Signature Moves for Small Point Guards

Before diving into combos, it’s important to select the right signature animations. For small point guards, the best signature size up is Stephen Curry’s. To equip this, you’ll need at least a 92 Ball Handle. If your build doesn’t reach that, Mike Conley’s signature size-up is a solid alternative.

Next, for behind-the-back dribbles, Stephen Curry’s move is ideal, but other great options include Kobe White, Zach LaVine, Shay Gilis-Alexander, Paul George, DeRozan, Jimmy Butler, and Trey Young-though Trey Young also requires a 92 Ball Handle.

For spins, Stephen Curry’s spin move is top-tier, with Steve Nash’s spin as a reliable backup if your ball-handling rating is lower. These moves form the foundation of any elite dribbling setup.

Speed Glitch Basics

The speed glitch is a game-changing move for small point guards, but it requires careful timing and the right body type. Your body type should be Balanced or Slender for the glitch to work. Tone builds will not trigger this move, so test your build first.

To perform the speed glitch:

1. Execute a Devon Booker stepback (the only stepback that works with this glitch).

2. As the ball switches hands, hold your left stick top left or top right, depending on the ball’s hand.

3. Timing is crucial-you must move as the ball is transferring, not after.

Once mastered, this move can be combined with the Devon Booker L2 cancel: run, flick your right stick up and down, and then execute the speed glitch out of the cancel animation for maximum efficiency.

Essential Combos

L2 Cancel

The L2 cancel is vital for all dribblers:

2. After running out of the escape, flick up on your right stick to trigger a stop animation.

3. Execute another escape back to your original hand, then run out.
