Best Layup Packages in NBA 2K25

You can’t always rely on dunking over defenders; more often than not, you’ll have to rely on your trusty layup package to score in the paint. We’ve prepared the best layups in NBA 2K25 which will take your inside scoring to the next level.

All layup packages in NBA 2K25 have two sets of requirements: one for the driving layup attribute and one for player height. Both of these can disqualify you from equipping a certain package, so if you want to be the layup king, you’ll want to make sure your build meets the requirements.

We’ve selected two layup packages for each height so you can make a good choice that best suits your build.

Best Layup Packages for Players Under 6’5 in NBA 2K25 – Kyrie Irving and Bradley Beal

Kyrie Irving is a great inside scorer despite his lack of dunking ability, and it’s all because of his layup package. This package allows you to weave around defenders in almost unnatural ways, creating basket opportunities where there shouldn’t be any.

Beal may come as a surprise, but his layups have a very high arc, which can be a boon for smaller guards. His package also includes a set of floaters designed to overcome block attempts and taller defenders.

Best layup packages for players between 6’5″ and 6’6″ in NBA 2K25 – Michael Jordan and Jayson Tatum

We’ll admit that pulling off some of the most iconic moves in NBA history was a huge driving force behind the MJ roster. Don’t let that detract from the athletic set of layups at your disposal. This layup package would be the perfect cherry on top of our best small forward build in NBA 2K25 and turns your athletic winger into an automatic bucket in the paint.

If you’re not looking to go the super athletic route, Jayson Tatum’s layups are your perfect match. Not being particularly athletic himself, Tatum relies on body movement and a high release point for his layups, and you can see how effective that can be if you equip his set of layup moves.

Best layup packages for players taller than 6’9 in NBA 2K25 – Nikola Jokic and Nikola Vucevic

Ever wonder how someone as unathletic as Jokic can score so consistently in the paint? The answer is his layup package. There are all sorts of moves here, and to stay on theme, they all have a high arc, which is especially helpful when you’re going up against centers all the time.

Vucevic’s layup set is very unique because it’s essentially a mini-set of hooks, half-hooks, and push shots. This layup package won’t magically turn you into Hakeem Olajuwon, but it can certainly feel like it at times.
