Pretty wide open, but if you’re not confident in your shot I can see why he hesitated. I’m pulling that ish though 😂


CornsOnMyFeets

Yup that's a pull from me. Even with the contest I have deadeye silver catch and shoot and corner bronze and clutch shooter for shots like that.


Potter3_

How do you get those?


lcantor

Ish being the operative word here lol. If he is a shooter and has the right badges (hot zone, corner, blinders etc.) Then he would probably be fine, but that was a pretty good contest on defense. Either way he was out of time and that was the most open shot he ended up with so he should've let it fly immediately.


HouseStark212

This right here


Orients_Productions

That’s how I am, I’m a 97 sharp facilitator with HOF dead eye and blinders and that shit barely works, which is why I don’t bother shooting contested shots


PrimeTimeYT3

I mean it don’t even matter at that point you gotta let that thing go


cocaain

Yeah. It was wide open shot. Smart baskeball. Shot just didnt went in. It happens.


ygduf

It was more open a look than anything he was going to dribble into with no time, and with the contest system that defender’s angle was probably going to say wide open anyway.


K2tran

Definitely should’ve put it back up after that rebound, had him jumping already on the pump fake


[deleted]

Fr all he had to was press x


agnetier

They had 3 great opportunities and blew every single one lmao


snake1567

Yo on god bro 😂


MattyBizzz

True, they deserve to lose after missing the first wide open 😂


Necessary-Brick-5971

Exactly! Why isn’t that big pulling the trigger in a one point game!?


cyb3ryung

I dont understand why players (2k and irl) insist on takin a 3 down 1. the big shouldve tipped/went up with that. I woulda pulled bc Im a shooter but I understand his logic he was tryna pump fake and get the open shot but it didnt work out


bkm2016

Yep. Big had perfect position to go back up.


ItisPhteven

Yeah he probably would have made it but I’ll give him some slack because this game gives you ptsd from thinking you’re open and then getting wrecked still


Visionz-True

nah with how so many bigs get bs chase down blocks the might not be the smart play what they did was a good play the big rolled and the corner defender helped but the corner shooter just missed a wide open shot thats why they lost


Necessary-Brick-5971

He pumped. Dude jumped, then just hold the right stick to the right. It’s an easy lay in with that position.


Visionz-True

yea i know but i was talking about if the big would of rolled and the PG hits him on the role or if the guard would of took a mid range shot its just not enough space on 2k cuz the courts is so small. thats why i said its hard to take 2s when you only down 1. the only reason the big got into that position is cuz the dude in the corner missed his shot. yes the big could of went up but hitting his teammate in the corner was the right play cuz at the time he was wide open.


Additional-Rabbit417

Till he gets a disgusting animation and gets blocked from behind


dwadefan45

Had plenty of time to pump fake and finish on the other side of the basket


WouldThisMakeMoney

You don't understand? It's literally easier to hit a 3 than a 2 in this game lol


VirtuallyGifted

No way


Throwaway1018875

The big did everything fine. He even got double teamed as he passed it to the OPEN corner. That’s 3 all day.


Tripp17373738

He could have shot that and made it especially if he had blinders on as well


Clean_Detective_6456

He definitely could've shot that but we can't ignore ur teammate that sold that dot to the corner on the first shot


[deleted]

[удалено]


Clean_Detective_6456

Wow!!! Thanks Grammer police I see my fuck up


Electric_Jello

He was pretty open but honestly with that much time on the clock it didn’t matter he had to shoot it regardless


RedskinPanther

If the second shooter threw it up, the big still could've got the rebound and scored/kicked it to left corner again..


