All NBA 2K25 layup and dunk animation requirements

Pull off the flashiest moves with the right build.

If you want to have the flashiest dunk, layup, and alley-oop animations, then you need to meet certain criteria in order to pull off the coolest moves. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck with the same lame animations as everyone else.
