As the name implies, a 3-level or triple threat in NBA 2K24 refers to a player that can create a situation where they can threaten the defenders with dribble, shoot, or pass. These players can hold between their shoulders and knee height off-hand on the ball. This is one of the scariest fakes in the world of the NBA as the defenders only have a 33% to guess the correct move.
3-level threat players are extremely agile and have mastery over ball control. Their main role is as a playmaker as they can easily pass the ball around. However, it doesn’t stop here. Triple-threat players are also adept at converting mid and long-range shots into 3-pointers. In this guide, we will create a 3-level threat build in NBA 2K24 influenced by one of the greatest of them, Kevin Durant.
