The hop step combines the jump shot and the euro step into a single move. Also called the Pro Hop, it’s a move that grants your team an outstanding tactical advantage during a game. Let’s discuss how you can execute hop steps consistently.

HOW TO HOP STEP IN NBA 2K23

Here are the controls you need to know in order to execute a hop step:

Layup

Drive in towards the basket and, as you reach the paint, tap X or Square to execute a hop step. You can also hold down X/Square once again to perform a hop step layup.

Dunk

Drive in towards the basket and, as you reach the paint, tap X or Square to execute a hop step. You can also hold down X/Square and RT/R2 together to perform a hop step dunk.

Double tapping X/Square too quickly will force your character to execute a spin dunk or spin layup. Once you tap X/Square, wait at least a second before pressing down the button again.

The hop step increases your chances of taking a clean shot without getting blocked by a defender. But sometimes, even this move can prove ineffective against tough enemies. So if you don’t want to get shut down by ruthless defenders, consider reading the rest of our NBA 2K23 guides.
