Best Kevin Durant build in NBA 2K25

Kevin Durant is possibly my favorite baller in NBA 2K25, and you can make an excellent MyCareer build based on him.

His shot animations are probably the best in my books for my 3-way scorer C build. If you’re basing your build around Durant, you can expect all-around abilities that will help you shine in both offense and defense. This build by Cinco Gaming is extremely promising, and I have been spending plenty of hours with it.

NBA 2K25 Kevin Durant build potential overall

This particular build focuses on the shooting ability of Durant in real-life. That’s one of the main reasons behind having a wingspan of just 6’11 with a height of 6’10. Having that wingspan will allow you to have better stats in the shooting department.

• Position: PF
• Height: 6’10
• Wingspan: 6’11
• Weight: 211 lbs

Let’s first take a look at the maximum potential ratings, and then we will discuss the key badges.

This build focuses primarily on shots – both from 3-point and mid-range. You get the Gold Set Shot Specialist, Deadeye, and Shifty Shooter. The Mid-Range shooting stat, combined with Post Control, unlocks the Hall of Fame Post Fade Phenom.

On defense, you get the Silver Paint Patroller and Gold Off-Ball Pest badges. The Silver Challenger and Bronze Immovable Enforcer should help you reduce the chances of baskets if you can contest shots well on the perimeter. You can reduce the Rebound stats a bit to take your Block up to 86, which will unlock the Silver Pogo Stick. One of the best things about this build is the flexibility, and you can emphasize a bit more on either offense or defense based on your needs.

With this Kevin Durant build, there are some great Takeover options in NBA 2K25. I love to shoot when possible, so Middy Maestro is the clear choice. As an alternative, Driver is great for boosting your Driving Dunk and Ball Handle stats.
