How to unlock the Aerial Assist Acrobat achievement in NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 - Definitive Guide
Once I figured out the timing on this achievement, I got it within 3 exhibition games.
When your team has the ball, hold LT like you would for a normal alley oop, and press A when your partner goes up into the air. As the pass hits his hands, tap A again (or tap it a few times which worked as well for me) and he will quickly pass it off again. As soon as that happens, hold X until the shot meter gets into the green area, and then release X. If the timing is right, the original player who made the first pass will run in and dunk the second pass. You likely wont get it right every time, but its not too bad once you get on a roll.
I did this with Steve Nash and Michael Jordan, so while players with higher dunk ratings will make it easier, it worked just fine with Nash as the dunker as well.

You can do this in any mode. However, its easiest to play a Quick Exhibition Game against your 2nd Controller and put a CPU on each team. This should only take about 2 matches.
- Hold to call for an Alley-Oop
- When your Teammate jumps in the air Pass it with
- Right when they catch it, Quickly Press again to pass it back to the original player
- Assuming you're close to the hoop. Your original player should jump up for the Double Alley-Oop
- Hold to dunk it. (Make sure to let go in the Green so you do not miss it)
- Rinse and Repeat 20x

This method is for those with two controllers. To make this fast and simple just load up an exhibition game with the second controller on opposing team, give them short players if possible and have 1 good dunker on your team or 2 if possible. Now start game press pause and go to tutorial and it will show you how to ally oop, self ally oop and double ally oop. Now every time the opponent gets the ball it will just stand still and let you steal at will if the cpu gets the ball it will switch to idle controller and stand still. This will allow you to play the entire match on your side of the court. Got this in one game.
A double alley-oop is when you toss it to your teammate to dunk and he throws it back to you for a dunk. As you approach the rim hold making your teammate flash as he jumps for the pass. As soon as you pass it to him press again to make him pass it back to you then hold and a shot meter will appear. Press when the meter is in the green and you should complete the double alley-oop. You can check your status in the achievement tracker. This is easily done with a second controller.
