We bet that you've been spending a lot of time playing "NBA 2K17," whether you're playing MyCareer mode, Association mode, or even just playing exhibition games with your friends. Every year 2K Sports makes it a little harder to bring up your MyPlayer through the ranks of the NBA, so you're going to want to know the best shortcuts you can take in order to be competitive in the league.
In order to make sure you get the most opportunities for efficient scoring, your "NBA 2K17" MyPlayer has to have the best showcase moves—not only because they look great, but because the better your moves are, the less likely defending players are going to block them. The BitBag put together a quick list of showcase aerial acrobatics that you should aim for when building up your MyPlayer.
For layups, you're going to want the signature moves of the smaller, more athletic rim attackers. "NBA 2K17" has a collection of good point/shooting guard moves from the likes of the Golden State Warriors' Steph Curry, the Cleveland Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving, the Washington Wizards' John Wall, and the San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker, among others. Their smooth and high-percentage close-up shots around the rim guarantee a lot of efficient scoring for your MyPlayer, helping you win games and earn more stats.
Dunks, however, are slightly harder to pull off if you don't have the appropriate height, vertical, and dunk stat. It's easier for big men, but in "NBA 2K17" it's traditionally been harder for smaller guys. Legends Shaquille O'Neal and Shawn Kemp, as well as the Clippers' Blake Griffin, have great dunk sets for big players, but the smaller MyPlayers can go for Zach LaVine's sets for flashier (but harder to pull off) dunks.
There are many other sets you can try, but these are the best ones you can go with in "NBA 2K17" right now. The best way to figure out what works best for your MyPlayer is, of course, hours of experimentation and practice.
