NBA 2K24 has to be one of the biggest basketball games in 2024! The Kobe Bryant edition really hits the ball out of the park with new character cards, costumes, advanced graphics, and new game modes. A formidable newcomer, Ja Morant, has been the highlight of the previous years with many players aiming to main the character. Even though his ratings have fallen off, some new creative builds always pop around now and then that bring him back to relevance in NBA 2K24. In this article, we will be checking out one such build that is seeing popularity build up after YouTuber Dignify2k showcased  it on his channel.

 

The Destructive Ja Morant Build 

Ja Morant is one of the fastest characters in NBA 2K24. The build compliments his offensive capabilities by enhancing Stamina and Driving Layup/Driving Dunk to the max. Such a build will help Ja Morant effectively unlock all types of dunks and the extra stamina means he can manuever the ball much more efficiently. 

Now, the only drawback to this build is the low defense numbers. You cannot let tall defenders get in your way or the ball might get stolen easily. Once the ball goes out of your hand, it will not be easy to take it back as the Steal is also abysmally low. This build purely relies on your offensive capabilities and how fast you can dunk the ball! Check out the complete build with all the stats mentioned here:
