NBA 2K23 Best Custom Jumper
How do we find the Best Jumpers in NBA 2k23
Here at NBA2KLab we have been testing various aspects of the NBA2K franchise since 2K17. We do repetitive actions and limit all outside variables that could affect the subject of our test. We have a lot of free data from badge tests, attribute tests, build tools, etc. In order to keep the site alive, we introduced a premium side of the site where we do all of our jumpshot testing.
What does NBA2KLab Premium tell me about the Best Custom Jumper on 2k23 for my build?
We have a few different pages on our premium side of the site. The first one being our classic Custom Jumper Data page. This was the first type of premium content we have where we do our main jumper testing to show the best jumpshots in NBA2K23.

- Base - This is the base of the jumpshot tested
- Release 1 and 2 - these of the releases of the jumpshot tested
- Min and Max height - In 2k, your height determines which bases and releases you are allowed to equip. These columns on the table can be filtered so you can only see shots your build can use
- Blending - the blending of the releases
- Rating Required - New to 2k23, your 3pt or mid range rating unlocks different shots. A higher rating will give you a wider variety of shots available. This column is also filterable
- Jumpshot Speed - We find the exact speed for jumpshots to let you know which are the fastest NBA2K, and which are too slow to be viable. The letter grades do not tell the whole story when it comes to shot speeds. An A+ on one jumper can be slower than an A+ on another.
- Green Window Size - We find the exact window of time where a jumpshot has a chance to be green. You can sort on our table by the jumpshots with the biggest green windows in NBA2K. Shots with bigger green windows have a little more leeway when timing your shot
- Average Make Percentage - Once we find the green window, we take large samples of shots testing at specific millisecond timings every 5 milliseconds throughout the green window. We take 200 shots and record the make percentage. We then average those make percentages in the middle of the green window, and again on the edges. We display those averages in our table. There is still RNG involved even with well timed shots and we show which shots have the best chance of going in
- Star Rating - Our premium users can rate a jumper out of 5 stars. We show the aggregate rating from all of our users to help show which shots our community likes the most
- Ratings - How many times a shot has been voted on
How To Get Better At Shooting in 2k
We have jumpshot charts on this page showing the make percentage from our tests for each millisecond tested. We are trying to make the best way to practice jumpshots in NBA2K23 without being on your console. Just click on a jumpshot in the table and the graph will populate. This creates a nice bell curve showing the full green window of a shot. Some shots have a better make percentage when slightly later while some have a better make percentage when slightly earlier. This will also give you the option to get a feel for the jumper timing on the fastest release blend speed (which we always recommend to do) Use a controller via bluetooth or plugged into your pc to test the jumper you selected. We will record the results and show how often you are timing your shot well. This will help show your consistency when getting in the green window
Best Jumpshot Grades for My Build
The next table has to deal with the new grading system in NBA2K23 when it comes to custom jumpers. We have automated stations that record each jumper and release and display which grade that custom jumper gets for each category. We allow you to filter on the table to easily find a jumper you may like based on the grades you want.

- Base - This is the base of the jumpshot tested
- Release 1 and 2 - these of the releases of the jumpshot tested
- Height - This is how high the release is of the jumper, the higher the grade the better. It will help reduce contests from defenders
- Defense - This will help contested shots go in more. There is less impact from contests from defenders when this grade is higher
- Speed - The most important category, this gives a general idea of how fast a shot is
- Timing Impact - This affects how your user timing affects the chance of it going in. The higher the grade here, the more margin for error you have
- Min and Max height - In 2k, your height determines which bases and releases you are allowed to equip. These columns on the table can be filtered so you can only see shots your build can use
- Mid or Three Required - The rating you need to be able to use the jumper
Best Moving Jumpers in 2k23
Our next table is our jumper testing on Moving/Pullup Jumpers. We do the same sort of testing as normal jumpers, but with fading shots. We want to find the best moving shot in NBA2K for you. The most important thing on this table is consistency. I like to have shots with similar timings whether you are fading towards your main hand or off hand. Or with or without turbo

- Shot - This is the pull up jumper
- Hand - Which direction the fade is going. Main = towards your main hand and Off Hand = towards your off hand.
- Turbo? = This column shows whether turbo was held during the fade. Holding turbo gives different animations/timings than if you weren’t holding turbo
- Height - This column is filterable as not every pull up jumper can be used for every height. You can filter out the shots your player cannot use
- Speed - We find the exact speed for moving shots to let you know which are the fastest NBA2K, and which are too slow to be viable
- Green Window Size - We find the exact window of time where a jumpshot has a chance to be green. You can sort on our table by the jumpshots with the biggest green windows in NBA2K. Shots with bigger green windows have a little more leeway when timing your shot
- Average Make Percentage - Once we find the green window, we take large samples of shots testing at specific millisecond timings every 5 milliseconds throughout the green window. We take 200 shots and record the make percentage. We then average those make percentages in the middle of the green window, and again on the edges. We display those averages in our table. There is still RNG involved even with well timed shots and we show which shots have the best chance of going in
Jumpshot Timing Recommender Tool
Our last table is the Jumpshot Timing Recommender. This page serves two purposes, helping your find a jumper that fits your natural timing, or helping you find a release timing setting for a jumper you already like. If you want to find a release timing, you will select a base in the drop down box, then click and hold the button 10 times. Our system will record your timing and average them to find a release timing that fits your natural timing. We will remove any outliers in the timing. This can be used with a controller via bluetooth. Can be used on desktop or mobile devices.

The second part of the page is for you to find a base. You will select the check box that you would like to be recommended a base, then select your MyPlayer’s height and 3 point rating so we can filter out shots your player cannot use.
