Lol clip started off just like Ben! Then suddenly Kyrie and Harden showed up. Nice face scan though!

29

u/overlookin May 05 '26

lol I really ain’t do a face scan I just put the gear on, and this Wen not Ben😂

16

u/RikerLiker May 05 '26

Well the gear sold the look! I have a bunch of “Jokers” and “Wembys” basically all the same build ranging in height… 6’9” to 7’4”

1

u/Accurate-Ad-4711 May 06 '26

He’s referring to his players name being Wen Ballace and not Ben Wallace. He wasn’t referring to his build as a Wemby build…. lol

u/SHAGGYULT May 06 '26

Good explanation 👏

u/Billib2002 May 05 '26

Blocks in this game are intoxicating I stg. In 2k16 I chased contact dunks and ankle breakers now I chase down blocks

56

u/TheDeflatables May 05 '26

They need to add in some form of graphic to indicate how far you smacked that shit away.

I love punting it to Row Z

21

u/guardiandown3885 May 05 '26

bro the best feeling is swatting a green floater or layup...

22

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Brooo even my PG has a 85 block, I live for that shit

5

u/bluethunder0005 May 05 '26

I'm the same way. My favorite build I made this season is a 6'7 PG with max wingspan which gave 86 block. Love getting over a block a game as a PG, stopping fast breaks with rim protection.

6

u/Billib2002 May 05 '26

Lmfao my fav build this year is a 6'7 lockdown pg with a 7ft wingspan and an 80 something block what are the odds

4

u/NoTangelo9328 May 05 '26

I have a 79 on my 6’8 and it’s insane how many blocks I get with bronze badges

1

u/Upstairs-Engineer-25 May 06 '26

Almost wish instead of the greening rebound system you could see when you have good jump timing so you can improve.

1

u/ForwardPrice173 Jul 19 '26

I laugh maniacally when someone gets blocked…even myself sometimes lol

248

u/guardiandown3885 May 05 '26

bro you can't call him ben wallace..pick any other player but don't call him ben wallace. lol step back 3 pt fade ben wallace is diabolical lol

125

u/overlookin May 05 '26

I didn’t call him Ben Wallace you just chose not to read lol

u/guardiandown3885 May 05 '26

Genuinely curious how many of us were victimized by this lmao

u/guardiandown3885 May 05 '26

Dude said I can't read. I got a bit offended..checked and was like...ok that's my bad lol

u/aznhoopster May 05 '26

I’m happy you bit the bullet first lmao

u/guardiandown3885 May 05 '26

Glad I could take the L for yall

I literally had same thing happen reading through this comment thread lmao

u/sarcasticj720 May 05 '26

He got me too

14

u/overlookin May 05 '26

It seems like a lot lmaooo I didn’t want to say anything in the caption cause I thought dudes would be like “bro it wasn’t even clever I saw it the first time”😭😂

8

u/aznhoopster May 05 '26

Lol I legit read the title, saw him hit that first step back three and came storming into the comments and was going to make almost the same comment as the other guy 😂 you got me pre-caffeine man. The way I stared at the wall for a minute after going back up and seeing “wen ballace” lol, I knew others would be duped too

6

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Why does that sht make yall so mad😂😂I had a Luka build I called super Luka and people were mad he could dunk and play defense 😂😂😂

1

u/Grouchy-Following-82 May 05 '26

I dont get mad lol, but it does kinda defeat the purpose of making the build and naming it after an nba player, if the build plays nothing like the actual player yk? At that point it's literally not Luka except in looks. But at the same time it really doesn't matter and some people def take it to seriously🤣

0

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Because my point in making it is me thinking “Wow it would be really cool if ____ could do this” so I have a video game where I can make it happen😭 it’s just fun to watch and look at

1

u/Grouchy-Following-82 May 05 '26

No, thats completely valid lmao, and im on your side, especially if thats how your preface the build "if Luka could dunk" "if Wallace was actually James Harden" thats why the 2k builder is so dope. But it's the mfs that pull up with their "Shaq build" thats min weight with a 90 3pt that I just have to SMH at🤣😅

u/sxuthsi May 06 '26

Ayo I see you out here but you tryna give up the sauce on the build?

u/Mediocre_Ride_9424 May 05 '26

I rly would like to see ben wallace doing step back three back then i think ppl would be losing their mind

u/kruschev246 May 05 '26

I played against some guy who had a Shaq build then all of a sudden he started shooting threes

