A spectacular move in basketball known as the self alley-oop enables players to throw the ball off the backboard, catch it in mid-air, and then dunk the ball all in one fluid motion. Players can do this by using the self alley-oop move. This move, which was made famous by NBA superstars such as Vince Carter and Blake Griffin, and which is also included in the game, is featured in NBA 2K23. In this walkthrough for NBA 2K23, we will cover the various steps that need to be taken in order to successfully complete a self-alley-oop. This is one of the more challenging moves in the game.

1. The first thing that must be done is to decide which player will be used

2. It is impossible to pull off a successful self alley-oop without the assistance of a player who possesses high dunk attributes

3. When attempting the move, players who have high ratings in the categories of dunking, athleticism, and vertical will have a greater chance of succeeding

4. The next thing you should do is move closer to the Basket

5. Before you can begin the self alley-oop, you will need to get closer to the basket where the ball is being thrown

6. You can start your drive toward the basket at either the three-point line or the free-throw line

7. Either one of these lines is an acceptable starting point

8. In order to get yourself into the right frame of mind for the jump, you need to approach it at a speed that is somewhere between medium and high

    

You should begin to apply pressure to the right trigger/RT button and keep that pressure applied as you get closer to the basket. When you press this button, your character will now go through an animation called "gather," in which they will gather the ball in preparation for the jump. This animation plays whenever you press this button.


Press and maintain pressure on the right thumbstick in the direction of the basket while you are also pressing and maintaining pressure on the right trigger/RT button. As soon as the trigger is activated, this will cause your player to begin the jump animation and start the self alley-oop they have been practicing.

At the fifth step, you should let go of the right thumbstick.

It is recommended that you let go of the right thumbstick as soon as your character begins to climb. As a consequence of this, the player that you are in control of will attempt to shoot the ball over the backboard.

Move on to Step 6 and make the necessary adjustments to the Left Thumbstick.

While the ball is still in the air, use the left thumbstick to move your player so that they are underneath the ball. This should be done while the ball is still in the air. Make sure that the pointer on the left thumbstick is pointing in the same direction that the ball is traveling.

Step 7: From the "Dunk" drop-down menu, make your selection.

Before you can press the dunk button and successfully complete the self alley-oop, you have to make sure that your player is properly positioned beneath the ball. Only then can you press the button. After making a one-motion catch of the ball while it is in the air, your player will then proceed to dunk the ball.

In NBA 2K23, the self alley-oop can be completed successfully with the help of the following helpful hints:

1. Develop an Expert Command of TimingWhen it comes to successfully completing the self alley-oop move, timing is the most important factor of all. Make sure that you let go of the right thumbstick at the right time, and that you use the left thumbstick to position your character in the appropriate way.

2. Practice Makes Perfect: Just like with any other move in NBA 2K23, practicing the self alley-oop will give you more experience with it, which will increase your chances of successfully performing it in a game and make it more likely that you will be able to successfully perform it. Spend some of your time in the practice mode so that you can improve both your timing and your technique. This will help you become a better player overall.

3. Vary Your Approach: If you want to increase your chances of scoring and keep the opposing defense guessing, you should experiment with approaching the basket from a variety of angles and speeds. This will help you keep the defense guessing. As a direct consequence of this, it will be more challenging for defenders to anticipate your move and successfully block your shot.

4. Make Use of Your Player's Attributes: If one of your players has a high dunk rating, you should attempt the self alley-oop with them as frequently as you can. If you are successful, you will earn a point. If you do this, you will be able to capitalize on their strengths, which will provide an advantage for your team while they are competing on the court.

Make Use of Fake Outs: If you want to get an even better result from your self-alley-oop, try using fake outs to throw off the defense. This will allow you to gain an advantage. For instance, prior to going for the self alley-oop, you can pretend to pass the ball to another player by using a fake pass, or you can use a crossover dribble move to create space for the jump shot. Both of these options can be utilized before going for the self alley-oop.

Make Room for YourselfIt is absolutely necessary to make space for yourself in order to successfully perform the self alley-oop. You can put distance between yourself and your defender and give yourself room to make the jump by utilizing moves such as stepbacks, hesitations, and spin moves. These kinds of moves also give you room to make the jump.

Alter the direction in which you are shooting. Altering the direction of your shot can make it more difficult for defenders to block it. Instead of going straight up for the alley-oop, try changing the direction of your shot instead. You can make it more difficult for your opponent to anticipate your shot by attempting a move such as a reverse dunk or a 360 windmill, for example. This will make it more difficult for them to anticipate your shot.

If you are having trouble performing the self alley-oop, you should investigate the possibility of upgrading your character's attributes. Because of this, you will have an easier time performing the move. You can improve your player's ability to perform the move by investing in areas such as dunking, vertical, and athleticism. This will allow your player to perform the move more effectively.

Switch Up Your Moves and Don't Rely Solely on the Self-Alley-oop to Get You Through the Game. Mix Up Your Moves. You can keep the defense guessing and make it harder for them to predict your game by mixing up your moves and using a variety of dunk styles, such as tomahawks, windmills, and reverse dunks. This will make it more difficult for them to anticipate your game.

Make Use Of ScreensUtilizing screens is a great way to help create space and give yourself some breathing room from your defender. You can set up an alley-oop for yourself by utilizing the picks and screens of your teammates, and once it's ready, you can jump through the perfect angle that your teammates have created for you by positioning themselves.

In NBA 2K23, the self-alley-oop is a jaw-dropping move that has the potential to both help you score points and entertain the crowd. You can also pull it off all by yourself if you follow these steps. If you follow the steps that have been outlined above and use the tips that have been provided, you will be able to successfully perform this move in the game and impress your opponents. If you remember to practice and get the timing just right, you'll be able to throw down self-alley-oops like a pro in no time at all. All you have to do is keep in mind to practice.
