Posterizer in NBA 2K26 is that dope badge for pulling off nasty contact dunks over defenders. It boosts your odds of posterizing someone when you’re driving hard to the rim. Here’s a chill breakdown on what you need to equip it on your build.
Badge Basics
This NBA 2K26 badge shines for slashers who love fast breaks and aggressive drives. Time your dunk right—use RT/R2 plus RS up close to the hoop with a defender in your face. Higher levels unlock smoother animations and bigger green windows on the meter.
Requirements by Level
Hit these Driving Dunk and Vertical stats to unlock each tier—no height limits mentioned, so it works for most builds.
| Level | Driving Dunk | Vertical |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 73 | 65 |
| Silver | 81 | 75 |
| Gold | 93 | 80 |
| HOF | 96 | 85 |
| Legend | 99 | 90 |
Pro Tips
Stack it with high Post Control for better angles, and grind fast breaks for easy triggers. Legend is tough and pricey, so Gold or HOF often maxes the value without wasting points. Test in practice mode to nail the timing—defender position matters most for those huge meters.
