by Fernando Diaz / NBA 2K25, NBA 2K25 Builds / 05 Sep 2024

LaMelo Ball… a standout point guard in the NBA has captivated fans with his extraordinary playmaking skills & flair on the court. Born in Chino hills/Cali; LaMelo first gained national attention during his high school career… everyone noticed his slick passes and court smarts, which took him down under to hoop in Australia’s NBL. Then the Charlotte Hornets scooped him up as the 3rd pick in the 2020 NBA draft.

He’s got this cool mix of skills and flexibility that makes him the perfect prototype for a NBA 2K25 character. So this walkthrough’s gonna show you how to craft the do-it-all LaMelo Ball type; dubbed the 4-WAY GOD – who’s a standout in loads of the hoop action.

Features

Position: PG

Height: 6 feet 6 – Weight: 180lbs

Wingspan: 6 feet 9

Close Shot (69): Solid for finishing close-range shots, but not your go-to.

Driving Layup (77): Reliable for getting to the rim, especially with a little finesse.

Driving Dunk (89): Can throw down impressive dunks; your highlight reel’s best friend.

Standing Dunk (39): Not much of a factor; stick to driving dunks for rim-rocking.

Post Control (47): Weak in the post; avoid backing down opponents.

Mid-Range Shot (80): Good enough for consistent mid-range jumpers.

Three-Point Shot (90): Deadly from deep; a real threat from beyond the arc.

Free Throw (65): Average at the line; not a liability, but not a standout either.

Now a Pass accuracy of 71 means you’re okay at getting the ball to your pals. Still, there’s room to get better.

You’re downright killer at dribbling with a Ball Handle score of 92… you’re the guy making defenders stumble and getting your shot off.

Speed?? Yeah you got it… an impressive 86 in Speed with Ball lets you zip around those trying to block you.

But watch yourself with an Interior Defense of just 44… you don’t wanna get trapped close to the basket.

Perimeter Defense (82): This player shines guarding the edge; they’re a whiz at perimeter defense.

Steal (79): They’ve got a knack for swiping the ball; they throw off the other team’s dribblers.

Block (51): Average blocking ability; don’t rely on it too much for rim protection.

Offensive Rebound (25): Weak on the boards; focus on scoring rather than crashing.

Defensive Rebound (42): Struggles with rebounding; let the bigs handle the glass.

Speed (85): Fast and explosive; use your speed to outpace opponents.

Agility rating at 80 means you’re speedy and slick – awesome for slipping past defenders and snagging some room on the court.

Strength (55): Average strength…

Vertical (78): Decent vertical; helps with finishing & rebounding.

Gameplay Tips

Go Hard in the Paint: When you’re heading to the basket make sure to use that sweet dunking skills you got… This build’s awesome for slamming it down so when there’s a chance on a quick break or you see an opening, show off how you can fly.

Rain from Downtown: You got a killer threepoint shot so be a constant threat from way out. If you’ve got room cuz of some slick moves; don’t think twice about launching some deep threes.

Dribble Like a Pro: You’ve got mad skills with the ball, right? So, take advantage of that to mess with the defense and open up chances to score. Do some slick crossovers, behind-the-back moves, or spins to leave those defenders in the dust and either take the shot or hit up a buddy.

Drive and Dish: Use your quickness to break through the defense; when you can’t make the basket up close, spot teammates who are free or pass it out for a good shot!!

Play Perimeter Defense: Make sure you guard the edge well. Rely on your quickness to challenge shots and make the other team lose the ball…