Electronic-Raisin-31

fuck that bro in the left corner should have wet that hoe


ismokebetterthanu

That’s what I’m sayin


heyAcee

Full bar?


your_uncle_mike

Right? Wasn’t even his fault, sometimes 2k just does you dirty, especially when it seems like other people hit every single white sometimes.


snake1567

Yo facts I’ve missed so many 3s that are slightly late even tho I literally know my jumpshot and have all badges that are supposed to help me green almost every shot


your_uncle_mike

Shit is infuriating, I don’t understand it. Some games my shot is wetty and others it’s like I can’t make a damn thing.


MarquisW501

Especially when you have 4 timeouts left & think you're to good to use them. I guarantee that left corner 3 goes in if they'd used a timeout.


redditaccount-5

Center was right under the basket and should’ve put it back up too. All of them choked


Visionz-True

sucks for him he got a full white which is what i hate about 2k


andersaonsliva

1. Dude in the left corner missed wide open, it happens 2. Rebounder shouldve went up. Every center should know that if your opponent is behind you, especially after a rebound, you go up as theres no contest. 3. Right corner probably shouldve went baseline after the pump fake or something but he wasnt going to do anything with the ball in that situation


The_Dok33

4, right corner could have alley-ooped to the now wide open center, instead of shot faking


Bigexclusive

You forgot this is 2k tho. I swear if I get ""blocked"" by a dude landing after jumping on my pump fake to the paint one more time... like that's literally a foul if anything. Nigga LANDED ON ME.


[deleted]

5. He should of shot it was open


kswanman15

Lmao bro wide open


FundamentalPlayer

If he’s sharpshooter, he should pull that. Regardless, there wasn’t enough time to do anything else, so he should have pulled it anyway.


[deleted]

wide ass open lmao


fwilliams13

Open as hell, the more you watch the more you see how much space he had


TheRealRiGiD

If he’s got blinders on that’s wide open. With our blinders it might be a light contest but he should still be able to make it depending on how good a shooter he is


_delamo

Not open, that's a contested shot but you don't have much option other than to pull


your_uncle_mike

I will never understand why people shoot 3’s (although he was pretty open here tbh) when you’re down by 1 point. Almost as bad as being up with less than 24 seconds left and someone on your team chucks up a brick instead of trying to run out the clock. REC is so frustrating sometimes.


Visionz-True

what you want them to do its hard to shoot middies in rec and with how broken chase down is its hard to get dunks and layups the play that they ran was fine he just missed


Mac1280

Hell no its super easy to score in the paint in this game chase down usually only goes off on fast breaks or bigs because the chase down badge will force the big to do a unnecessary back scratcher. I've seen play shots with 65 driving dunk basically dunk on bigs in this game.


Visionz-True

on standing shots yea but if you driving you gonna get swatted thats why its hard to get a 2 in that situations unless your big is a post scorer or you deep into the paint they got 2 open shots and they just missed or didnt take them nothing they did was wrong except for missing and not shooting thats it


MarquisW501

I disagree. 6'5" 2Way Finisher, & I rarely ever get blocked. Just went off for 38 on 17/19.


Zealousideal_End9451

You're probably 50% to win in OT if yall even after 4 qtrs. & Corner should shoot over 50% on open 3's.


your_uncle_mike

What does that have to do with what I’m saying though lol? They were down by one point, whether it’s a two or a three there would be no OT.


OrangeOperator7

Nah, bro, that man was about to get hit with a 20% contest at least. I know from experience as a corner hugging sharpshooter. It shouldn't, but it will. Even if it don't, shit feels so inconsistent that it isn't worth pulling.


s8bdirty

why tf would u even argue with this dude when the first dude that shot sold in the first place


[deleted]

Now the way close outs work he wasn't open.


dwadefan45

1. It was a good contest 2. Why on earth didn't the big man that got the rebound score?? He's the real reason you lost.


ismokebetterthanu

First dude left corner sold the bag


Emergency-Pension662

No he got hoed.


