About Referee
Referee, a Point Scorer, arrived with its Technical zone alongside The Great Rebalance on 3 October 2025, and the wiki says it was previously a Miracle style. The wiki lists it at 0.25% per spin (1% with Lucky Spins, though the infobox says 2.02%). It is filed under unobtainable styles and can reappear through the Sneaky Black Market.
Book Dunk (C, 60 seconds) is a quick dribble and a jump off a book into a dunk, usable from the 3-point line. Foul, played off the ball, stops any shot by an opponent inside a white sphere. Bench (V, 60 seconds) is a fast dribble that stuns nearby opponents briefly, which the wiki compares to Gold's Street Dribble. The awakening, REF DO SOMETHING!, needs you off the ball and unlocks You Ladies Alright?, a cutscene dribble past two defenders that ends in a dunk from half court, and 3-Step Shot.
Technical gives a 33.3% chance to disable an opponent's ability for 5 seconds when they use it, plus faster movement on defense and 10% shorter cooldowns. The wiki's meta note calls Referee a very good overall style, with a small defensive radius as its main flaw.
