Few athletes wake up the crowd the way that a power forward does. Whether they're swatting away shots or taking the lead on inside scoring, power forwards are some of the most challenging and rewarding positions to play in NBA 2K24.
There are several different ways to score inside, such as slashing, standing dunks, or posting up. Active and passive defenses would also demand different attribute selections. There are a few ways to build a power forward but one way in particular stands above the rest in terms of sheer dominance in NBA 2K24.

Starting on the defensive end, the best power forwards are capable of protecting the rim. Since they're generally quicker than the centers, and this build is definitely on the fast side, protecting the rim against slashers is a duty that falls to the power forward on the right team. With 85 Interior Defense and 99 Block, this power forward gets the Hall of Fame Anchor badge to take care of this better than anyone else.
The real beauty of this build is actually on the offensive end. Since centers tend to play under the rim, power forwards should handle some mid-range duties in addition to inside scoring for the sake of space. With this attribute investment, all badges related to posting up are at all Hall of Fame level. If opponents double-team the power forward, which they will have to do, simply pass to the open man with Hall of Fame Post Playmaker and Special Delivery badges for an easy assist.
The most devastating part of this build is that the Hall of Fame Brick Wall and Backdown Punisher badges will train the other power forward's stamina immensely, forcing them out of the game. Using this build will mean spending more time playing against backups after knocking starters out. The best power forwards in the game can't even compete with this build.
