One of the toughest things to do in NBA 2K is to find the best jumpshot for your build. You can spend hours looking for the best one and still come up empty, or find one you like and it simply fails to perform. We already shared some fastest jumpshots for season 1, 2, 3, and 4 in NBA 2K23, today in this post we break down 7 of the best season 5 jumpshots for under 6’5’’, 6’5’’-6’9’’, 6’10’’ or taller builds.

Release 1: Dwyane Wade
Release 2: Dwyane Wade
Release Speed: Max

Stephen Curry is one of the fastest bases in the game and it’s super easy to time just because of how smooth it is, obviously, with Stephen Curry being the greatest shooter of all time, it’s definitely going to be a good jumpshot in 2K. After that, a lot of people like to go with Dwyane Wade releases for small guards, it is so easy to time jump shot, it’s such a smooth looking jump shot. But basically, this requires 91 shot 3pt, so if you don’t end up having a 91 shot 3pt, you are going to need a different base such as Lamelo Ball base.
#2 - Best Season 5 NBA 2K23 Jumpshot for 6’5’’ to 6’9’’
Base: Oshae Brissett
Release 1: Rudy Gay
Release 2: Rudy Gay
Release Speed: Max
Animation Blending: 50%|50%
Release Height: B+
Def. Immunity: B
Release Speed: A-
Timing Impact: D
Use the Oshae Brissett base, which is faster and easier to time than the Lamelo Ball base. And pairing with the Oshae Brissett base, once you are 6’5’’ to 6’9’’, you are actually able to get the Rudy Gay for release 1 and release 2. You are going to max the speed, and since both releases are the same, the animation blending can be whatever you want, it won’t change anything about the jumpshot.
#3 - 100% Greenlight Jumpshot in NBA 2K23 Season 5
Base: Eric Paschall
Release 1: Rudy Gay
Release 2: Rudy Gay
Release Speed: Max
Animation Blending: 50%|50%
Release Height: A
Def. Immunity: B
Release Speed: B+
Timing Impact: B-
The base you could use is Eric Paschall. While this jump shot is a little bit slower with only a B+ release speed, the release height is really good and it is like a throwback jumpshot. So it is a really fun jumpshot to use, and even though it is a tiny bit on the slower side, it is extremely easy to green the shot every single time. The releases are the same, go with the max speed and animation blending can be anything.
#4 - Best Season 5 Jumpshot for 6’10’’ & Taller Builds
Base: Eric Paschall
Release 1: Rudy Gay
Release 2: Rudy Gay
Release Speed: Max
Animation Blending: 80%|20%
Release Height: C+
Def. Immunity: C
Release Speed: A+
Timing Impact: D
For the base, go with the Oshae Brissett, it is super fast, especially for 6’10’’ builds. The first release you want to go with is Marvin Bagley III, you probably never use him in one of your jump shots, but his release is actually chicken. The second release is going to be the best player in the entire league - Joel Embiid. So Marvin Bagley III and Joel Embiid are probably not your normal jumpshots in 2K, but these releases work so well together and you want to max out the speed, make sure it’s as fast as possible. For the animation blending, go with 80%/20%.
