Dunk Animations in NBA 2K25

To equip a dunk animation in NBA 2K25 a player needs to fulfill a set of requirements, which vary from dunk to dunk. That's why certain types of dunks aren't available for small point guards or shooting guards, mainly because of their height or standing dunk.

There are also centers, power forwards, and small forwards, that can't execute certain types of dunks because they are too tall, have a low vertical, or a low driving dunk attribute.

That's why it's crucial you know the requirements for each dunk animation, or at least for the ones your MyPLAYER character can perform. This way you will have an easier time choosing which dunk to equip.

Knowing all the dunk requirements can also be useful on the court, as it will tell you what type of dunks opponent players with a certain build can or can't perform. This will make defending them much easier and can even be the difference between winning or losing.

Without further ado, let's find out all the dunk animation requirements in NBA 2K25, starting with the signature dunk animations.
