Contact Dunks is one of the mechanics that come back in the NBA 2K23; they are vital to any big man’s game plan. But some requirements must be met if you wish to perform a Contact Dunk. This guide will break down all contact dunk requirements in NBA 2K23 and how they work.
What is a Contact Dunk?
As the name implies, a contact dunk is a dunk where the two players make contact with each other, and the ball handler pushes through said contact to lay down the basket anyway.
Of course, there’s a fine line when it comes to contact dunks, as too much contact or contact that is actively too aggressive will draw a foul, rendering the dunk meaningless as it won’t result in any points being added to the scoreboard.
All Contact Dunk Requirements in NBA 2K23
Here are the Requirements to perform Contact Dunk in NBA 2K23:
• Small Contact Dunks Off One – You will need Driving Dunk 86+ & Player must be shorter than 6’5″.

How to View Contact Dunk Requirements in NBA 2K23?
These contact dunk requirements will also be available to view in the game as follow:
1). Go to the MyPLAYER menu.
2). Scroll over to the “MyPLAYER” tab.
3). From there, use X (or A) to select “animations.”
4). Once in the animations screen, use L1 and R1 (or LB and RT) to toggle over to the “animations store.”

How to Get Contact Dunks in NBA 2K23?
To make a contact dunk, you first need to hold the R2/RT button while driving toward the rim and then hold the X/A Shoot button. Remember to keep an eye on the dunk meter and release the buttons right as it turns green to make a perfect Contact Dunk.
Another thing you need to look for while performing Contact Dunk is the Dunk Meter. Here are the button sequences you need to know:
• Tap the Turbo button (R2 or RT) while driving to the basket.
• Hold up on the right stick when you are close enough.
• Flick down when the dunk animation starts, but be quick.
• Flick down twice faster and hold it down.
The Dunk Meter is a circle that appears initially as yellow, but once you make corrections, it will turn green. You aim to target the ball in the green part of the circle.
If you are not getting the Contact Dunk. Just attack the defender’s side and dunk using the right stick instead of the shoot X button. If another team player is directly underneath the basket, you will 100% get the contact Dunk.
You will never get the Contact Dunk if one or two people are in the paint. The game mechanics of the NBA 2K23 does not allow you to have the Contact Dunk if anyone is in the paint.
