A white gather circle means the dunk is effectively uncontested. https://playgroundbasketball-wiki.wiki/guides/defense/2026-10-26T21:15:54Zhttps://i.f-image.com/images/bc77c6c5-6eba-4659-ac40-ceb9ad1d76b6.jpgOn-Ball Defense, Steals, and Badge SetupsTrack the ball handler without holding contest, shade the live dribble hand, and steal when a hellspin or post twitch starts. Gold Clamps and 93 perimeter defense are the containment targets. https://playgroundbasketball-wiki.wiki/guides/passing-and-rec/2026-10-26T21:15:54Zhttps://i.f-image.com/images/bc77c6c5-6eba-4659-ac40-ceb9ad1d76b6.jpgPassing, Screens, and Rec RulesIcon-pass with the bumper, hold pass for a lob, and set screens by stopping in the defender's line.

Shorter guards buy speed and ball handle, 6'7" to 6'8" wings buy contests, and 7'0" centers buy standing dunks, post shots, or stretch shooting. https://playgroundbasketball-wiki.wiki/guides/badges-and-animations/2026-10-26T21:15:54Zhttps://i.f-image.com/images/b9b0a524-817a-420f-abc1-3441c3e3f1fa.jpgBadges, Jumpshots, Takeovers, and Green SoundsBadges unlock from attribute floors, then cost badge points from Bronze through Hall of Fame.
