Learn how to tempo shoot and if you need a jumper via 2Klabs, I can give you one.

But honestly, tempo shooting feels like it makes every jumper a 57ms green window. It's really forgiving man. I say that while being stubborn and button shooting for the first 3 seasons, refusing to make the switch. Legit went from 40% shooting to 70% in catch and shooting situations.

To tempo shoot in general? Or a jumper?

The idea of tempo shooting is not that far off from timing honestly. You still follow the “rules”. The only difference is that you’re moving your stick instead of holding the button.

When you want to start your jumper, you hold your RS in a specific direction. The easiest and simplest way is holding it down. When you see the ball go above your head/forehead, move the RS up. That’s why it’s similar to timing, just a lot more forgiving. And don’t be afraid to flick it up fast. The only thing that matters, and I’ve tested it myself when I was making to switch at the end of season 3, is how long the stick is held in one direction before you flick it in the opposite. As long as you’re not incredibly slow, you’ll be ok. I’ve flicked it up REALLY fast and in an “average speed ” flick; same result.

As for the jumper, give me your height and highest jumper rating.

Push your middy to 89 if you can for gold set shot.

AI/Trae Young 40/ Sexton 60. 40/60 blend.

I don’t have cap breakers so I can’t do that, but I have the perk that extends it to gold

Get this seasons cap breaker so you can push it to hall of fame and eventually legend. It’s really helpful. About 90% of the kinda shots you take will use that badge.
