We should note that this list of NBA 2K24 Dribble animations is as of Season 4. The only notable additions from the third season were animations for featured star Tyrese Haliburton.

Season 2 saw the addition of NBA 2K24 dribble animations for Victor Wembanyama, while Season 3 focused on Allen Iverson.

This guide will be updated to reflect future NBA 2K24 Dribble animations that are added.
