Contact dunk requirements are important for most, and especially if you’re running a MyCareer build focused on the C/PF positions. To unlock the best animations for your specific build, you’ll need to meet the requirements. Let’s take a look at how the requirements look this year for all available builds.

Like in NBA 2K24, contact dunks can be split into four categories, and we will take a look at all their requirements.
