There are a lot of different categories and possible combinations, so let\u2019s try and build the ultimate crossover machine. Dribble moves are a small part of NBA 2K25\u2019s arsenal of animations, and yet there are dozens of various moves to choose from. Everything from your player\u2019s stance to the way they dribble the ball down the court, to the flashy crossovers can be customized. At first glance, this all may seem like a purely visual concept, but those with MyCAREER experience know optimizing your MyPLAYER\u2019s dribble moves is crucial to beating your defender. We'll go through all 12 categories and tell you which are the best dribble moves in each. We will split our recommendations between smaller guards under 6-feet-5-inches tall and taller playmakers between 6-feet-5-inches and 6-feet-9-inches. Big men options are very limited and even non-existent in some categories, so you won\u2019t have much to pick from if you\u2019re going for a point center build. Best dribble moves for players under 6-feet-5-inches in NBA 2K25 Dribble style - Russell Westbrook Westbrook\u2019s trademark explosiveness is evident in his dribble style, but he also has some low-bounce stances that will make steal chasers\u2019 lives much harder. Size-up - Trae Young Trae\u2019s size-up moves are almost nauseating, which is a good effect to instill on the opposing defenders. Young\u2019s dribble moves have some of the highest requirements, and once you\u2019ve tried them, you\u2019ll know why. Regular Breakdowns - Isaiah Thomas You don\u2019t score 29 points a game for an entire NBA season at just 5-feet-9-inches without some crafty dribble moves. Isaiah\u2019s regular breakdown stands out from the bunch by opening up a lot of space to the side that can seamlessly morph into paint penetration, a jump shot, or a pass. Aggressive Breakdowns - Darius Garland Darius Garland can go a little under the radar as a dribbler, but we\u2019ll give him his shine. His aggressive breakdown goes straight at the defender, ready to shift gears at a moment\u2019s notice. Escape Moves - Darius Garland We\u2019re sticking with Garland for our escape moves. You want to be nimble in all directions and Garland\u2019s arsenal of evades will always keep you a safe distance from the defender. Combo Moves - Ja Morant Ja\u2019s combo moves are tailor made for scoring in transition and are almost a cheat code in that scenario. Considering that\u2019s the best use for combo moves, this is an easy recommendation. Crossovers - Chris Paul Chris Paul\u2019s crossovers work similarly to Isaiah Thomas\u2019 regular breakdowns in that they create more separation due to the players\u2019 small stature. Having these moves without the limitations of being under six feet tall is a chance you shouldn\u2019t miss. Behind the Back - Kyrie Irving We couldn\u2019t justify making a list of the best dribble moves in NBA 2K25 without including Kyrie. He\u2019s not here simply off of his name, though. Irving\u2019s behind the back moves can eliminate defenders or set you up for a clear shot at will, as long as your timing\u2019s right. Spins - Ja Morant Quickness is the name of the game with spin moves and who\u2019s quicker than Ja Morant? Of course, you need to have the agility stats yourself to maximize this animation, but once you\u2019re there, you\u2019ll be like a fast-spinning ferris wheel out there. Hesitations - Stephen Curry You only need to try out Steph Curry\u2019s hesitations in NBA 2K25 to realize how crucial they are to his scoring prowess. Separation will become your middle name with this set of dribble moves.\u00a0 Stepbacks - Trae Young We complete our small build of dribble moves with the small magician himself, Trae Young. His stepbacks have been straight fire in NBA 2K games for years, and they don\u2019t disappoint in 2K25 either\u2014blink and you\u2019ve already been scored on. Triple Threat Style - Michael Jordan Some will say that your triple threat style doesn\u2019t really matter, and honestly, they\u2019re kind of right. So why not get the goat\u2019s moves? No need to argue, LeBron is also an option, so if that\u2019s your interpretation, you can go with him. There are no height limitations for triple threats, just do what you want here. Best dribble moves for players between 6-feet-5-inches and 6-feet-9-inches in NBA 2K25 Dribble Style - Jalen Green Green\u2019s nimble dribble style feels very smooth in transition, reflecting his youthful athleticism in real life. Recommended for quick builds who like to push the ball at all times. Size-up - Kevin Durant Durant\u2019s lean stature means his size-up move swings