Can you win an NBA championship in 2K25 by only shooting threes? We took on the ultimate challenge to find out.
In NBA 2K25, basketball isn’t just about playing the game—it’s about thinking outside the box. In this challenge, we set out to win an NBA championship while only shooting three-pointers.
No dunks, no layups, no mid-range shots—just pure long-range bombs. The objective was simple: build a team of the greatest 3-point shooters and see if they could outgun the rest of the league.
Here’s how we built the ultimate 3-point shooting team and dominated our way to the championship in NBA 2K25.
The Challenge: Only Three-Point Shots Allowed
The rules for this challenge were strict: every shot taken in the game had to be a three-pointer. No two-point field goals, no free throws, and no exceptions.
To win, I needed a roster stacked with elite long-range shooters. But, as anyone who’s played NBA 2K25 knows, putting together the right team involves more than just picking names—you need to consider trades, contracts, and cap space while still keeping your team competitive.

Step 1: Assembling the 3-Point Powerhouse
Stephen Curry – The Anchor
The obvious first choice for this team was Stephen Curry, the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history. Landing Curry became the top priority, and after some smart trades involving players like Chet Holmgren and Brandon Ingram, Steph was officially the team’s leader.
Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant – Championship DNA
No 3-point-only team would be complete without Klay Thompson. Adding him alongside Durant recreated the dynamic, unstoppable duo from the Golden State Warriors’ golden era. Durant’s versatility and Thompson’s consistent shooting made them essential pieces to this team.
Role Players with Range
Next, I needed shooters who wouldn’t break the bank. Enter Seth Curry, who not only brings elite shooting but also gives a morale boost when playing alongside his brother, Steph. Other key pickups included Paul George, whose ability to shoot from deep and play solid defense provided the team with balance, and Nas Reed, a three-point shooting big man.
Step 2: Mastering the Trade Game
Building the perfect 3-point shooting team meant making tough decisions. I traded young stars like Brandon Ingram to gather assets that could bring in top-tier shooters. The key was landing affordable players who could still drain threes at a high level. I brought in Isaiah Joe, a lethal shooter with an A+ 3-point rating, and Al Horford, a veteran who could defend and stretch the floor.
In NBA 2K25, trades are the backbone of building a super team. I sacrificed size and post play for range and shooting efficiency, focusing all my efforts on gathering the best 3-point shooters.
Step 3: Simulating the NBA 2K25 Season
With the team assembled, it was time to put them to the test. I adjusted every player’s tendencies to make sure they only shot three-pointers. The first game of the season was a huge success: we made 38 field goals, and 36 of them were from beyond the arc. Paul George drained 11 threes in the opener, and it set the tone for the season.
As we moved through the season, Steph Curry set a new record with 649 made threes, while Kevin Durant added 618. Even our center, Nas Reed, contributed 350 threes, proving that this strategy was more than viable—it was dominant.
Step 4: The Playoffs – Testing the Strategy
The regular season was impressive, but the real test came in the playoffs. We faced elite teams with powerful big men like Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo, but our relentless barrage of threes kept us ahead. Opponents couldn’t keep up with the scoring pace, and even when we struggled on defense, our shooting from deep always bailed us out.
In the Finals, we faced off against a strong Warriors team led by Anthony Davis. They had size and experience, but our three-point shooting was unstoppable. Steph Curry and Kevin Durant led the charge, and by the end, we proved that a team built entirely around long-range shooting could win it all.
Dominating NBA 2K25 with Threes
This NBA 2K25 3-point-only challenge wasn’t just about breaking records—it was about rethinking how the game is played. By focusing entirely on shooting threes, we built a team that could outscore anyone and dominate the competition. With Stephen Curry leading the way and a roster full of sharpshooters, we not only won the championship but redefined what’s possible in NBA 2K25.
If you’re looking for a new way to dominate in NBA 2K25, give the 3-point-only challenge a try. Build your roster, trade smart, and let it fly from deep!
