10 seconds left on the clock, you have the ball and your team is down by one. Quickly
you call a timeout, and while you’re trying to figure out what play you want to run, your
opponent John is typing in a little message for you. Seems that someone thinks this
game is in the bag.
No time to read his comments as they scroll by on the ticker, you need to concentrate.
The timeout’s up and you’ve got to inbound the ball.
9...8...7...
A quick look down low and your post-up player is double-teamed. The clock marches
down towards zero. Lose this game and you won’t be able to show your face tomorrow.
6...5...4...
You quickly scan the floor. If the big man is doubled on
the blocks, somebody’s gotta be open. There he is, the
shooting guard is all alone on the wing. A quick pass
cross-court and the ball is in his hands. He squares
up...the ball is in the air...
3...2...1...
Swish! Nothing but net!
You grab the keyboard and type frantically. “Only need-
ed a two but the trey works too. How’s it feel getting
beat out of state?”
Thank you for purchasing

NBA 2K1 is designed with analog functionality in mind. Analog
not only provides a much fuller range of motion, but also adds to
the overall depth of the game due to the level of precision
control it allows. But for you old-schoolers out there,
don’t worry. NBA 2K1 has got you covered as you
can use the D-Pad as well.
Note that the controls and tips offered on the fol-
lowing pages refer to NBA 2K1’s default con-
trols, but alternate control schemes are
available. To change the controller
schemes, go to the Game Options
–>Controller Menu. There you can
choose from a selection of alternate
control schemes.
To highlight and select specific menu
items, press the Analog Stick (or D-pad)
in the direction of the menu item until it
highlights. To select the highlighted item press
the A button. If you have questions when view-
ing most menus and screens, press the Y

>>>DIRECTIONAL PASSING : A
>>>ICON PASSING : Y
Here is a brief description of all your fundamental offensive plays. Master the basics and you’ll
be ready for advanced offense in a few pages.
You can pass to any of your teammates by pressing the analog stick in the direction of the
intended player, and then pressing A. Before you make the pass, make sure you have a lane to
get him the ball. You wouldn’t want to commit a turnover and wind up back on defense without
a score.
Use Icon Passing to guarantee that your pass goes to the right teammate. If you press the Y
button, pass icons appear above each of your teammates. When you’ve located the player you
want to pass to, press the corresponding button.
>>>COACH’S FILE
Icon Passing works great for getting the ball to the open man.
Here’s a table of which button corresponds to which teammate.
A Point Guard
B Shooting Guard
X Small Forward

>>>SHOOTING : X
Some people think that the crossover dribble is all flash and
no substance. Just hope that your friends think that way,
because you’ll be burning them all day until they figure it out.
You can also use the crossover to get the ball into your player’s other hand and away from a pesky defender trying to
make the steal. For maximum offense, hold turbo (R) and
press the B button for an evasive spin move
The way to shoot is by pressing and holding the X button. Once you release the button,
your player will release the ball. Try to release the ball at the top of your jump for the
best chance of making it.
9
>>>COACH’S FILE
The skills of the shooter you have will determine how critical nailing
the timing down on your shot [release] will be. If you’re controlling
a sharpshooter, the timing will be a bit more forgiving. If you’re
controlling a bricklayer who rides the end of the pine, your timing
will have to be perfect to have a good chance of sinking the shot.
Timing the Shot
Page 6
>>>BACKING DOWN : L
Here is a brief description of some of the advanced offensive plays. Master these and you’ll be
unbeatable.
Do you have a size advantage over your defender? Do you have great post - up
moves? Well then, hold down the L button while moving your player to back
your man down. Of course, if there’s no defender there, you can’t exactly
post anyone up! Once you’ve worked in close enough to the basket, press
the Shoot button (X) to put up a classic low post hook. Oh, and don’t for-
get the NBA post - up rule. You can only have your back to the basket for
five seconds.
>>>ADVANCED OFFENSE
11
>>>LAYUPS AND DUNKS : X
fold
>>>TURBO : R
>>>COACH’S FILE
Some players can dunk better than others and you should know who
they are. Head on out to the practice floor and take some shots.
Knowing who can take it to the hole will be helpful when you need to
penetrate the lane during a real game.
Learn your Players
A good rule of thumb is that if your player is standing
still or is far away from the basket when you press X,
you’re going to wind up taking a jump shot. But if
you’re closer in and moving to the hoop when you
press X, your player will try a layup or a dunk instead.
Turbo is just like it sounds, it makes you go faster. When the turbo button (R) is pressed,
your player will pick up speed and his momentum will carry him forward. In addition, combining turbo with other actions can result in more powerful moves:
Button Action w/ Turbo
B Crossover / Juke Spin Move

>>>COACH’S FILE
Another good scoring opportunity is the drop step shot. To
execute this move, get in a post-up battle and press X
while holding the analog stick left or right. Your player will
take a step in that direction and take the shot. The post
defender can attempt to counter this move by pressing X
and holding the stick in the same direction.

