by Fernando Diaz / Game Guides, NBA 2K24 / 11 Apr 2023

Yo, what’s poppin’ hoop heads!! If you’re lookin’ to break some ankles, hit some nasty layups, and make defenders look like they’re on skates, then I got the perfect build for you—inspired by none other than the man himself, Kyrie Irving… Now, let’s dive into how to craft this beast of a MyPlayer build for NBA 2K24.

The Foundation: Player Specs

Height: 6’5″

Why?? You’re getting that extra height advantage, crucial for those contested shots.

Weight: 195 lbs

Vibe Check: This gives you the right balance of speed and strength. Kyrie may be a bit lighter, but remember, you want some muscle to body defenders.

Wingspan: 6’11”

Straight Facts: Longer arms = better shots and defense. We stretching out here!

Position: Point Guard

Gameplan: Run the floor, be the main man, and serve up some nasty dishes…

Key Stats

Scoring

Close Shot: 60 – We ain’t too focused on these bunnies; Kyrie’s game is more about those dazzling layups.

Mid-Range Shot: 86 – Bro, this ain’t no joke. With a mid-range like that, you’re gonna be hitting fadeaways like it’s nothing.

Three-Point Shot: 86 – Get ready to splash from deep. Those 3-pointers? Easy money. Practice your shot, and the court’s basically your playground.

Driving Layup: 84 – This right here? This is where that Kyrie magic happens. Floaters, reverse layups, and Euro-steps. You got options, my guy.

Free Throw: 77 – Not the best, but decent enough to hit ’em when they count.

Playmaking

Pass Accuracy: 85 – You’re gonna be droppin’ dimes like a bank teller with slippery hands.

Ball Handle: 85 – This is where the fun begins. Those handles are gonna have defenders tripping over their own feet.

Speed With Ball: 85 – Zoom past defenders like they’re stuck in mud. Combine this with your killer handles, and you’re unstoppable.

Defense & Rebounding

Perimeter Defense: 98 – This is elite level stuff, man. You’re clamping down on the opposition like a vise.

Steal: 54 – Not the best, but combined with that insane perimeter defense, you’ll snag a few cookies from unsuspecting ball handlers.

Defensive Rebound: 48 – You ain’t gonna be the next Rodman, but you’ll grab a few boards when it counts.

Interior Defense: 35 – Okay, so big men might feast a bit. But who cares when you’re putting up 30+ on the other end?

Athleticism

Speed: 90 and Acceleration: 90 – Man, you’re fast! Like, gone-in-a-flash, defenders-can’t-keep-up fast.

Strength: 43 – Not the beefiest dude on the court, but remember, it’s not about size; it’s about skill.

Vertical: 60 – You ain’t soaring like Zion, but with those layups, who needs to?

Stamina: 96 – Play all day, every day. This stamina means you’re gonna be the Energizer bunny out there.

Badges

Clamps (Gold)

94 Feet (Gold)

Ankle Braces (Gold)

Pick Dodger (Gold)

Off-Ball Pest (HOF)

And that’s just for defense… You can go crazy with your shooting and playmaking badges too, like Deadeye and Ankle Breaker.

Pro Tips

Ditch the Dunking – With both driving and standing dunk at 0 forget about slamming it down. Focus on finesse. Embrace the layup game.

Strength Woes – Be wary of those big, burly defenders. They might push you around a bit with your 43 strength. But use that speed to your advantage & outmaneuver them…

Crafty Playmaking – With the ball in your hands, control the tempo… Make use of that ball handle and pass accuracy to dictate the game.

Defensive Stance – Use that god-level perimeter defense. Get into those passing lanes, predict your opponent’s moves and make ’em regret challenging you.
