Man I've been dreaming of videos like these since your Luka vids in 2K22. A logic and systems to build on rather than spamming and cutting corners. So glad to see you fully invested in the creative possibilities of the MyPlayer mode. Super inspiring to watch. It's content creators like you and a handful of others who truly showcase how rich and layered 2K's gameplay can be, how much it has to offer in terms of player expression. Love your channel and your approach to the game.
Thank you! This is literally exactly what i needed, I've been playing my team since last season and been stacking my vc for myplayer, this came just in time as i just started my career this week
Nah Fr I just started using his hop jumpers a few days ago, you can a nasty step back to the right or sidestep to the left if you combo it right with dribbles/ breakdown combos
@@HawksHoops same I tried a lot day one but his just felt so natural with my 6’5 Shot Creating 3-Level Threat especially since I got a dribble style and sigs I put on at times to replicate the go to shot. 6’5s can’t get super aggressive animations 😂😂 but you can get a bit glitchy not as much as day one tho The key to dribbling glitchy on tall guard builds this year is having the right sigs, using the RS combos & RS Aggressive Escapes while using LS at the right time and angles, you will be able to break certain animations quicker knowing the right angles, L2 and Dribble Emote or ⬅️
Hey Kev thanks for the guide. I've been experimenting with 6'6 builds as well, but you always have the best takes on the matter. I found that the Rui Hachimura Go to Shot give you this quick dribble that ties well into any breakdown/aggressive breakdown combo. If you follow through with the shot animation you will mostly catch the defender with they're hands down. It also operates as a hesi. Pairs well with the JT Aggressive Breakdown and the Klay Thompson Aggressive Breakdown. Check it out and let me know your opinion!
Thank you! Currently working on this Big Guard build for sure! Beyond that, I don't know yet! But I don't have a Center in my rotation or a lock, maybe those might be my last builds for 25 and just try to rotate and use cap breakers to make the most out of my current builds!
I was hoping to get some secret Luka dribble style sauce in here. But I too added Klay aggressive combo into my Luka breakdown, the flow with the pace in his style works well
To be fair it’s been the best big guard hop jumper for a while now! There are situationally some great alternatives, but with cancelling it really takes it over the top!
Chef Kev! How can I reach out to you personally? I matched up with someone yesterday doing a push cross, just thought you might know the sauce on that move
Where you been my friend 😂😂 I been waiting for this I been using a few things from 24 shot creation videos All I need now is SGA animations before season 8 Kobe dribble pull up(my personal) is rep locked and you need at least a 92 middy or 3 ball Kev you just made it unfair for anyone trying to guard my 6’5 and I already got a deep bag and I unlocked the Murray dribble style season one with the moonwalk Scary times 😈
The Zach attack always one of my favorites bro!! Should give it a shot too! Lavine, Tatum, Jalen Green, Huerter, even something like a Keegan Murray are some of my favorite alternatives for stepback jumpers for 6'5 and up builds!
I got a video on this coming up, but it seems like its been buffed by a lot so any extension of the arms is what you want to look at. If the arm gets extended to the point of near release you should be finr
Idk Murray is slept on but Booker got a gang of great animations for big guards His crossover is actually Meta 😂I can’t gate keep His aggressive breakdown is Meta as well because of the aggressive crab
@@chrisinhuman3 i didn’t try his crossover but his dribble style is my second favorite and I might as well not gate keep his aggressive breakdowns. It has multiple options to shoot off and combo with
Devin booker hop jumper is hard to fucking time I can’t find a visual cue even when I use rhythm shooter 92 middy 83 3pt rating I can green Kobe hop jumper but d book hop jumper hard asf to time? smh
@@foreverlitt4596 its all in the release and cue... I find it better to find a release where the player’s set point is at the top of his head. I'll admit that does take some practice to get down
Please we need a SGA/Luka like build , a middy/driving magician point guard I don’t know how to do it so I’m kinda waiting on you ahah I’m tired of playing on my small guard
THANK U CRUZ Also plz Cruz if u have any secret gems for kyrie sigs release em I been tryna use his sigs online nd I see potential but im still lost 🤦🏽♂️
I was today years old when I found the game is different on different systems 😂 some of the moves u do just aren’t available on Xbox one and PlayStation 4 don’t get me wrong all your concepts work but as for the game it self some moves just can’t be done for example there on Xbox curry doesn’t do that step back like that at all. It sucks but it is what it is
You guys say the same thing every year. Had a similar system in 2K24 and I did pretty well against anybody. I’m not bad at the game, so stuff you can’t do, I can definitely do well against good defenders. Just because you can’t, doesn’t mean I can’t. th-cam.com/video/OcRxKMLUzj4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dglyRXygc4084jFI
Maybe that’s stopped you from doing fun stuff in the game but it hasn’t stopped me in 2K25. The Devin Booker hop jumpers are one of the best moves in the game. By itself it torches defenses, add different setups and learn how to cancel and you’re pretty much unstoppable
I mean if you cared to watch the video of a similar style i showed for 24 you’re gonna see that I don’t dribble much to kill defenses with the devin booker shot creation tools.
@ again, might work in rec against Bad opponents, Not in pro am or Even semi serious squad rec. Its a nice playstyle and it looks cool, But Its sadly Not efficient

