if you’re open, this jump shot is money—it’s green bean chicken bean every single time. Just make sure you’re using our release timing to maximize your green window.

2. Tracy McGrady Jump Shot

Best For: 6'6" and Up Guards

The runner-up for the best jump shot in NBA 2K25 has to go to the Tracy McGrady base. This jump shot is almost perfect—it’s consistent, it doesn’t get contested easily, and it just feels smooth every time you release Square. If you’re running with a taller guard (6'6" and up), this is the jump shot you need to be using.

The ideal setup is to pair the Tracy McGrady base with Oscar Robertson for upper release one and Troy Brown for upper release two. Go with a 70/30 blend in favor of Oscar Robertson and max out the release speed to five out of five.

This jump shot is just green bean chicken bean all day. It’s the most consistent jump shot for taller guards and has been a go-to for players all year long. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re seriously missing out. Get in the lab, put this jump shot on, and thank me later.

1. Patty Mills Jump Shot

Best For: Superstar 3 Players

And here it is—the number one best jump shot in NBA 2K25, Patty Mills! This jump shot is only available to Superstar 3 players, so if you haven’t reached that level yet, you’re out of luck. But if you have, you’re in for a treat because this jump shot is green bean machino.

Start with the Patty Mills base and pair it with Oscar Robertson for both upper release one and two. Keep the animation blending at 100% because it’s the same release. The release speed should, of course, be five out of five. This jump shot is almost perfect—the grade is an A+, and it’s as close to perfection as you can get.

If you’re looking for some alternatives, try the following:

Patty Mills, Darius Garland, Tai Tai Washington: This setup has a blend of 69% Garland and 31% Tai Tai with a five-out-of-five release speed.

Patty Mills, Darius Garland, Trey Mann: Go with a 60/40 blend in favor of Garland for a slightly different feel.

This jump shot is absolutely money—if you’re open, you’re hitting it, no question. It’s been the best jump shot in the game all year and will continue to dominate until NBA 2K26 drops. If you’re a Superstar 3, put this jump shot on and watch your shooting percentage skyrocket.
