Darius Garland's Dribble Style is fast and has snappy animations that help with quick turns. He plays Point Guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and if your NBA 2K25 Build has a really good Speed with Ball rating and plays as a Point Guard, going with this option should prove beneficial.
2) Devin Booker Dribble Style
Required Build Height: Under 6 feet 10 inches
Required Speed With Ball: More than 80
Devin Booker plays for the Phoenix Suns as a Point or Shooting Guard in NBA 2K25. His Dribble Style should be a great fit for really tall Builds in these positions having a high Speed With Ball rating. The animations for this option are smooth and decently quick in gameplay.
3) James Harden Dribble Style
Required Build Height: Under 6 feet 10 inches
Required Speed With Ball: More than 75
James Harden plays also Point or Shooting Guard but for the Los Angeles Clippers in NBA 2K25.

5) Zion Williamson Dribble Style
