A longstanding visual spectacle in the NBA, the slam dunk is always a favorite among veterans for gamers. In NBA 2K24, throwing down the ball and posterizing opponents has never looked better. Creating a build designed around the ability to jam the ball through the hoop will make for a top-tier gaming experience.
Beyond being fun to watch, a dunker build is actually quite functional as well. Players might think that specializing in the dunk comes at the expense of so many other attributes but there is a dunker build in NBA 2K24 that allows for gamers to make a functional character that is virtually impossible to stop at the rim.

In the past few years, this best dunker build usually comes from the guard spot due to their speed. But small forwards are the champs this year thanks to the new build system that allows them to perform at elite levels in dunking in addition to athleticism, ball handling, and defense. The best small forwards don't have to sacrifice a major aspect of their game and this build doesn't either.
Every badge that is related to driving dunks is at a Hall of Fame level with this build. Slashing toward the net and asking for an alley-oop or driving it home personally has always been the most consistent way to get a slam dunk and that remains true this year as most defenders are too good to allow for standing dunks.
However, on the best team for a small forward, players with this build have an extra weapon to use this year. Use some dribble moves and break the ankles of the opposing forward. Most forwards aren't prepared to deal with the playmaking this build is capable of and will fall behind. When they do, blow past them and get a highlight reel play at the rim.
