Every year, a new meta build dominates 2K, and 7'4 builds reign supreme in NBA 2K26. While it may seem like a good idea to make a shorter player with more mobility, height trumps all since shooting is so easy this year in NBA 2K26.

Even if you max out your player's height, you can still land threes like you're Steph Curry. These builds may get nerfed in the future, but right now, every NBA 2K26 match has at least one 7'4 ball hog draining shots from the corner. If you can't beat them, join them. This is the best 7'4 build in NBA 2K26.

With these attributes, you'll have a player with shades of Victor Wembanyama, Kristaps Porzingis, and Marc Gasol. These are some of the most talented players on the taller side of the NBA, and you'll perform even better on the court thanks to this year's wonky balancing and simplified shooting.

NBA 2K26 Shades of 74

This build's only weakness is that it's "not a very agile player" according to 2K, but that message disappears with a few more points in Speed and Agility. Don't worry, this build is agile enough. Plus, you'll have enough strength to back down defenders and work some post move magic if anyone tries to guard you.

7'4 Build Badges

NBA 2K26 Go To Badges 7'4

This build is exceptional at making buckets from anywhere on the court, and you'll have access to some great Badges as well. With Post Fade Phenom at Hall of Fame-level, you'll be a menace underneath the basket if you haven't already dunked the ball by the time a defender gets on you. For non-layups, you have Set Shot Specialist and Float Game Badges at Gold to help you green those shots elsewhere.

If you use Cap Breakers, you can make this build even more deadly with Hall of Fame-level Set Shot Specialist and Limitless Rang e by upgrading your three-point attribute. If you want to play more in the paint, you can adjust your Post Control attribute with Cap Breakers (or by moving some numbers around for this build) to improve Post-Up Poet and Unpluckable.

When you add in Badge Perks that can raise the levels of your Badges even further, this 7'4 NBA 2K26 build is unstoppable. It'll take some time (or VC) to get your attributes as high as they need to be for this build to shine, but you'll be able to dominate Park games once everything is all set up.