Thank you man, this is exactly the goal of this channel and it’s always appreciated when people take the time to notice and show appreciation!
Couldn't have said it better k cruz is the best in the business 👏
Always a good day when KC drops a banger video
Appreciate you always my guy!
Thank you! This is literally exactly what i needed, I've been playing my team since last season and been stacking my vc for myplayer, this came just in time as i just started my career this week
Watch his shot creation video from 24 and cook up
#BigGuardGang
These moves got hella flow. Preciate ya Cruz 💪🏾😤
He giving out my whole bag 😂😂
I torch 99 prem/steal builds with d book hop jumpers. No matter what d you have it gets open.
This is one of the best tutorial uve ever watch
Thank you bro!
@KevinCruz016 build please for 6'9 please.more love here in ph.
Much needed for my 6’8” wing. Thank you!
kevin huerter hop jumper is so slept on if ur going to the right and hold the right stick to the left u get the nastiest space creating shot
😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️ I been using it since forever but I won’t gate keep try his go-to shot
Thank me later

Man, let me tell you guys, the Kevin Huerter shot creation sauce is mad underrated!
thank you brodie! 2klabs never show us big guards love with animations ... thank u for ur videos keep it up
Appreciate you broski!

What camera angle are you playing on? I appreciate the videos bro, they streamline learning the mechanics of the game.
2K cam, 6 zoom and 6 height! Thank you bro!
I like these. I was blabbing these combinations with the Paul George hop jumper and go to shots. Man it’s 🔥🔥🔥
Lets gooooooooo!!!
Great video as always! Plan on dropping any more build videos?
Thank you! Currently working on this Big Guard build for sure! Beyond that, I don't know yet! But I don't have a Center in my rotation or a lock, maybe those might be my last builds for 25 and just try to rotate and use cap breakers to make the most out of my current builds!
@ that’s awesome! It would be super cool to see how you build a center!
I was hoping to get some secret Luka dribble style sauce in here.
But I too added Klay aggressive combo into my Luka breakdown, the flow with the pace in his style works well
I’m trying to get a Luka and Book specific tutorial out! But i need to do the big guard series videos done first bro!
@@KevinCruz016Sauce takes time this I know!
@@RsAii try Klay regular breakdown and Luka aggressive breakdown they pair well off each other and flow seamlessly together
Ion play 2k like that anymore but I still love your videos ❤
I been using d book since 2023. Now because Kevin said it that’s all I’ll see in the rec now
To be fair it’s been the best big guard hop jumper for a while now! There are situationally some great alternatives, but with cancelling it really takes it over the top!
as soon as I saw the title I KNEW this was gonna be based off Bookers hops jumpers lol
Lmao that’s a sign of a man who has been following this channel for a while!
@@KevinCruz016 facts haha keep up the great work your channel has helped me get alot better !
Boom boom boom - love it chef.
You know we are in that flow state when we do the boom booms!
I think this, game is a true game and fun, to see the graphics. This, game is the best.
Chef Kev! How can I reach out to you personally? I matched up with someone yesterday doing a push cross, just thought you might know the sauce on that move
Can you give me a follow on twitter? Then send me the DM broski!
Where you been my friend 😂😂
I been waiting for this I been using a few things from 24 shot creation videos
All I need now is SGA animations before season 8
Kobe dribble pull up(my personal) is rep locked and you need at least a 92 middy or 3 ball
Kev you just made it unfair for anyone trying to guard my 6’5 and I already got a deep bag and I unlocked the Murray dribble style season one with the moonwalk
Scary times 😈
Man its been a busy few months bro, so I have been behind on content! But slowly building back up!
@@KevinCruz016 i already know you deserved a break glad you didn’t forget about the big guards
Should i attempt to make my paul george build at 6'7" for d book dribble style?
The D-Book stepback, IYKYK
🤫
We’ve been here for a few years now!! Lets go!!!!
Aye Kevin how about devin Booker layup package the floaters
Those have been nerfed man, and you’re more likely to get the troll animation for the slow floater unless you launch a floater in a very specific way.
@KevinCruz016 so what layup package has fast floaters for 6'5-6'9. Do you have any ideas.
If you put d book on a pf/c, the guards will switch on the on to you. Bigs have 0 chance to stop it
I think Dbook pull up is Pro2 and Kobe is unlocked on starter 4 not sure if 4 or 3
yo Kev button or Rhythm which more consistent now?
Finally the video for me
Cruz what's your jump shot?
Yooo steph curry triple threat launches tutorial and zion williamson lay up package activation 💪🏽🐐🙏🏽
Amazing content! , thank you so much
Thank you bro!
Please do you a video on your online play in the rec with the layup (physical finisher)
Probably with this build, but might take some time! I have online footage but on Play Now Online so far!
@ ok no worries. Obviously if there is a follow up video down the track that would be great.
Let me see you cook with the Zach Lavigne hop jumper Cruz!
Lavine*
The Zach attack always one of my favorites bro!! Should give it a shot too!
Lavine, Tatum, Jalen Green, Huerter, even something like a Keegan Murray are some of my favorite alternatives for stepback jumpers for 6'5 and up builds!
James harden same side launch is actually fire you just have to time it right
What are u looking at when u time your layups ?
I got a video on this coming up, but it seems like its been buffed by a lot so any extension of the arms is what you want to look at. If the arm gets extended to the point of near release you should be finr
D Book dribble style is cheating for tall guards 🔥
Idk Murray is slept on but Booker got a gang of great animations for big guards
His crossover is actually Meta 😂I can’t gate keep
His aggressive breakdown is Meta as well because of the aggressive crab
Coby White is also underrated. I was kinda surprised on how crisp his cross launch was.
@@chrisinhuman3 i didn’t try his crossover but his dribble style is my second favorite and I might as well not gate keep his aggressive breakdowns. It has multiple options to shoot off and combo with

