Both feet plant. You dunk in the paint. Rise Up is that standing finish. A drive that dunks on someone is Posterizer.
Current for the NBA 2K27 MyPLAYER Builder reveal.
Standing dunks in the paint
Rise Up is a returning Finishing badge. The official job is standing dunks in the paint.
If you took a gather dribble into the body, you left this page. If a teammate threw a lob, open Aerial Wizard.
| Dunk | Rise Up? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Standing dunk in the paint | Yes | Official job |
| Dunk on a defender while driving | No | Posterizer |
| Alley-oop dunk | No | Aerial Wizard |
| Putback dunk | No | Aerial Wizard |
| Contact layup | No | Physical Finisher |
Pogo is the second jump
A second jump right after you land is Pogo Stick. Rise Up is the dunk, not the rebound jump.
Is a one-step gather still Rise Up?
The official sentence is standing dunks. A moving gather is Posterizer or a layup name.
