by Lordtoto01 / NBA 2K23, Articles / 26 Mar 2022

Basketball is a team sport. No matter how powerful your player is, they cannot outperform three defenders alone. Passing is a key winning strategy in NBA 2K23, and the lead to the basket pass is one of the fundamentals.

We have an advanced guide that can teach you some new moves and help you improve your passing game, but for now let’s just focus on the lead to basket pass.

HOW TO LEAD TO BASKET PASS

Press and hold Y or Triangle to get your receiver to cut to the basket, and finally release it to throw the pass. You can even aim the shot at a particular player by using the Left Stick.

You should only use the move when faced with a tight defense along the perimeter. You can also use it on fast breaks, but it might be difficult if the opponent is already expecting it.

The best time to do a lead pass is right after the opponent has scored a basket. In most cases, they will bolt back to secure the paint and leave the center position unguarded. A swift lead to basket pass in such a situation can easily score you a few points.

You cannot cancel the move if you can’t break free. Once you input the keys, you’re committed to the move, so make sure to aim the ball at an empty space.

You should always choose a target who is situated in a corner as they have the highest chances of scoring the point.