>>>PIVOT MODE

>>>ALLEY-OOP: D-pad + R
foldfold
12
Press the D-Pad then the right trigger button (R) to throw your teammate an alley-oop. Two things
to keep in mind about alley-oops:
1. You will ALWAYS throw an alley-oop pass regardless of whether or not your teammate is in
position to finish the play.
2. An alley-oop pass will ALWAYS be passed to your teammate that is closest to the basket
– so check to see who it is, and if he has an open lane.
>>>COACH’S FILE
If you see a teammate cutting to the basket and he’s waving his hand in the air,
he’s looking for an alley-oop pass. He doesn’t have to wave his hand for the
alley-oop to work, it’s just a good indicator that your man has a shot at the
bucket. Slamming home an alley-oop pass is a great way to show up your
friends online, but don’t get cocky! If your teammate doesn’t have a path to the
basket, you’re going to be looking at a turnover.
Alley-Oop
>>>PUMP FAKES
If you do not move your player upon receiving a pass, he will be in Pivot Mode. He will automatically attempt to protect the ball by shielding it with his body. Don’t wait too long though, a pesky
defender will be able to sneak in there over time.
To get an open shot, tap the Shoot Button (X) and pump fake the defender into the air. Your
shot has a much better chance of going in if you have a clean look at the basket.
>>>COACH’S FILE
To perform a “Show and Go,” try doing a pump fake, then when your defender
has gone for the fake, you can quickly drive around him to the basket. Of course,
you can’t perform a “Show and Go” if you’ve already picked up your dribble.

>>>TOUCH PASSING
>>>CLEARING OUT
>>>PASS OUT OF SHOT
>>>OFFENSIVE CONTROLS
Press the A button to pass the ball to your teammate. Then, before he receives the ball, tap the
pass button (A) again to execute a touch pass. Touch passing is a useful way to get the ball
quickly around the floor to the open man.
After you grab a rebound, press the B button repeatedly BEFORE YOU
LAND. This will cause your player to “clear out” the defenders around you
and is a good way to keep defenders away from the ball as you land.
You can make a pass in the middle of a jump shot, layup, or rebound. To
make the pass, first press the X button to start the shot or rebound, then
press the A button to pass. You must roll your finger from the shoot button
over to the pass button to execute this move. If you release your finger
from the shoot button before pressing pass, the shot will be released or
you will come down with the rebound before you can get rid of the ball.

You can create a mismatch by calling for a pick.
If you do a good job of rubbing the defender off
on the pick, the loose defender will pick you up.
You can use this to get a fast guard matched
up with a slow forward or get your center
matched up with a guard that he can punish
in the paint

>>>BLOCKING : X
>>>LAST DEFENDER : Y
Here is a brief description of all your fundamental defensive plays. Master the basics and you’ll
be ready for advanced defense in a couple of pages.
Swapping allows you to switch to the player closest to the ball- handler. The purpose of swapping
is to always give you a chance at making the defensive play by selecting the player with the best
chance of stopping the offense.
Press the B button to attempt a steal. You must get your hand on the ball to knock it away or else
you’ll be called for a reach-in foul. Once you’ve gotten the ball away from the offense, push the ball
up the court.
For the best chance at getting a steal, try facing up the ball - handler by pressing
the L Trigger and then the Steal button (B).
A good way to stop the offense is by blocking the shot (X). For your best chance at blocking a
shot, press and release “X” at the same time as the offensive player. Having a shot-blocking center like Shaq or a dominant power forward like Tim Duncan can be a big plus. Holding turbo (R)
while pressing “X” will cause your player to attempt a “swat” block, further increasing your
chances of blocking the shot but also your chance of committing a foul.
This will give you the player closest to the basket. This is a particularly useful button when you
need to defend against a breakaway rush. It is also helpful when you want to gain control of one
of your low post defenders

Home Advantage
If you’ve got the home court advantage, you can rattle your
opponents when they’re at the line. Just tap the X button
to get your crowd pumped up, and watch the power of distraction go to work.
NBA 2K1 uses the innovative Free Throw system that NBA 2K developed last year. The trick
to successful Free Throw shooting is to press both the L and R triggers simultaneously and
also at the same level for each. When you have managed to line the arrows together over the
basket, press Shoot (X) to release your shot.
If you need a little help from the charity stripe, head on over to Practice Mode and toggle the
“Practice” option to “Free Throw.” Then step up to the line and polish up so you can punish
rival teams for fouling your players.

