Additional Tips: When trying out the alley-oop play in NBA 2K23, the direction of your LS will be key to where your lob will be thrown. If it’s by any means off, the alley-oop could be botched and you could turnover the ball as result.
Moreover, the proximity between you and the player you’re throwing the ball to will play a factor in whether you will be able to execute the alley-oop. The further you’re from the player you’re trying to pass to, the more challenging it will be to successfully pull it off.