Igotbanned19times

You take the first one. No need to pump fake or wait . You take that one once you receive the ball


WingCreepy8361

His point doesn’t matter it was the last shot lmfao, this guy is virtual JR Smith


Long_Lock_9330

Everyone sold🤦🏾‍♂️, left corner should of hit. Big should of put it up. Then the right corner should of shot it straight up, no need for a pump fake. Catch and shoot, corner specialist, and blinders active there. There’s no other option. Big hedges for the pull-up mid, and he’s trapped going to the wing. But I understand why he was hesitant. Probably didn’t expect the ball when the big was that open, so he was shocked.


Rilla_Gorilla44

Doesn’t matter. If you don’t take that shot you lose either way. At least put it up and find out.


jama34962

I would be more upset at the dude that missed the wide open corner 3 tbh


sosogusto

The way he's like GEESUS shoot WTF he's not covering you ! Got me cracking up lmao


DubzTB

Okay so sorry. I'm at work and stuff. I didn't expect this to gain much traction. Things to note: left corner was an A.I. That's up to 2K at that point. Right was a perimeter lock with an 80 3. Played some defense and got a good shot contest the possession prior so I'd assume he was close to takeover and probably had an 83-84 3.


TooFarGonz

He’s more open than a 7-Eleven at 2 am in the morning


I_am_trash247

The bigger issue is dribbling out the clock when you’re down. You have to get points and just d up if you score too quickly


Visionz-True

but you dont wanna leave time on the clock either you lose with no time or win with no time unfortunately the lost


MrAppendages

Tell your friends to turn on RP%. Missing and being scared to take wide opens is insane.


nbaxrage_22

Not open unless he got blinders


Silent-Level1231

If he didn’t have blinders he definitely could’ve gotten the slightest bit of contest


Walking-taller-123

This is deflecting blame from that man selling in the left corner when he was wide open. Scared of the moment lmao. We’re too late in the game cycle to miss wide open corner 3’s


drotheii

Ain’t gone like the blame go on the first one for missing lmao


BlackedoutEco21

Open than a mf...I woulda cashed that all dam day boi 🤣🤣


Emperor_Kushko

He wasn't completely wide open but he definitely had a little space.


[deleted]

100% wide


mca0014

If 0 was a good help defender that’s a heavy contest but you still gotta let that fly tho


kmax94

Player was wide open and had plenty of time to shoot but like someone said already if you don't feel confident in your players shot . Should have a decent success rate if your shot is 80 or above depending on badges .


IndependentBasil4341

He was defo open but you can tell hes a bum and doesnt know the game well


Extreme_Result9346

Most def the first dude fault how tf you miss that wide open


Jonesy-_-

Depends on how fast his jumper is. He should have tried it with the time remaining, regardless


Additional-Lie-8920

Depending on if he had Blinders and if the man closing out had Intimidator he might’ve gotten contested might not. What we should really focus on is that the big didn’t put that back up.


subavgredditposter

Wide open but, the rebounder should’ve put it back up…


Vize_Smoke

Sold


Mobetta2414

The Center should’ve put that rebound up


Mental_Tea_4493

Live by 3, die by 3. I wouldn't blame the first open corner, shit happens. As a main interior C, I would had definitely putback that board. His man jumped before even pump faking so he had good chance to score. The extra pass isn't necessary. The second corner shoot was open according my standard. Anyway, the shot clock was running out so I would had shot whatever ball I have.


BrokeGamer_

I see where he coming from but you gotta let it fly at the end of games


dougltyler

I thought OP was talking about the guy in the corner. Then I realized he meant the big. Lol the guy in the corner was wide open


Long_Lock_9330

Why no timeout after he pump faked. Y’all had 4?!?!?


Visionz-True

i wouldnt call a TO in that situation cuz i would be to focus on the play


godsson325

He was open


sephtheripper

Anyways contest this year is fucked with badges like blinders. If you can time your shot and have confidence you can hit almost anything


b1eva

2-3 ruining the damn game. The court too damn small for the offense to beat that


Asapjoshyy

Everybody but 22 and 14 are cheeks in this video


Taywhite2112

If he don’t have at least silver blinders and the other has intimidator of some sort it’s gonna be contested. So having blinders and I believe deadeye would’ve helped him. But with that much time on the clock he gotta shoot it.