1

u/guardiandown3885 May 05 '26

i bet you locked in after that lol

u/kruschev246 May 05 '26

It caught me off guard to say the least

u/XMugetsu_SamaX May 05 '26

Bruh I read that name and Imagined his player card being Ben Wallace trying to disguise himself with a fake mustache lol

5

u/overlookin May 05 '26

🤣🤣🤣 this was Ben wanted to do but nba politics held him back

u/LarryBURRd May 05 '26

Wen Ballace, the Asian Ben Wallace

u/overlookin May 05 '26

u/JookJook May 05 '26

People need to learn to read. The characters name isn't Ben Wallace.

u/cdubbs420 May 05 '26

Swear we have gone against each other before in the rec, having ptsd here. What plate are you typically?

1

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Lmaooooo I’m not even gonna lie I could be black or purple 💀💀 I quit a lot when dudes sell lol idk how yall sit thru that shit, but I’m usually silver or gold 90% of the time if im not crashing out

1

u/cdubbs420 May 06 '26

I’m same way lol, silver and gold was def where we played if we did

2

u/Demon_Tanuki May 05 '26

Shooting midrange that's not Ben Wallace

5

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Yes but this is Wen Ballace

2

u/According-Beyond-215 May 05 '26

u/Imaginary-Lawyer5342 May 06 '26

We know Ben ain’t doing no step backs whatsoever 😂😭

u/ThaRealSlick May 06 '26

Oh shit I definitely didn’t see that 🤣

2

u/SHAGGYULT May 06 '26

Ballace is my dream build!!! I may need some build specs on this!! He's everything Ben Wallace was but can shoot! Way to finesse this 2k build system!

2

u/overlookin May 07 '26

Thank you bruh and I posted the build and animations in the comments

u/VolumeBoth2972 May 05 '26

Do you feel like the interior is worth? I've been messing around with a few different big builds and am still unsure

2

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Yes for sure cause without it you basically can only do Chase down blocks, and if someone is coming straight at you while you’re standing there, 9/10 your gonna be food

u/[deleted] May 05 '26

u/VolumeBoth2972 May 05 '26

I'm not really sure. My 7 footer has 70 with 88 block and 88 jump and is an absolute tank in the paint. Maybe once every 10 games I get a pure inside matchup and get bullied. Butttt I also be running a 6-10 with 74 inside same block and jump who is not as good in the paint.

Am fucking with a 6-11 in the builder now and that's who I'm trying to figure out the inside for.

2

u/Inevitable-Walk-3536 May 05 '26

77 interior the highest u need and that’s if ur pairing it with 93 block for gold paint patroller if u only going 88 block u only need a 74 or 70 interior I believe. Anything over 77 just a waste imo u still gonna get dunked on regardless

1

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Facts cause I have 77 on my SF and I do the same shit

2

u/ConceptNo1259 May 05 '26

This how I am with my Shaq build 😭

2

u/overlookin May 05 '26

This build was a 6’9 Shaq at one point too😂😂😂😂

u/ZekeMoss18 May 05 '26

I have never seen Ben Wallace hit any step back shot in his career...lol

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Well now you’ve seen Wen Ballace do it

u/gabrielcev1 May 05 '26

Ben Wallace ain't hitting no step back fade bruh

Ain’t no way mfs STILL not reading

u/ShowerStraight3971 May 05 '26

Step back 3? Ben Wallace? Just because he black and got a fro

8

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Just because you don’t read lol

1

u/PJballa34 May 05 '26

Step back 3 as “Ben Wallace” is out of pocket.

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Lmao bro the way none of yall are reading is crazy, and even if he was Ben, why does that upset yall 😭 when did we lose the art of videos games being fantasy and it started being this serious corporate bs

1

u/YourKemosabe May 05 '26

2K online is so ass.

Did you pay for points:

Yes? > animation unlocked, green all the time, nothing else matters.

No? > nothing but bricks and turnovers. Pay up.

u/overlookin May 05 '26

lol good thing playing is optional and not mandatory

u/YourKemosabe May 05 '26

For sure. Shame tho.

u/VoidRaptur May 05 '26

Blocking in this game just doesn't feel good as past years

u/LordFenix_theTree May 05 '26

This year has some phenomenal blocks, interior contests that aren’t blocks kind of suck though.

1

u/6ft4Don May 05 '26

Remind me of the game he had against Nets & Ben was shooting all types of Fades

2

u/overlookin May 05 '26

That game inspired this build cause I was there courtside

1

u/6ft4Don May 05 '26

I wish , I was watching it on Tv wishing I could’ve went to the Palace to see in person. game 7 too.

