Protip: to make the shot meter bigger and easier to see, from the MyCareer pause screen go to:

From here you can do all kinds of customizations to make it bigger and better for you to hit green (or red or blue or whatever you prefer)
The third of the Streetball achievements in MyCareer mode, this one is available after completing Sunset Park and The Point. I have guides for both those up here:
Solution for Sunset Park In NBA 2K24
Solution for The Point In NBA 2K24
When the match begins and you get possession of the ball, dribble to the edge of the three point line and hold the LB. This calls your teammate for a pick, where they'll run up to the player guarding you and stand still next to them. What you want to do is hold RT and QUICKLY run to the other side of your standing still teammate and shoot a three, doing your best to hit a perfect release on the shot meter.
This takes a lot of practice to get the timing down, but if I can do it so can you. You'll get to the point where you can hit a three almost every single play with this method. The AI can't defend you and you'll be considered wide open, so the shot meter will have the same mercy on you as it does in career mode where you can have a guy hanging on you and still easily hit the three.
This is not my video, it belongs to a YouTube channel called Gaming Stress which is super appropriate for this achievement. This is the method in action:
Again, it takes a fair amount of practice to get the timing down since you have such a small window before the AI slips past the pick but it can be done!
When you're on defense, just stick close to your guy and hold LT the entire time for that extra tough defense. The AI is God Tier even on Rookie, they'll likely obliterate your defense but it doesn't really matter since you'll be outscoring them with threes. If you get really good at this you'll even start filling the Shut It Down meter and be able to end games early with the automatic Shut It Down mercy rule of this mode. You also will be filling up your Takeover meter and can activate Shooting Mode for extra help.
You'll also hit some shots that are PERFECTLY green and you'll still miss because this mode is trash. Don't let it discourage you, just keep at it with every possession and eventually the computer will decide to let the ball go in.
The Yard is a different set up than the previous tournaments as it only has three bosses, but you have to play them multiple times as they have different teammates each time. What's unfortunate is you also have to change your teammates each time and can't use the overpowered 5-O and Mr. Maybe to cruise to victory. The tournament is still easy with the pick method though, don't worry. These are the lineups I used for each boss:
Baron Buckets
Challenge 1 - The Hammer / Chicago Beef / Me
Challenge 2 - 5-O / Mr. Maybe / Me
Challenge 3 - The Yeti / Me / Rodney Rotten
The Moat
Challenge 1 - 5-O / Me / Mr. Maybe
Challenge 2 - The Yeti / Me / Rodney Rotten
Challenge 3 - The Hammer / Me / Chicago Beef
Challenge 4 - The Waiter / Me / Bear Hug
Jefe
Challenge 1 - The Yeti / Me / Rodney Rotten
Challenge 2 - The Hammer / Me / The Captain
Challenge 3 - 5-O / Me / Mr. Maybe
Challenge 4 - The Waiter / Me / Bear Hug
Challenge 5 - Chicago Beef / Dizzy Diaz / Me
The key here is you always want to go with a team of the biggest centers and forwards you can find so they can out-rebound your opponent and get you the ball back as soon as possible. The achievement will unlock immediately after beating the final challenge against Jefe.
