NBA 2K25 – All Dunk Requirements

NBA 2K25 - All Dunk Requirements

As a seasoned baller with years of hoops under my belt, I can tell you that mastering the art of the dunk is no small feat. It requires skill, strength, and a whole lotta hops! However, even after nailing the requirements for that sweet alley-oop or rim-rocking slam, it’s not like they just hand you the animation on a silver platter. Nah, you still gotta fork over some Virtual Currency (VC) to get those animations in your arsenal. But hey, when you see your player soaring through the air and slamming it home, trust me, every penny spent will be worth it!


Whether you are making a pure shooter build or a cutter to the rim, it is always wise to consider adding some flair into your player. And nothing shouts flair quite like making a statement with a powerful dunk in NBA 2K25. However, not all athletes are made equal, and if you are planning to see just where your current stats can take you in terms of the dunking game, this guide to all dunk requirements in NBA 2K25 will set you up nicely whether you are looking to emulate a legendary player like LeBron James or someone just starting out

All Dunk Requirements in NBA 2K25

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that when it comes to choosing dunk animations for my player, it’s not as simple as layups. Factors like height and stats come into play, and the context of where you’re playing or if there’s contact during the drive can significantly influence your options. Here are some things to keep in mind:
