Given your height and strength advantage, this will be a skill that goes a long way to dictate the pace of the game.
Bulldozer
The Bulldozer badge is more offense-oriented for when your team is on the offensive. It improves your strength as a ball handler, allowing you to overpower defenders where they may have otherwise seized the initiative against you.
Fearless Finisher
The Fearless Finisher badge improves your contact layups. The various physical traits of this build mean you’ll likely always be able to gain an advantage against defenders and if they can contend, then the brick wall skill is good for draining their energy on contact and allowing you to break into a clutch layup.
Tier A
Backdown Punisher
This is meant to give you an edge over the defender assigned to you. With this badge, you’ll be able to cause more frequent backdowns and have a more open window to pass the ball to your team.
Post Lockdown
This is helpful for when opponents end up at or near the paint. Whether it’s Jump Hooks, the Skyhook etc. this badge will improve your defense capabilities against all post moves, denying your opponent potential scores.
Tier B
Immovable Enforcer
This badge will improve your strength rating while defending ball handlers and finishers. Good for improving the likelihood of seizing the ball while they try going for a push.

How to setup NBA 2K24 Glass Cleaning Interior Threat build
As a Glass Cleaner, your main goal is to defend the basket while your team is on the back foot and clear a path / cover the opposing team’s basket for rebounds when your team is on the offensive.
The Glass Cleaning Interior needs to be able to assess the various tendencies of opposing attackers/ball handlers and intercept where necessary while maneuvering around them when the offense calls for it.
This specific build is centered around keeping control of the ball when it is in your hands and wearing out opponents / denying them key crossovers and layups wherever possible.
Your defensive capabilities make you more than capable of stopping and effectively harassing your opponent when the ball is in their control, while also being strong enough to push forward and clear a path for your team to set up comfy spots to take shots or go for the rebounds in case they miss. These badges are meant more for defense and supporting utility since you’ll be a team player setting up opportunities for your team while denying your opponent any.
