Image via 2K

All of the different contact dunks have three types and separate requirements for each type. The type determines what type of requirements are necessary for the dunk. The dunks themselves offer different animations and are used in specific situations. Most of the requirements line up with what they’ve been in previous 2K titles, but there are some key changes to take note of in 2K25.
