Dunking is the best thing a player can experience in NBA 2K25, as it asserts dominance over the opponent and also makes for a splendid highlight.
There are many dunks in NBA 2K25, but players need to fulfill specific requirements to equip and use those animations. Height is the biggest factor when it comes to dunk animations, but vertical, driving dunk, and standing dunk attributes are also important.
So let's find out all the dunk animations in NBA 2K25.
Dunk Animations in NBA 2K25
To equip a dunk animation in NBA 2K25 a player needs to fulfill its 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 players not the requirements for each dunk animation, or at least for the ones their MyCAREER character can perform. This way users will have an easier time choosing which dunk they want to equip.
Knowing all the dunk requirements can also be useful on the court, as it will tell players 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.
