NBA 2K21 is going to be the franchise's weirdest entry yet, as the NBA season is still continuing in the Orlando bubble due to COIVD-19 and that title will move to next-gen consoles when released. This means you'll likely see differences between current and next-gen versions of games, including how controls are handled.
Below you can see the basic and advanced commands that you will need to memorize to manage attack / defense, shooting, passing, defending against the ball, etc., depending on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One layouts . It'll be the same on PC if you're using a PS4 or Xbox controller, but for details on Nintendo Switch you'll need to look in the game menu.
For example, you can also open the Options menu while playing a game and click on controls, where you'll see a visual representation of the buttons you need to use to perform each move.
