Best defensive/rebounding badges in NBA 2K24

The 2K developers revamped the badge system in NBA 2K24. They did remove some, but with the addition of 20 new badges, this year’s edition is more exciting than ever when it comes to MyCAREER mode. Here are the five best defensive/rebounding badges in NBA 2K24.

Anchor

To prevent your opponent from scoring, blocking their shots is crucial. NBA 2K24 has the Anchor badge that helps with this. It is one of the best defensive badges to have as it stops the opposing team from making baskets.

Challenger

When it comes to facing mid-range shooters like Dillon Brooks, blocking their shots can be challenging. This is where the Challenger badge comes in handy. It increases your well-timed contest effectiveness, making it easier to defend against perimeter shooters.

Glove

If you need to play dirty, stealing the ball from your opponent is a useful defensive tactic. The Glove badge allows you to do this safely, making it one of the best badges to have. With good shooters on your team, it can even lead to a basket.

Clamps

For a more aggressive approach, the Clamps badge is useful. It allows you to successfully bump into your opponent without the referee intervening. This can cause the ball handler to drop the ball on contact.

Brick Wall

The Brick Wall is another helpful defensive badge. It boosts your screen effectiveness and can tire out your opponent when they try to block you. It is particularly useful when going for a Jump Shot.

These are the five notable defensive/rebounding badges in NBA 2K24:

• Boxout Beast
• Pick Dodger
• Fast Feet
• Right Stick Ripper
• Pogo Stick