what camera settings you are using?
2K cam - 6 zoom and 6 height
Can you please make an old man MJ guide?
Can we get a d book build 99 middy 😈 I would love to see what you chef up
Getting to 99 middy is tough! But I’m gonna at least get to 96 (with cap breakers!)
Please we need a SGA/Luka like build , a middy/driving magician point guard I don’t know how to do it so I’m kinda waiting on you ahah I’m tired of playing on my small guard
i like Rui hachimuras go to move, simple but smooth
That the sauce on my build i dnt miss either lol
Out of curiosity, why did you use Kobe Bryant motion style ?
No particular reason man, motion style is something I don’t put much stock in!
We were already up in those streets babe🔥😂😂🫡
yo boss kevs what is your jumpshot?
Kobe base, carmelo and ray allen uppers but still tweaking!
What about the dribble pull up
I have Klay on, but KD is pretty good as well. Tyler Herro is fine too, but I’m really waiting on SGA
Man I fucking love you, I needed this with my new 6'9 build, thank you
THANKS KEV!!!
I have a build I think you'd have a lot of fun on
Let's see it!
My perfect video 🎉
THANK U CRUZ
Also plz Cruz if u have any secret gems for kyrie sigs release em I been tryna use his sigs online nd I see potential but im still lost 🤦🏽♂️
Can we see the build?
Making some refinements and optimizing! It'll probably be ready for a build video by the weekend!
@ you goated Brodie! Why you making us wait so long lol 😆 we need it!!!!!!
Why not use the Lavine stepback? You only need 79
Everyone is using the Lavine stepback, but I really like the reset stepback that D Book gives. It allows you to cover so much distance
Kris Middleton spin jump
A good alternative imo!
I wish there was a way to rhythm shoot a step in shot after a pump fake
u literally can do this wym
@ how you do it cuz they keep making me fade stand still when I do or they make me just shoot a jumpshot
@ pump fake, then u gotta double tap the stick forward and then flick down to finish the animation/rhythm shot
@@sorari1245been waiting for this tip, thanks.
@@sorari1245 same thing for corner shots but you double tap the direction you tryna go for example right corner double tap to the left?

Been spoiled by Jayson Tatums hop jumper. As blasphemous as that sounds
For mid post, face up wings, still probably my favorite!
Kuyaaaaaaa

@ lmaooooo pansit dribble moves
