The major complaint new players have inNBA 2K24when it comes to dunking is how rarely it happens. the dunk is the most exciting way to score in basketball and yet slashers with great attributes will find that their character pulls out of a dunk and into a layup almost all of the time.

The reason for this is most often the dunk animations. The standard package is not just boring but it refuses to contact dunk and it’s so slow that defenders will close out on it quickly. When that happens, the dunk will automatically become a layup instead.NBA 2K24has some great dunk packages to equip.
Ja Morant
Under 6'10", Driving Dunk 89+, Vertical 68+
Russell Westbrook is one of thebest point guardsand his unrivaled speed results in multiple extra dunks for slashers that prefer to drive to the hoop. For those who want to hang on the rim, it doesn’t get any better than Tracy McGrady and his very unique rim pull animations.
Shooting guards will find themselves driving from the baseline on occasion and that makes the Kobe Bryant package quite valuable. Ja Morant is a solid variety pack, featuring speed and even some rare power for the small dunkers in the game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Over 6'5", Standing Dunk 75+, Driving Dunk 75+, Vertical 50+
When it comes to dunking from a baseline, Kobe Bryant has it all with a complete set of reverses and direct contact jams. Russell Westbrook has the fastest driving dunk animations in the game, so when it comes to slashing dunkers, this is borderline mandatory.

Ben Simmons has perhaps the most versatile dunk package in the game, capable of finishing light and quick or strong and hanging. Everybody knows Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of thebest power forwardsand his animations are the perfect blend of speed and strength for those who invest in both.
Requirements
Shaquille O’Neal
Height At Least 6'10", Standing Dunk 80+, Driving Dunk 55+, Vertical 50+
Height At Least 6'5", Driving Dunk 84+, Vertical 64+
Draymond Green
Height At Least 6'5", Standing Dunk 58+, Driving Dunk 60+, Vertical 45+
Karl-Anthony Towns
Height At Least 6'10", Standing Dunk 75+, Driving Dunk 70+, Vertical 40+
Shaquille O’Neal may be the most famous dunker on this list and those who play the post will love how these animations can dunk despite tight defense for some nice posterizers. LeBron James is one of thebest small forwardsand his speed when dunking the ball comes in handy for big men.
Draymond Green has a bunch of rim pulls and with the feature introduced that allows players to control direction after a dunk on a rim hanger, he’s great for getting back on defense after a slam. Karl-Anthony Towns is an underrated dunker and he’s one of the few big men that has some solid baseline drive dunks ready to go.
