Make sure you get the most out of NBA Rush by reading through our top 10 tips/tricks/cheats!

1. Master Your Jumps Accordingly

You’re gonna have to master the art of jumping if you’re looking to get very far in this game. Time them right and you’ll always get rid of those aliens with the shredder blades swirling around them with no trouble. Don’t try to jump and land on one with some late, mistimed jump. You’re only setting yourself up for a failed attempt that will end your run faster than you expected. Hit those jumps real clean and you’ll not only earn more points, but you’ll find yourself reaching higher platforms that hold the items you seek to collect.

2. Stay on the Path of Those Coins to Stay Safe

When you spot a nice stream of coins following each other as you collect them all, then make sure you stay on the that path as you pick them up. Running through a nice little stream of extra coins means you won’t have to deal with any aliens dropping on your players.

3. Save Your Coins and Diamonds for the Draft

Use all those coins and diamonds you collect to save up for some of those really high class players for your ever expanding squad. Your diamonds should go towards getting some of the more celebrated NBA athletes that you know are worth spending your time with. If you happen to get the same player twice, then that players’ stats double up.

4. The Rocket Power Up is a Coin Collecting Beast

One of the best power up’s to get your hands on is the rocket boost. Do everything in your power to get your hands on the rocket power up because it helps you pick up a great amount of coins in no time. You’ll always get a healthy amount of coins without too much effort if you that rocket strapped to your players.

5. Mange Your Players At All Times

TouchTapPlay.com noted that you should always keep a close eye on your best three players at all times:

It will probably be some time before you get to have a huge roster of players to chose from, but always make sure that you have the best three in your team. I would recommend having the one with the best stats as the first player since you will play with him the most. And always look at the ones you already have in order to equip the best.

6. Pick Up Those Diamonds As Soon As You Seem Them

Coins are cool, yeah. But you always need to get your player near those diamonds because they’re way more beneficial to your overall progress in the game. Go ahead and sacrifice you current run if you happen to spot any diamonds laying around. They’ll pay off in the end.

7. Destroy Those Shredder Aliens in Succession By Getting Out of the Air Quickly

When you take to the air and hop on those shredder aliens, you’ll sometimes notice that they’re placed at different distances within the proximity of each one. If you want to keep your run going, make sure you land on the ground as quickly as possible if you spot another shredder alien coming up in your direction. Don’t take too long to land back on solid Earth if any shredder alien looks like it will hurt you while you’re still airborne.

8. Dodge Those Damned Flying Bombs

TouchTapPlay.com also listed some advice on those flying bombs that get in your players’ way:

The bombs that keep flying until eventually crashing and trying to make your life miserable. Keep an eye on those and try to anticipate as much as possible where they will land. Try to stay in open areas as much as possible to make last second evasion measures possible.

9. Stay Attention to Those Powerups on the Road

WriterParty.com noted that you should always keep your eyes out for those pickup laying all over the road:

Watch out for pickups other than just coins. Oftentimes you can find a diamond in the middle of a stage, at the very end of a coin run. Other times, you will find a 2X bonus that will rapidly increase the speed at which your score increases. Also, look for the gold NBA logo for your daily bonuses.

10. Side Swiping 101

WriterParty.com also listed some info on all the different ways you can move from side to side:

Swiping from side to side can be done in slides and jumps, too, not just when you’re running. This is especially effective for avoiding obstacles, but also for knocking off shredder aliens from odd angles. Since you oftentimes need to jump onto shredder aliens in order to get enough of a boost to land on top of a bus with coins on it, this can be important.
