Unlocking Easter Egg-type characters in MyCareer mode of NBA 2K24 can be done by accessing secret builds. By creating a player with the same stats and abilities as iconic NBA players, you can unlock a secret build that is a replica of a famous player. For instance, I’m a Colorado native and a huge Nuggets fan, so I want to unlock Nikola Jokić and get the “Joker” secret build. However, knowing how to do so is no laughing matter, so here are all the Secret Builds in NBA 2K24 and how to unlock them.

To access a Secret Build in the game, you must create a MyPLAYER character that matches the exact stats and skills of the player you want to unlock. To achieve this, you must gather essential data about the specific player, such as their height, weight, wingspan, position, and number, and ensure that it is 100% accurate. In addition to these attributes, you must select the appropriate Takeover skills to unlock the player successfully.
For example, Ja Morant has the highest Dunk Rating and can perform Posterize, Break Starter, and Putback King moves. Therefore, if you want to create a Ja Morant build, you must ensure that your MyPlayer is also skilled in dunking and has the Posterize, Break Starter, and Putback King Takeover abilities. If you have done this correctly, you will receive a message that says, “You have unlocked a special replica of,” followed by the player’s nickname that you successfully unlocked.
