NBA 2K26 How to Get More Put Back Dunks, Aerial Wizard Badge video

What is good everyone and welcome to the NBA 2K lab. In this video, we'll be taking a look at the Aerial Wizard badge and the effectiveness at each level. This is going to be a quick video and I'm not going to waste your time. So, let's get right into it. The Aerial Wizard badge helps you finish alleyoops by not only making the catches easier, but the passes as well. The timing window also gets a slight boost, but normally Alioop should be wide open, otherwise you'll get taken out of the animation pretty frequently. But for this test specifically, we attempted 1,200 putbacks and looked at the putback rate with each level of Aerial Wizard equipped. And here's the results. Each badge level provides a fairly linear boost, but the biggest jump from the previous badge level happens from bronze to silver. We can see a 12% increase in putback rate for a total of 56% success rate. Going from silver to gold provides another solid boost by almost 10% for a total of 65 1.5%. Making gold the sweet spot for very effective putbacks and alioops. At Hall of Fame, the boost is effective, but it starts to plateau slightly. But when we get to legend, this can more than double your putback success rate when compared to having no badge. And that's about a 45% swing in success rate. Ultimately, the badge level you decide to target depends on your frequency of putback attempts. Each upgrade provides a good boost with silver being solid on a budget. Gold looks to be the sweet spot if you want more putbacks without breaking the bank. And that legend is pretty insane. But that of course comes with a large investment with a 97 driving dunk or a 98 standing dunk. But that is all we have for the Aerial Wizard badge test.
