How can you dunk in NBA 2K24? Slamming dunks in NBA 2K24 is one of the most gratifying ways to score. From all the different types of dunks you can perform to then being able to slam one down over multiple defenders, dunking has always been a wildly entertaining and enjoyable aspect of the gameplay. And in NBA 2K24, the level of tenacity, athleticism, and power players can execute with their dunks, is better than ever before.

With NBA 2K24 now live, fans have been checking out the latest changes, including the new player ratings. But with next-generation console players having the opportunity to enjoy ProPLAY for the first time through the new gameplay, some fans have grown curious how one can dunk in NBA 2K24. If that’s what you came to learn, we detail how to do so here.

How to dunk in NBA 2K24

Here’s how to dunk in NBA 2K24:

Platform	Control
PlayStation	R2 + Square
Xbox	RT + X
PC	Hold Numpad 5
Nintendo Switch	ZR + Y

Before we get into any tips, the controls we list above are the simplest and most generic way to perform a dunk. However, if you’re after specific types of dunks rather than just having the player decide which one to use, you can do so by executing certain directional movements with the right stick while you’re holding down the RT / R2 / ZR control.

In addition, fans can also activate and use a dunk meter when driving to the hoop, which functions just like a jump shot meter. In order to activate it, fans need to flick the right stick up and then hold it down as soon as they enter the paint upon driving to the hoop.

Whether you plan on using the button method or opt for the dunk meter, there’s a couple of helpful tips to keep in mind. The first is that dunking is all about timing and how much space you have to do so. If you’re on a breakaway, you will have no problem performing the dunk of your choosing. But if there’s a defender contesting you, the window you have to pull off your dunk becomes much smaller. And should you be using the meter, timing is even more important.

Lastly, tap into your creativity with the different kinds of dunks you can pull off. There’s so many special and emphatic types that NBA 2K24 has included into the game, and the best way to enjoy this activity is by exploring the many ways you can throw down a slam dunk.
