I barely play center but as a guard I understand that if I happen to be next to the center I will make it a priority to just box him out so that my center can easily position and grab board. It's such a simple rule that many players don't follow. The opposing center always runs around your other teamates for free and end up getting board when it could've been avoided easily.

[@sixnine9048]

I salute you and I agree. Everyone just runs to leak out. 2k really shows who understands the concepts of basketball and who just wants to score. Hate majority of the community 😂

[@jaygunny8402]

As a center I hate u

[@NoHopeShow]

Anyone should box out so, if you could box a center than your defender failed boxing you out, if you're able to good for you but then your defender just failed

[@StarsMediaHD]

Even if you have no box out beast, the worm animation that your opposing center will be doing on your teammates allows for more than enough time for your teams center or PF to reposition themselves and get the board easily.

[@brandonalexander2758]

talk to these folks

[@IBeinstine]

Ok so its not just me. Every center has 96+ rebound. Nobody I play with helps box out, even power forwards sprint up court for fast breaks. I have to defend pick n rolls/pops block shots and box out these running 99 o board guys. But I have to play against 2-3 zone teams and even their guards box me out. I don't feel bad for giving up 20 boards a game.

[@sehrlangsam98]

Yeah this is what most of the playerbase never understands. Getting rebounds starts with boxing out and it's not just a center job. It's not a "skill issue" to not get the rebound while boxing out, because even the opponent has likely higher rebound. Whoever is directly under the paint has the priority to boxout first and then think about the rebound, but either the 3 or the 4 will just stand there watching in awe while maybe they are even getting cut off by their man chasing the board...

[@WhatUPbigbaby]

I’m the only rebounder on my team and I’m not giving up 20 a game. Box out the main rebounder. Also currently #3 in 5s proam. 94 d board, 89 strength, 83 vertical. Beat Cruz from black market with their sweaty pick and roll offense

I'm crying😂😂😂 I mean every center had that but if u use your takeover for rebounding n if it's high enough u counter act that pretty easily I have 80 o 92 def 7 2 n I'm always winning rebound battle by end of the game yes sometime they get lucky tips or just amazing bounces to them or just luck board gravitates to them but avg by end the game I have more points and boards but it is a challane be me vs 3 down there all tim3 feels like lol

[@scatterthoughts]

7:52 Not a myth. Holding Y/triangle gives you bigger jumps but you take a second to get up off the ground. Tapping Y/triangle gives you instant jumps but don’t maximize your vertical. It’s a difference that you can test and replicate. I remember the difference was described in 2kU one year but I don’t remember which. P.S. the same principle applies to blocks as well. Which is why chase downs are better when you hold Y/triangle

[@xooperz]

Damn never knew that

[@Imskyhighy]

Pissed I’m trying this today

[@VI_Yai_iV]

I swear there are so many secret mechanics when it comes to 2K

You can’t hold Y/Triangle for chase down’s though, it generally activates right away and you’ll need even more prediction for it to work

[@genokirkland2348]

This is correct. This is why I play MyCareer to the fullest…including the badge progression drills. It teaches you ALL this for different types of rebounds and blocks, etc.

When certain styles take less skill, I’m talking about so much to where I can easily make a 70 ovr post scorer go in theater and get all my wins back kind of easy.

[@ethanbrayne5078]

Laker you going to re make the build with anything you’d change after playing the game for a week??

[@Duneek]

I went up against a pretty top tier rebounder last night. Guy would literally run underneath the basket when he sensed a shot would go up and kind of just stand there in the key and snag offensive boards over me multiple times. Guy ended up getting 12 offensive boards out of his 20 and I ended up with 15 boards total. Not the only time I've encountered that and also not sure how it's done.

[@jwrekzer3632]

It’s what he referred to as worming, quicker centers are more successful at it, instead of trying to fight the box out, they run from a different angle so the box out animation of them being held doesn’t get triggered

[@jwrekzer3632]

If u have time u can actually kind of run behind the basket just a little and back in to get right under the basket and box out the opposing center

[@Kaleopono808]

BOARD! Very proud of my Board Hunter build name, the amount of O boards and second chance points I get because no one can shoot is hilarious. O boards cost 1900vc to go from a 50 to 85, every build should try get some on theirs.

[@iCruzPR]

Laker, when standing under the rim and not being able to get a running start, do you hold RT and hold Y for a long press? I feel like it helps maximize my jump.

[@LakerFan]

Yea, still super tough in comparison tho 😂 I guess the bigger you are the better circumstance it is for you that you’re sitting below the rim

[@ANFINIDY]

I mainly play pg/sg but i recently made a center build. Those positions go hand and hand.

[@Kmichaelcook87]

Yeah, you’ll often even find both of those positions on the same team.

[@droesw]

Unless I missed it I don’t think you mentioned when you start holding Y. Do you first press Y way before the ball hits the him, just slightly before, or do you wait until after the ball hits the rim to press Y?

[@LakerFan]

Initial hold of it is when you’d think to tap it, I just think it has a follow through is all, but I could be totally wrong lol

[@marlonhuling7021]

What take over you use?

[@KeepIt1Hunnod]

I have an 85 vert, 85 defensive rebound and 75 offensive rebound with a 89 agility and I barely get rebounds over people. I guess I need rebound chaser on at least gold.

[@Darealmenxce]

Boxing out plays a big part

[@KeepIt1Hunnod]

Yeah but in certain situations there’s no need to box out. Like if me and my teammate are going for a defensive rebound they’ll always react quicker than me if that makes sense. Like they’ll jump faster, I always get a late reaction when it comes to rebounding. I think now that there’s legend badges in the game, having silver badges is pretty much pointless.
