There’s nothing better than dunking on another player to assert your dominance. However, if you want to be able to perform dunks in NBA 2K24 consistently, specific requirements related to dunking must be met. Unfortunately, Contact Dunk requirements are much higher in NBA 2K24 than in previous instances. This may be bad for offline casuals or prevent smaller player meme builds. Still, here are all NBA 2K24 contact dunk requirements.

There are eight different Contact Dunks you can perform in NBA 2K24. However, to perform a specific contact dunk package, you must first meet the requirement thresholds, including essential stats like Driving Dunk, Standing Dunk, Vertical, and Height.
Here are all NBA 2K24 contact dunk requirements:
| Dunk Package | Driving Dunk | Driving Layup | Minimum Height | Maximum Height | Standing Dunk | Vertical |
| Elite Bigman Contact Dunks | Any | Any | 6’10 | 7’3 | 90+ | 75+ |
| Elite Contact Dunks Off One | 92+ | Any | 5’7 | 7’3 | Any | 82+ |
| Elite Contact Dunks Off Two | 92+ | Any | 5’7 | 7’3 | Any | 80+ |

Additionally, it is recommended to equip dunking badges such as the Posterizer badge, which increases the chances of throwing down a dunk on your defender. However, you must have the following stats to unlock this badge using the Badge Unlock tool:
| Attribute | Bronze | Silver | Gold | HoF |
| Driving Dunk | 73 | 86 | 93 | 99 |
| Vertical | 70 | 75 | 80 | 85 |
Unfortunately, the Limitless Takeoff badge has been removed in NBA 2K24, which was confirmed as removed with a post by Mike Wang on Twitter. Most fans have been having issues with Limitless Takeoff since NBA 2k21 and have been asking for it to be fixed since. What do you think of this badge being wholly removed instead of adjusted?
Author’s Note: I wrote this guide while playing NBA 2K24 on PlayStation 5.