wide, which is amazing for opening up pull-up opportunities, KD\u2019s signature shot. This dribble move can score buckets on its own in NBA 2K25. Regular Breakdowns - Jaylen Brown For someone who was mocked for not being able to dribble with his left hand, NBA champion Jaylen Brown has some decent dribble moves in NBA 2K25. Case in point, his regular breakdown is explosive and keeps the ball low to the ground, a deadly mix if we\u2019ve ever seen one. Aggressive Breakdowns - Kobe Bryant The late great Kobe Bryant\u2019s aggressive breakdown is arguably the most unique one, because it moves back instead of forward. This makes the defender question what\u2019s your next move, giving you the chance to shoot or penetrate as soon as they let their guard down. Escape Moves - Zach LaVine LaVine\u2019s body movement during escape moves can be very deceiving to the eye, almost unnatural. It\u2019s harder to predict unnatural, so expect to see a lot of space by equipping LaVine\u2019s escape moves package to your MyPLAYER. Combo Moves - Zach LaVine Another way to utilize Zach LaVine\u2019s bag of tricks is via his combo moves. This is as quick and varied as it gets at this height. Do you need any more convincing? Crossovers - Jimmy Butler Jimmy is known for getting buckets and not necessarily for his dribbling, but this crossover feels way too good for the low requirements it has. It\u2019s basically Kobe\u2019s crossover, but only needs 70 ball handling to equip. Behind the Back - Paul George PG\u2019s behind the back dribbles have a wide sweeping motion that can freeze the defender two feet away from you, giving you a split second decision on whether to shoot, penetrate, pass, or continue playing with your prey. Spins - LaMelo Ball As we said earlier, spin moves are all about how fast you can go. LaMello Ball\u2019s guard-like frame makes him quicker than most players 6-feet-5-inches and above, and if you develop your MyPLAYER right, you\u2019ll be spinning right round, like a record, baby all over the court. Hesitations - Kobe Bryant What\u2019s with all-time great scorers and hesitations? We\u2019re seeing a connection there, so if you\u2019re an NBA hopeful, you might want to train some hesitation moves. Where were we? Ah, yes, Kobe\u2019s dribble moves are very, very good in NBA 2K25. Stepbacks

There are a lot of different categories and possible combinations, so let\u2019s try and build the ultimate crossover machine. Dribble moves are a small part of NBA 2K25\u2019s arsenal of animations, and yet there are dozens of various moves to choose from. Everything from your player\u2019s stance to the way they dribble the ball down the court, to the flashy crossovers can be customized. At first glance, this all may seem like a purely visual concept, but those with MyCAREER experience know optimizing your MyPLAYER\u2019s dribble moves is crucial to beating your defender. We'll go through all 12 categories and tell you which are the best dribble moves in each. We will split our recommendations between smaller guards under 6-feet-5-inches tall and taller playmakers between 6-feet-5-inches and 6-feet-9-inches. Big men options are very limited and even non-existent in some categories, so you won\u2019t have much to pick from if you\u2019re going for a point center build. Best dribble moves for players under 6-feet-5-inches in NBA 2K25 Dribble style - Russell Westbrook Westbrook\u2019s trademark explosiveness is evident in his dribble style, but he also has some low-bounce stances that will make steal chasers\u2019 lives much harder. Size-up - Trae Young Trae\u2019s size-up moves are almost nauseating, which is a good effect to instill on the opposing defenders. Young\u2019s dribble moves have some of the highest requirements, and once you\u2019ve tried them, you\u2019ll know why. Regular Breakdowns - Isaiah Thomas You don\u2019t score 29 points a game for an entire NBA season at just 5-feet-9-inches without some crafty dribble moves. Isaiah\u2019s regular breakdown stands out from the bunch by opening up a lot of space to the side that can seamlessly morph into paint penetration, a jump shot, or a pass. Aggressive Breakdowns - Darius Garland Darius Garland can go a little under the radar as a dribbler, but we\u2019ll give him his shine. His aggressive breakdown goes straight at the defender, ready to shift gears at a moment\u2019s notice. Escape Moves - Darius Garland We\u2019re sticking with Garland for our escape moves. You want to be nimble in all directions and Garland\u2019s arsenal of evades will always keep you a safe distance from the defender. Combo Moves - Ja Morant Ja\u2019s combo