How to Make the “Mamba” Kobe Bryant Replica Build in NBA 2K23

In total, NBA 2k23 features two Mamba builds, one based on Kobe during his years wearing the number 8 and one based on his stats while donning the 24. (Kobe started his NBA career wearing the number 8 but made the switch to the number 24 during the 2006/2007 season. Both numbers are currently retired). With that said, for both builds, you will need to be playing in the Shooting Guard position and be 6’6 (we only managed to create the builds while using a 6’6 player, even after getting the same shades). You can check out how to make each Mamba build below:
