    Turn all fouls off and have your Point Guard keep pressing to poke the ball away to get a steal.
  • Win the rebound battle by a margin of +7 with any team.

  • Make 15 three pointers or more with any team.

    Best way to do this is with a player with a High 3PT%. Player's that have high 3PT% are Kobe Bryant or Ray Allen. If you are having problems you can always change the sliders in your favor.

If you are unable to get this on your own feel free to adjust the sliders in your favor.
  • Score at least 15 fastbreak points with any team.

  • Record 20 assists with no more than 5 turnovers with any team.
