Where does Blinders fall on the 2k22 badge tier list?

Was Blinders patched ? To test Blinders we wrote a script to go to blacktop and have the ball handler take 1 step to the left off the check in. The defender has a rubber band on the right stick to maintain hands up defense. We then took 200 jumpers every 10 milliseconds throughout the green window for each badge level.
