LeBron James is one of the most iconic players in NBA history, so it’s no wonder that many players want to create a build based on him in NBA 2K24.
How to Create a LeBron James Build in NBA 2K24
Position
The first thing you need to decide is what position you want to play LeBron as. He can play both small forward and power forward, but for this build, we’re going to choose small forward. This is because small forwards are generally more agile than power forwards, which is important for a player like LeBron who likes to drive to the basket.