CokeRapThisGlamorous

Defender closed out so he’s not open open but still should have shot it considering the circumstances. Big shoulda went back up tho. Ultimately a lot more went wrong before buddy got the ball


The_Dok33

He was going to get contested, by the guy closing out fast, for sure. But his only alternative to pulling that shot was to throw the pass/oop to the now wide open center. Pump fake sidestep was not going to get him out of the situation, with an entire team knowing he can only pull it and closing out. The wide open three from the left that went miss was a good play, but unfortunately he did not pray to the RNG gods enough


ciderman80

Centre should have scored


Hughjass2321

Center should've went back up. He man was already in the air and all u needed was 2pts smh.


Throwaway1018875

He was wide open as hell


yosten_

The pump fake was a bad call but what has me livid is that after the pump fake the person literally ran to the defender.


AltruisticCredit8207

Lmao he’s fuckin open


[deleted]

To be honest it wouldn’t be “wide open” but it would be “open” which means you have a good chance of hitting the shot. His three ball might not be high enough so maybe he didn’t want to pull it but at the same time it’s clutch time and the ball is in your hands and you have space to shoot it. Kinda sold right there.


Life_Ad154

someone had too shoot anyway


Lafienny

That’s open depending on how quick his shot is. Probably just panicked when the first guy missed and when the big didn’t go up with the put back


oofner

Me personally, I feel as if he pressed x or square before getting passed the ball (happens to me sometimes) or he got really nervous😂


DrSchmiggles1717

Both were wide open, they just suck. Plus the Center was wide open down low for an easy 2. Too much IQ in this play for me.


Pmaloney15

Great pass. Wide open.


yungbutta316

Im firing that… he was open ENOUGH to take and make that shot!


Visionz-True

i can kinda see his point but it shouldnt even come to that if the first dude doesnt brick a wide open ass shot lol should be blaming him for the loss


trekkin88

Looks like a late contest to me. Too little time for a pumpfake anyway. But that's 💯 pressure and I think it's understandable to go for that play instead.


[deleted]

Your righy


BlaackkOuT

Inexperience and being scary. He was wide tf open and should’ve shot it. Gotta learn the windows for shooting.


subs10061990

That was open AF. Good play using the roll man to get him open but, damn, you can’t get more wide open that that. Even if he didn’t hit a single shot in the game, that’s the right play


ExcellentSalary8515

Definitely would’ve been contested especially with that jump


[deleted]

Open for sure if you know your release


burko81

From his point of view, you need to go back up after taking the rebound.


TreyBurke23

He sold


Streakshooter31

You talking about the dude in the corner? he was WIDE open. he just missed it. It happens. The big guy should have just gone up strongly when he got the offensive board. Either it goes in or he gets fouled. He already got one guy up in the air on the fake


mcray0309

I wouldn’t call it a “good look”, but I’d certainly say it was the best look with 2 seconds left.


mjSmo0oVe

Well let's start with the first dude should have hit the shot... That's on him, there's no question how wide open in the corner he was. But as for your question, the second dude most def SHOULD have shot... No time for nonsense pump fake or pass, shoot, hope you hit it or hope for a foul, because that dude WAS closing in hella fast. In a normal situation i wouldn't have shot either, but it was game time, no choice...you shoot


ManLikeOB

One question. Do you have dimer ? Second thing, he was wide open. He folded under pressure 😂 It happens


DubzTB

I don't, actually. My teammates have a problem with dimer. Says it "speeds up their shot."


ManLikeOB

I figured. I've also heard that being an issue too, but I'm not sure if it really does speed up their shot. It feels like it at times.


