NBA 2K22 Kobe Bryant MyCareer Build: Current Gen and Next Gen

Especially with the Season 2 Rebirth feature around, it's time to start getting a little bolder with your NBA 2K22 MyCareer builds.

While making a Kobe Bryant build sounds amazing in theory, with a number of hidden requirements needed to be met for your player to be able to unlock certain Badges and animations, it can take hours of experimenting with pie charts and physicals to find a good base.

For those looking to quickly make a Kobe Bryant MyPlayer build that can dominate the park or rec in NBA 2K22, here's how to do it on both Current Gen and Next Gen.