moves are tailor made for scoring in transition and are almost a cheat code in that scenario. Considering that\u2019s the best use for combo moves, this is an easy recommendation. Crossovers - Chris Paul Chris Paul\u2019s crossovers work similarly to Isaiah Thomas\u2019 regular breakdowns in that they create more separation due to the players\u2019 small stature. Having these moves without the limitations of being under six feet tall is a chance you shouldn\u2019t miss. Behind the Back - Kyrie Irving We couldn\u2019t justify making a list of the best dribble moves in NBA 2K25 without including Kyrie. He\u2019s not here simply off of his name, though. Irving\u2019s behind the back moves can eliminate defenders or set you up for a clear shot at will, as long as your timing\u2019s right. Spins - Ja Morant Quickness is the name of the game with spin moves and who\u2019s quicker than Ja Morant? Of course, you need to have the agility stats yourself to maximize this animation, but once you\u2019re there, you\u2019ll be like a fast-spinning ferris wheel out there. Hesitations - Stephen Curry You only need to try out Steph Curry\u2019s hesitations in NBA 2K25 to realize how crucial they are to his scoring prowess. Separation will become your middle name with this set of dribble moves.\u00a0 Stepbacks - Trae Young We complete our small build of dribble moves with the small magician himself, Trae Young. His stepbacks have been straight fire in NBA 2K games for years, and they don\u2019t disappoint in 2K25 either\u2014blink and you\u2019ve already been scored on. Triple Threat Style - Michael Jordan Some will say that your triple threat style doesn\u2019t really matter, and honestly, they\u2019re kind of right. So why not get the goat\u2019s moves? No need to argue, LeBron is also an option, so if that\u2019s your interpretation, you can go with him. There are no height limitations for triple threats, just do what you want here. Best dribble moves for players between 6-feet-5-inches and 6-feet-9-inches in NBA 2K25 Dribble Style - Jalen Green Green\u2019s nimble dribble style feels very smooth in transition, reflecting his youthful athleticism in real life. Recommended for quick builds who like to push the ball at all times. Size-up - Kevin Durant Durant\u2019s lean stature means his size-up move swings wide, which is amazing for opening up pull-up opportunities, KD\u2019s signature shot. This dribble move can score buckets on its own in NBA 2K25. Regular Breakdowns - Jaylen Brown For someone who was mocked for not being able to dribble with his left hand, NBA champion Jaylen Brown has some decent dribble moves in NBA 2K25. Case in point, his regular breakdown is explosive and keeps the ball low to the ground, a deadly mix if we\u2019ve ever seen one. Aggressive Breakdowns - Kobe Bryant The late great Kobe Bryant\u2019s aggressive breakdown is arguably the most unique one, because it moves back instead of forward. This makes the defender question what\u2019s your next move, giving you the chance to shoot or penetrate as soon as they let their guard down. Escape Moves - Zach LaVine LaVine\u2019s body movement during escape moves can be very deceiving to the eye, almost unnatural. It\u2019s harder to predict unnatural, so expect to see a lot of space by equipping LaVine\u2019s escape moves package to your MyPLAYER. Combo Moves - Zach LaVine Another way to utilize Zach LaVine\u2019s bag of tricks is via his combo moves. This is as quick and varied as it gets at this height. Do you need any more convincing? Crossovers - Jimmy Butler Jimmy is known for getting buckets and not necessarily for his dribbling, but this crossover feels way too good for the low requirements it has. It\u2019s basically Kobe\u2019s crossover, but only needs 70 ball handling to equip. Behind the Back - Paul George PG\u2019s behind the back dribbles have a wide sweeping motion that can freeze the defender two feet away from you, giving you a split second decision on whether to shoot, penetrate, pass, or continue playing with your prey. Spins - LaMelo Ball As we said earlier, spin moves are all about how fast you can go. LaMello Ball\u2019s guard-like frame makes him quicker than most players 6-feet-5-inches and above, and if you develop your MyPLAYER right, you\u2019ll be spinning right round, like a record, baby all over the court. Hesitations - Kobe Bryant What\u2019s with all-time great scorers and hesitations? We\u2019re seeing a connection there, so if you\u2019re an NBA hopeful, you might want to train some hesitation moves. Where were we? Ah, yes, Kobe\u2019s dribble moves are very, very good in NBA 2K25. Stepbacks