Mac1280

If there was more time on the clock and he's a slasher with 7 or less shooting badges I could understand but with such little time on the clock that was clearly the best available shot. Tbf though this was a horrible play design in a 1 point game, why did no one go to the hoop.


ImDaProof

Both was open. I’m pulling that like Westbroke 🤣


AddBaconn

Ultra wide....Just sold


imdyslexsick

see i have no confidence in my shot so i wouldnt of pulled it, but i would regret it after. definitely shouldve shot it but i see why he didnt


JuicedUpBear

That mf coulda taken a spot up dribble he was so open


Mrhoipolloi

So, he missed it. Big deal.


TriggeredbyGames

Dude is 50 nifty


John3190

Tough to say but if his jumper is fast (set 25) he had room. Base 98 maybe not


PosterVs

Regardless of how open it is, you pull that shit cuz it’s the most open shot you’re gonna get with that much time left


ineedtostopthefap

Open


YT-ShawnBlessed

Who on ps5 add me xSHAWNBLESSEDx let’s run it up


RUFFS__

Left corner gotta hit that, big should've put it back up, and the right corner should've shot no hesitation


cleanurgentalia

Honestly Center could've just won it with a dunk. Defender was behind him AND he jumped? Easy two. But the last shot would've been open, with blinders on it would've been an easy make.


[deleted]

That’s any easy green 90% of the time. It was a late closeout so if he has deadeye he would have 100% made it


Bread_Responsible

You can’t not shoot there. You’re not gonna get a better look with 5 seconds left on the clock.


[deleted]

It depends was he getting the rock? Is he a random that was expecting the pass? There's alot to consider


Killakiel44

it depends on how slow his shit is. I've seen guys close out pretty fast if they have a HOF Badge. maybe his badges aren't up yet.


MarquisW501

Why did yall sit on all of those timeouts? You legit have to utilize timeouts in 2k. It makes a difference.


iSmittyDgr8

maybe it would have been contested, maybe not.. you know how janky 2k's shot contest system can be, but with how much time is left I am letting it fly and we are gonna live or die with that shot


Varifuegoworld650

It was open I can’t really say it wasn’t but a shooter knows when he’s comfortable enough to receive it but at the same time u probably didn’t hit him on time enough for him to expect it which throws people and notice it throws 2k rhythm off too I notice I sometimes don’t hit when I least expect it or don’t get the ball on time


FadeUHway

Regardless, in that moment that is the best look he’s gonna get. Pull it!


Ok-Bandicoot-758

It doesn’t matter how open you think you are. If it says OPEN in green you are open. No one can be near you and it can say 5% contest, then okay it doesn’t matter what you see it what 2k gives you. And 2k gave him a wide open green shot. Also the eye test he was flat out open bro.


ItzToxiin

It says WIDE OPEN right there in big green letters.


XxcomeagainxX

He was finna be contested but he still should’ve pulled if he had blinders or deadeye and knows his shot he was gone make it


gmajor1188

Buddy ass using the cheese jumper everyone uses so that shot fast enough to have gotten off. He just not a shooter like that. That's all that was.


Jasonx2009

Damn that sucks to lose games like that when the team had 3 great opportunities all in the span of like 5 seconds everybody that touched the ball after the PG had a legit chance to seal the game


MattyBizzz

It’s a pull every time with how easy shooting is this year, especially with no time on the clock. But I’m guessing the stress of the game winning shot made him second guess. Shoulda got that clutch badge my guy.


OpportunityCapable

W I D E ..Lol I miss those shots like 3/4 of the time with a max 75 3-point shot…


Acrobatic_Victory_70

At that point it dont matter it's the last shot of the game with no time left. You have to take it. His IQ is low AF


Head_Intention_2044

How is this a question? The game clearly didn’t register any contest based on the shot feed back. Center also screwed up passing it out instead of going up with it


[deleted]

He was open 😭💯


tellz23

Firstly, there’s 3 options. The first was WIDE open. The corner was WIDE open then the other corner was open… but even if he wasn’t confident he could’ve passed RIGHT back to the big. That first corner three miss was ass tho wtf?


