NBA 2K23: How to Do a Dream Shake

by Lordtoto01 / Articles, NBA 2K23 / 05 Apr 2022

The Dream Shake is a special badge that is perfect for executing fakes. It also increases the probability of a defender biting down when you’re doing fakes in post. Let’s take a deeper dive into the badge mechanics and discuss how you can put it to good use.

HOW TO DO A DREAM SHAKE

Dream Shake – Post move fakes have an increased chance of stunning defenders. Furthermore, shot fakes and shot attempts after post moves receive a boost to the shot percentage.

The Dream Shake is one of many Finisher Badges. Refer to our NBA 2K23 Finishing Badges guide for the complete list.

Note that trying to point the Right Stick towards the basket while you’re out of range will force you to do a runner, which is highly inefficient.

You can activate the Dream Shake badge by doing a Post Shimmy Hook or a Post Shimmy Fade.

Post Shimmy Hook – Hold L2/LT to post up. Keeping the Left Stick neutral, hold R2/RT + move and hold the Right Stick diagonally up right or up left.

Post Shimmy Fade – Hold L2/LT to post up. Keeping the Left Stick neutral, hold R2/RT + move and hold the Right Stick diagonally down right or down left.

Greatly synergizes with the Backdown Punisher badge, which lets you back down defenders more successfully in the paint.