>>>DOUBLE TEAMING
With the default control scheme you must call for an intentional foul. This is done by pressing
D -pad then the R Trigger. This does two things. First,it toggles the steal button to an intentional
foul button (for one play only). Second, it instructs all your computer - controlled teammates to
intentionally foul the ball- handler.
NOTE: there are alternate control schemes available that have intentional foul on a primary button
You can call for a double team at any time by pressing
the D-pad and then the L trigger. The nearest teammate
will switch from his man over to yours and help tighten
the defense on the ball- handler.
>>>DEFENDING PASSES
>>>DEFENSIVE SETS
This is the best position you can be in to stop a player from driving past you. It essentially
makes you a bigger object to get around. The disadvantage is that you have slower movement
in this lateral position. Pressing Turbo (R) will help compensate.
A good way to steal the ball is by closing the passing lanes. Jump in front of passes to deflect
them away from their target and into your possession – however, you need to be quick to pick
up the loose ball.
Press the D-Pad to bring up the menu and then press A, B, X, or Y to select the
corresponding defensive set:
A Full Court Press: Defenders pick up their man after the inbound pass
B Half Court Press: Defenders pick up their man at the half court line
X Half Court Trap: Defenders try to trap the ball handler at the half court line
Y Half Court Set: Instructs players on your team to set up in a basic defense
>>>COACH’S FILE
So what’s the difference between a charge and a block? NBA rules say
you have to have your feet set. So how do you set your feet? By making
sure the analog stick is dead center at the moment of contact. If you’re
moving the stick you’ll get called for blocking, If you’re set and the stick
is in the middle, the offense will get called for a charge.

When you are being posted up, watch for the
player to make his move. When you see him
start to spin left or right, push your stick in the
same direction and press the block button. If
you time it right you can block or at least affect
the shooter’s shot.

whether or not the opponent has a keyboard plugged in. The game mode filter lets you “autodecline” based on the game type to which you are challenged.
NOTE: WHAT’S MY RATE??? The rate bar describes the connection speed between you and your
opponent(s). Therefore, you have no individual rate. Instead, you have a unique rate between you
and each opponent.
CREATE PLAYER
Whether you want to create a 7-foot, shot-blocking, slam-dunking monster-in-the-middle or just re-create a hot college prospect, you can do it
here. Scale each individual body part, shape the face any way you want,
and distribute the attribute points to find the perfect fit for your team.
To make things easier for you, there are three groups of pre-set attributes to asist you in the player create process.
CREATE TEAM
You can create up to two created teams and store them on your
VMU. Pick a logo, give your team a name, a home city and pick
a playbook. Then assign players to your created team’s roster.

COACHING MOVES
From this menu, you can take control of your team. You can
assign defensive pressure, assign your defenders to guard certain people, or call for the double team. It’s your team, so you
make the call.
TIMEOUTS
When you see the momentum begin to shift on you (ie. the other team
is scoring unanswered points) call a timeout (START button) to get your
team back into the swing of things.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Keep your lineup fresh and out of foul trouble. Substitute in any of your
bench players. You can make single- player moves, change a couple of
players, or swap the whole team. Press L and R to scroll through the available lineups.
Allen Iverson has made his mark on the spor t by consistently matching impressive shooting with an unprecedented intensity. Hailing from
Hampton, Virginia, Allen began playing organized basketball at the age
of nine, earning the nickname “the Answer” due to his knack for
solving disputes on the court. Allen became Philadelphia’s
“Answer” when he signed with the 76ers in 1996. Entering
the league with the same explosive power as his 40-inch vertical leap, Allen quickly established himself as a premier NBA
backcourt threat and was named Schick Rookie of the Year.
Last year, Allen continued to excel, leading his team to the
second round of the Playoffs for the second year in a row.
Now, at the start of the 2000- 01 NBA season, Allen is
back 100% and poised to lead his team to the Playoffs
once again.