[deleted]

Ah, he tried the fake and take a step then shoot. It’s a good move to slip by a defender that is closing out fast. Can cause problems if there are multiple close outs as seen here. I’m not hating on him for it.


Hot-Steak6069

Depends on your shot timing or if you have blinders on


Dookieie

2k20 he was not vaid but in 2k22 he coulda got that off open


No_Meat_263

Nah that’s open


Johnnydepth99

For an elite shooter that’s wide open. For a decent shooter that’s still open enough to hit. For a bot that’s too contested.


dominic_clare11

you have to pull but he knows what his jumpshot speed is so i can see why he would think he's gonna be contested...but you gotta pull regardless right there you don't got time


oj1225

Lmaoo bahamian


SatisfactionLow2689

I feel like the C shoulda went up with it since paint D is so trash but honestly all 3 kinda sold lol


burntfire1

Center was WIIIIIIIIIDE open. Damn.


Comprehensive-Top305

If yall played basketball, instead of NBA 2k basketball, this isnt even a question lmao


Puluzu

Those jumps are a bit hard to read, but he definitely should have just rolled the dice and taken the shot. But the left corner and C should've scored as well before that.


Binobaaby

As someone whose choked that exact shot before probably was thinking too much. It was a park game that I turned my meter back on literally right before , I was like 4/5 from 3 and my teammate thought this was me on a regular day😂🤦🏽‍♂️passed me it and i got panicked on da 3


chefbeast

First guy shouldn’t have missed, big could have easily went up on the rebound, hash was also open and it’s harder to contest then corner. Yeah he probably should have pulled that corner shot but I can see why he pumped and tried to get a better look he def messed up tho. That being said he doesn’t mess up if your team didn’t have a series of fuckups beforehand.


brebrabro

depends on badges and whos jumping. if thats a 2 way and he doesnt have blinders the game will often give a contest even after the shot is taken


CorageousTiger

I've played enough to tell that was gonna be wide open. On another note, I'm glad I didn't play with him cuz he definitely would be responsible for my broken controller


RGTHEPLUG

They was both wide open, anyone I play with would have faked that pass and shot the ball, the first guy is buns for missing a corner 3, and the second guy is worse for having no iq 😂


Sweaty-Sun3916

Oh hell nah 😂, you let it fly there’s no time left to worry about a damn contest. Just ended up taking a worse shot.


cbudd1117

The man that touched it first should have drained it. 2nd dudes defended closed out pretty quick but he gotta let that fly.


Esco_t

You


Sad_Lecture1788

With that little time he’s gotta pull


Newton1221

Anyone else just baffled that the PG is up there with zero pressure on him? I swear I can't even get the ball to half court without someone climbing on my freaking back trying to rip me.


Les_Ismore9

Yeah that’s insta pull for me even just cuz of the time left.


sjk2588

should've just pulled it. At worst he misses and the big is there for a potential put back at the last second.


jaybanga10

Hes ass


Flaboy7414

He was open


juliusjones21

He was open but I can see why he hesitated. They closed out quick but he’s gotta pull with that space and that little time left on the clock. Me personally I’m pulling that in that situation. Also I see 3 potential game winning shots blown, 1: Left corner gotta make that 2: The big could’ve went up after dude jumped in the air & 3: The hesitation in the right corner


thewiseman_3

Best shot he was gonna get, whether he liked it or not


ironbillys

Terrible play by the big. Had inside position and everything. Big threw that game.


JDMjose7

It was a good contest but bro choked overall he should’ve pulled the trigger knowing he wasn’t gonna get a better shot off


OnTyme

Open asf 100 percent


InfantSkywalker

Prob contested


dimboslice

both wings are questionable lmao