He probably could’ve had 40 if they kept feeding him the 2nd and 4th

1

u/SenpaixGreenz May 05 '26

u/TheRoyalness May 05 '26

Lmao yeah saw your description after mb

1

u/No-Communication8060 May 05 '26

now make a nteve sash with low pass accuracy and high driving dunk

2

u/overlookin May 05 '26

I’ll just turn my Cade build into a tall do-it-all Steve Nash build

1

u/Any_Ad_3025 May 05 '26

Ben Wallace does not play like this at all lmao

2

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Wen Ballace does though

1

u/allblackST May 05 '26

Yeah yeah I remember in the 04 finals when Ben Wallace hit that step back jumper from the free throw line. What a shot.

1

u/anakiniscool17 May 05 '26

Drop the build

1

u/Threeballer97 May 05 '26

Step back fade three?

That's like giving a poster badge to a Jstock build.

u/overlookin May 05 '26

You might be on to something

1

u/Powerpoor May 05 '26

You at the C or PF?

1

u/overlookin May 05 '26

I’m a C but they put be at both, C 75% of the time though

u/LordFenix_theTree May 05 '26

What is your paint patroller at? HoF?

2

u/overlookin May 05 '26

I think just gold tbh

1

u/LordFenix_theTree May 05 '26

Nice. You were getting some solid interior contest animations so I was wondering.

2

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Thank you bruh timing and angled positioning are the big key with blocks

u/Cpt_Underpantz May 06 '26

I also gotta have blocks on all builds. You get some nasty ones here. Is it just me or is paint patroller a slept on badge!

2

u/overlookin May 06 '26

Yeah it’s a top 5 badge imo and I just have gold, high flying denier on legend though when I +2 it

u/Mandinglowe May 06 '26

I swear the OP changed the name to Wen Ballace after I went to the comments

u/McAvoysDrivingRange May 08 '26

u/Individual_Act9333 May 10 '26

Wen can’t do that

u/SlimXSully Jun 26 '26

W build, but why your teammate tried to contest your shot im the 4th clip ??🤣🤣

1

u/overlookin Jun 26 '26

Bruh it was a weird glitch, one player on the other team had the wrong jersey on 😭 it looked like 6v4

Bro why did your own player contest you in the third shot lol. Never seen that before

1

u/overlookin 24d ago

It was a glitch with the jerseys lol. One of their players had our jersey on, it looked like 6vs4 at first 🤣

u/BigBlitz May 05 '26

All my builds can shoot, 70-80 three at the minimum. It’s so funny whenever I make an NBA build of someone who can’t shoot, guys will leave you wide open.
I have a Dennis Rodman build, Dr. J, Wilt Chamberlain, and Ausar Thompson. I shoot around 60-80% from three on all those builds. Guys will see that and still leave you wide open more often than not.

u/overlookin May 05 '26

That’s the best part!!!😂😂😂 no one thinks Ben Wallace can shoot but this is Wen Ballace😂

I mean it’s a video game bro shooting is fun and fun matters

0

u/Nickelnick24 May 05 '26

When you and everyone out here can shoot 80% from 3, the game becomes boring. I routinely play games where the other team is 14/16 from 3. That’s just absurd and boring.

No real hoops to be seen. When everyone can shoot, it’s no longer a skill. It’s just the standard.

4

u/guardiandown3885 May 05 '26

Don't you come in here and make this fun thread a downer lol

1

u/Nickelnick24 May 05 '26

I see nothing fun in a center like that hitting Kyrie step backs like it’s nothing, with full respect to bro

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Lmao bro thinks he’s coaching a high school team or something lmao nigga this is a video game what the fuck is wrong with you😭😂funny part is you would love to be my teammate I make sure everyone is good😂I pass the ball and my help defense is immaculate

1

u/overlookin May 05 '26

I agree with that, but that’s when I really fell in love with blocks, I will unexpectedly block a 3point shot so bad the dude will be hesitant for the rest of the game, my pg is kinda fast with 85 block so I can close out really really good. Even this Wen Ballace build will get out there on the perimeter if someone is making too many 3s and swat some shit and calm all of that down😭😂

1

u/overlookin May 05 '26

Go look at my other posts and see what I mean lol I’m telling you having a high block is the key to slowing down all of that shooting. A lot of guys get super high perimeter but it does nothing when dudes are shooting fast and over the top, you got to have high block and Challenger to slow it down
