NBA 2K25 Best Dribble Styles Tierlist

Which Dribble Style is Best in NBA 2K25?

Dribble styles are not preference. There are advantages to using some packages over others. The speed of the burst you get changes based on your dribble style.

When the De'Aaron Fox dribble style is released it will immediately be the best dribble style in the game. The requirements for this dribble style are pretty high as you have to be under 6'4 and have at least a 90 speed with ball.

But for now, if you can afford the Darius Garland Dribble Style, with its 85 speed with ball requirement, we recommend it as the best in the game. The speed boost towards the ball hand you get from Darius Garland's dribble style is unmatched. The cross launch is average so focus on bursting towards the ball hand.

If you are a tall guard you will not qualify for the Darius Garland Dribble Style. In this case we recommend the Devin Booker Dribble Style. The Speed with Ball requirement is only an 80 for this Dribble Style. The cross launch with Devin Booker is amazing and makes the Booker Dribble Style a great budget option.

Additionally, 2s guards should consider the Jalen Green dribble style as the cross launch is incredibly fast and wide. In a setting where you have more space to operate this Dribble Style is a solid choice.

Are there Dribble Styles to Avoid in NBA 2k25?

The Anthony Edwards Dribble Style is one of the worst dribble styles in the game. The Anthony Edwards dribble style has no burst towards the ball hand making it nearly unusable.

The Austin Reaves Dribble Style should also be avoided. The requirements for this style are pretty low so it is easily attainable but the cross launch and burst to the ball hand are both too slow to be effective.

Taller Guards should avoid the Donovan Mitchell Dribble Style. The requirements are the same and both the cross launch and burst are slower.
