    Before we explain how to dunk in NBA 2k21, let me tell you that you should do this when the risk is low. The only reason why we are telling you is becuase it is quite easy to mess them up. Without any further ado, let’s go through the guide:

    How to Dunk the Ball in NBA 2K21

    How to Dunk NBA 2k21

    In order to score a dunk in NBA 2k21, the first thing you need to do is to move towards the basket. To do so, you will have to hold R2 if you are playing on PlayStation 4, RT on Xbox or ZR on Switch. After that, you will have to press shoot when you are close the hoop, which is tied to Square on PS4, X on Xbox One, and Y on Switch, and push the left stick towards the basket.

    There are multiple types of Dunks that you can do in NBA 2k21. If you wish to try them, you will have to use different controls, sticks and triggers to do a specific type of dunks.

    Two-Hand Dunk

    If you want to do Two-Hand dunk in NBA 2k21, you will have to press and hold RT trigger + press the Right Thumbstick Up.

    Dominant or Off-Hand Dunk

    If you wish to do a dominant or off-hand dunk, you will have to press the RT trigger and press towards the left or right with the thumbstick. 

    Flashy Dunks

    Unlike Two-Hand Dunk and Dominant Dunk, Flashy Dunks are a little bit hard to do. If you still wish to try it, you can do the same by pressing the RT + holding down on the right stick. If your player is a player with a high dunking ability, they will automatically try to do a flashy dunk in the right situations.

    Note: For PlayStation controls on these just press the R2 button.  

    That’s all you need to know about how to dunk in NBA 2k21. For more news, guides, features, tips and tricks on the game, be sure to check out our other articles.
