All NBA 2K25 Build Names

October 25, 2024

In NBA 2K25, “Build names” are labels assigned to specific player archetypes that highlight unique skills, strengths, and play styles on the virtual court. Each build name captures the essence of a player’s abilities, from elite shooting to lockdown defense or crafty playmaking. These names add personality to each build, providing players with an immersive, strategic way to create their MyPLAYER. Whether it’s the versatile “Jack of All Trades,” the tough “Gritty Guard,” or the post-dominating “Paint Bully,” these names help guide players in tailoring their approach, maximizing strengths, and filling key roles on any squad.
