About King Of NYC
King Of NYC is the Jalen Brunson style, a Power Forward playmaker from the King of NYC Style + Zone update of 20 June 2026. It was rolled at 0.25% per spin (1% with Lucky Spins), about 400 normal spins on average, and its page now states that it is currently unobtainable. The wiki's meta note puts it among the best styles at the moment, because of its offense.
Redline (C, 60 seconds) is a flurry of dribbles followed by a left or right dash and shot that briefly stuns opponents. Counter Step (V) turns and dashes around the opponent in front of you, stunning only them. Clash, off the ball, is a rough steal that needs a WASD quick-time event, and failing it trips you and gets you ankle-broken. The awakening, King of New York., needs possession and adds Liberty Crown, 30 seconds of big speed and dribbling-speed buffs, plus Clutch, a standoff cutscene that shatters ankles for a huge three.
The Liberty zone speeds dribbling and layups, and in the 2-point area normal shots become free-moving floaters with a speed boost. Listed weaknesses: Redline is underwhelming and can be countered by uninterruptible blocks or steals.
