Being able to dunk inNBA 2K24is not something every build can do. It will require a specific set of attributes and height. Some very crafty builds are useful but won’t be able to dunk at all. The worst is finding out this information until after burying a bunch of virtual currency in the MyPlayer with the issue.

Yet there is a second hurdle to clear even after being able to dunk. Dunking well inNBA 2K24requires using a specific animation that allows for the preferred slams to occur. These have specific requirements and if the MyPlayer doesn’t meet a threshold then the character might be able to dunk but won’t be able to dunk well or often.
