Having so many jump shot options to choose from is a problem you want to have, but it also makes picking the best jump shot that much more difficult. That\u2019s where we step in. We played around with all sorts of combinations before coming up with the best jump shots in NBA 2K23 at every height. 2K Games has done away with generic numbered jumpers from years past. Now we have dozens of real-life players\u2019 jump shots to pick from instead. Which ones are the best? That depends on your MyPlayer\u2019s height. Jumpshot options are spread into three different categories: for players under 6 feet 5 inches tall, for players who land anywhere between 6 feet 5 inches tall and 6 feet 10 inches tall, and for players 6 feet 10 inches tall or higher. Options are limited to certain heights, so you can\u2019t attach a Steph Curry release to your 7 foot 2 inch center. The other important detail about NBA 2K23 jump shots you should know is the actual stats behind them and how they work. Your jumper has four main components that affect how it plays in-game: Release height (the height at which the player releases the shot)Release speed (how fast the player releases the shot)Defensive immunity (how much the player\u2019s shot accuracy is affected by defense)Timing impact (how much your timing of the release affects accuracy) You may find some of these criteria to be more important than others based on your playstyle, but you can pretty much max out all of them within a single setup, so no sacrifices are necessary. What are the best jump shots in NBA 2K23? We arrive at the meat of the process: choosing the best jump shot in NBA 2K23. It won\u2019t be as easy as picking Ben Simmons\u2019 release and moving on. There are several components to creating the perfect jump shot: Shot baseShot release 1Shot release 2Release speedAnimation blending All of them need to be addressed carefully if you want to end up with the best possible combination. Based on what we\u2019ve laid out so far, it\u2019s becoming clear that the best jump shots are different for different categories. We won\u2019t leave anyone hanging and will present the best jump shot option at each height. Best NBA 2K23 jump shot for players under 6 foot 5 inches Shot base - Stephen CurryShot release 1 - Oscar RobertsonShot release 2 - Steve KerrRelease speed - 25 percentAnimation blending - 93 percent Oscar Robertson Is it really any surprise that Stephen Curry\u2019s name immediately comes up in a best jump shot conversation? Is it any surprise that he wins that conversation? To be fair, we have to mix Steph with two other players, Oscar Robertson and Steph\u2019s coach Steve Kerr, to maximize this build. And what a build it is: maximum stats in every category and the undisputed best jump shot in NBA 2K23. Release height - A+Release speed - A+Defensive immunity - A+Timing impact - A+ Best NBA 2K23 jump shot for players 6 foot 5 inches to 6 foot 10 inches\u00a0 Shot base - Kobe BryantShot release 1 - Oscar RobertsonShot release 2 - Oscar RobertsonRelease speed - 100 percentAnimation blending -\u00a0 50 percent Robertson is a wanted man for NBA 2K23 jump shots. We rely on the old-timer again, but this time we\u2019re using Kobe Bryant\u2019s base and no Kerr. This combo maxes out three of the four categories while keeping the fourth in the green column. That's not bad for a player who's a few inches taller. Release height - A+Release speed - A+Defensive immunity - A+Timing impact - A- Best NBA 2K23 jump shot for players over 6 foot 10 inches Shot base - Kevin DurantShot release 1 - Dirk NowitzkiShot release 2 - Dirk NowitzkiRelease speed - 100 percentAnimation blending - 50 percent Big man jumpers are the hardest to reach a universal consensus on. We ended up settling for a Kevin Durant base and a Dirk Nowitzki release. That\u2019s right, we \u201csettled\u201d for two of the best shooters ever. You should too if you want that sweet jumper at 7 feet tall. Release height - A-Release speed - A+Defensive immunity - ATiming impact
