NBA 2K24 – How to hang on the rim
Hanging on the rim in NBA 2K24 is very easy. In fact, if you’re familiar with how to dunk, it will come even easier to you. Whether you’re using a controller or mouse and keyboard, all you need to do is hold down your dunk controls when close to the rim. That’s right! Upon approaching the basket, fans just need to hold down on the dunking controls and the player will hang on the rim until you release the control.
However, before you attempt this, there’s a couple of tips to keep in mind should you aim on triggering this action frequently. The first tip is that the closer you are to the basket when completing your dunk, the better. And of the two types of dunks you should attempt this for, we recommend two-handed ones. If you’re picking up too much momentum and try to attempt this with a one-handed dunk, hanging just won’t come as easy, and chances are your player will drop back down on the court upon throwing it down.
Lastly, it’s important to have space when you attempt to pull off hanging dunks. And the more your shot is contested, the harder it will be for you to complete it. So breakaway opportunities continue to be the best for you to hang and flex on the rim, just be sure not to garner too much speed.
