Bully pairs nicely with Fearless Finisher and is a great badge if you’re looking to, er, bully your opponents in the paint. |
|

- Silver: 75 Close Shot or 77 Driving Layup
- Gold: 84 Close Shot or 87 Driving Layup
- Hall of Fame: 93 Close Shot or 97 Driving Layup

If you’re the type of player who likes to burst into the paint for layups, whether it’s by breaking ankles or using screens, Fearless Finisher will help you to get the easy baskets even against taller and stronger defenders. |
| Limitless Takeoff |
When attacking the basket, a player with this badge will start their dunk attempt from farther out than others. |
- Bronze: 65 Driving Dunk
- Silver: 79 Driving Dunk
- Gold: 86 Driving Dunk
- Hall of Fame: 96 Driving Dunk
|
If you’re going for those big highlighter posterizer plays, then you’ll want to have Limitless Takeoff equipped, as this badge will transform you into a true sky walker. |
| Posterizer |
Increases the chances of throwing down a dunk on your defender. |
- Bronze: 72 Driving Dunk
- Silver: 85 Driving Dunk
- Gold: 93 Driving Dunk
- Hall of Fame: 99 Driving Dunk
|
With defense a constant challenge in NBA 2K24, Posterizer will allow you to bully defenders, but does come at a high cost if you want to upgrade to Hall of Fame. |
|
| Rise Up |
Increases the likelihood of dunking or posterizing your opponent when standing in the painted area. |
- Bronze: None
- Silver: 80 Stranding Dunk
- Gold: 90 Stranding Dunk
- Hall of Fame: 98 Stranding Dunk
|
Dunks are basically guaranteed points, so when you’re in the paint and about to finish, ideally you’re going to want to throw it down. Rise Up will help you to secure those easy baskets for your team and pairs nicely with Posterizer. |
| Slithery |
Increases a player’s ability to slide through traffic, protect the ball from being stolen, and avoid contact during gathers and finishes at the rim. |
- Bronze: 69 Driving Layup or 70 Driving Dunk
- Silver: 79 Driving Layup or 84 Driving Dunk
- Gold: 89 Driving Layup or 92 Driving Dunk
- Hall of Fame: 99 Driving Layup or 98 Driving Dunk
|
With the defense being difficult to overcome in NBA 2K24, Slithery is a helpful badge that will aid you in getting to the basket and finishing. This is a good one to pair with Fearless Finisher if you’re making a lot of drives to the rim. |
