How to Alley Oop in NBA 2K22

by Falagar / Articles, Misc. Guides / 22 Jun 2020

In NBA 2K22, you may throw an alley-oop to a teammate who is either going towards the hoop or near the basket by double-tapping the Y (Xbox One & Series X | S) or Triangle (PS4 & PS5) button. Though it’s the same system as past years, you’ll need a clean route to throw and receive the ball to succeed. Teamwork, pinpoint passing, and timing are key aspects of the alley-oop, and you have a few alternatives for where you throw the ball.

To receive the pass, move the Left Stick in the direction of the player you want to pass to. You may even throw an alley-oop to yourself by pressing the Left Stick towards the hoop.

In 2 on 1 fast break situations where a player is cutting toward the basket without a defender near him, using an alley-oop is the best option. To execute it in these scenarios, double-tap Y (Xbox) or Triangle (PS) and direct the alley-oop using the Left Stick.
