NBA Ballers: How to Do an Alley-Oop

NBA Ballers: Do an Alley-Oop

NBA Ballers, a sports game released by Midway for the Xbox and PS2, emphasizes a street style of basketball. In the game, players can perform spectacular dunks and flashy moves--in order to score bonus points and get the crowd to root in their favor. One of the most devastating moves that can be performed is the "Alley-Oop" dunk. There are two forms of this special dunk.

Instructions

Solo Alley-Oop (PS2)

1. Press the "triangle" button to initiate the Alley-Oop pass from within the basketball key, or with your back turned away from the basket, outside the three-point line.

2. Move your player close to the basket with the directional pad or analog stick once the basketball has been released.

3. Press the "triangle" button a second time to execute the dunk.

Crowd Alley-Oop (PS2)

1. Press the "x" button to pass the ball to a member of the crowd spectating from the sidelines.

2. Move your player closer to the basket with the directional pad or analog stick.

3. Press the "x" button a second time to allow the crowd to pass the basketball back to you. Press the "triangle" button just as your player receives the ball, to perform an Alley-Oop dunk.

Solo Alley-Oop (Xbox)

1. Press the "Y" button to initiate the Ally-Oop pass from within the basketball key, or with your back turned away from the basket, outside the three-point line.

2. Move your player close to the basket with the directional pad or analog stick once the basketball has been released.

3. Press the "Y" button a second time to execute the dunk.

Crowd Alley-Oop (Xbox)

1. Press the "A" button to pass the ball to a member of the crowd spectating from the sidelines.

2. Move your player closer to the basket with the directional pad or analog stick.

3. Press the "A" button a second time to allow the crowd to pass the basketball back to you. Press the "Y" button just as your player receives the ball, to perform an Alley-Oop dunk.

Tips & Warnings

• Timing and positioning are critical. When completing the Alley-Oop, make sure your player is close enough to the basket to perform a regular dunk, and press the "triangle" (PS2) or "Y" (Xbox) button, just as the basketball reaches his hands.
