NBA 2K – How to Dunk

There are multiple ways to dunk in NBA 2k20. Some you can control which type of dunk you want to do, while others will give you a random dunk or possibly a lay-up. Just because this is a video game, it doesn’t mean that everyone will be able to dunk equally. The types of dunks that you are capable of will ultimately depend on the stats of the player you are trying to dunk with, so keep that in mind when dunking in 2K20.
