[music] All right, y'all. Please, please listen to this video. Baby, your phone is over there. Put it on the charger before we leave. I think I accidentally made the best small forward build in NBA 2K27 and the game hasn't even dropped. People, I'm sorry. Hi, I'm Michael May. I'm your host of True Hall of Fame Builds. I don't even want to talk. Listen, I want to dive into this right here, people. I accidentally I accidentally was asked last night on live stream, yo, can you make a Oklahoma City um Kevin Durant and I was like bet.
So this build came out. I made the Golden State Warriors Kevin Durant. People, I want you to read this right now. As you guys can see, people, this build has no weakness. I need you to stick around to the end of this video. People, please stay to the end of this video. I'm going to try to be fast. I'm going to break all of this down so you could understand thoroughly. People, Kevin Durant, now I want you to know this name is going to change. paint scoring sharp.
That's gonna change immediately. I put my hat backwards. I'm feeling myself right now. People look, as you can see, efficient mid-range bucket. Cool. Can go on a tear from deep. People pay attention. Uh lives above the rim. All right. Listen. Speed open transition opportunity. Now watch this. It says no. It says not a ball theft. weak shot blocker. People listen, let me just Can I just show you? Hit the like button if you're new here.
Subscribe to the channel. This is going to be the best small forward. And in fact, I because I accidentally made it. I was on live stream and I was like maybe I probably should have held this for myself, but since it's out, I want to give it strictly to y'all. Let's rock. Let's rock and roll, people. This is going to be your finishing. Remember, I am 610, 200 lb, a 610 wingspan. This is going to be people. Now, I would like I like to be clear with everybody.
I truly think that this probably this d will be beneficial to those who really play with others and possibly by yourself. If you're really if you're really a grinder, most of y'all I'm sorry, most of y'all are really not a grinder. So, you're not really going for cap breakers, but if you going for at least 15 people, at least 15 cap breakers, please stay here. We're going to have a 89 close for now, which that will change with one cap breaker.
It'll give you the 90 close shot, which will give you pain part of gold, which you're probably going to need. Now, as you see, a 83 driving layup opens up really good layup animations, right? Cool. You people, layup is very important this year. It's extremely important. 2K told you everything is timed. Now, if you're really good at layups, if you turn off the layup meter and you know your timing, you're going to get a boost according to a 2K set.
Now, an 85 driving dunk gives you all the dunk animations. Now, let's keep on rocking and rolling. Stand and dunk for 75. You guys know why I put 75? 75 is for the Carl Anthony Towns dunk package, which is probably the most important dunk package for all big men in the game. Now, I got 86 post control. Now, people, I did it cuz I was trying to make Kevin Durant, even though, as you can see with cap breakers, when you get a chance to see it, it goes it goes up to 91, which is still fine.
But hear me, y'all. Look at the badges you get. You get 15 15 finishing badges. But I want to break this down real fast. I'm sorry. I'm trying to speed it up for you guys. So, you're not here forever. Um, this is probably going to be one of the most important badges. Gold stepper. Uh, you have, um, physical finish. So, you probably definitely going to need that. Um, mix master and you're going to have, um, um, paint prodigy on silver to start until you get your cap breakers.
Now, obviously, I know some of y guys are going to want to put poster and all this. For me, my play style, you put what you want. I'm telling you what I would do. I would do ghost. I would do mixmaster paint prodigy and physical and physical finisher to battle through, right? And then later on down the line, you know, if you have more badges, then just put put the riser on bronze. Just hear me out, y'all. Please listen to me.
I'm I'm showing you all the proof. This is going to be your shooting. People, you're going to have a 94 mid-range with a 91 ball. But you, why didn't you bring it up, people? You have to remember to leave space for your build specialty. So, and usually build the build specialty will give you two cap breakers. You're going to put those two cap breakers right here. Ah, which gives you more cap breakers for something else.
Pay attention. Pay attention. This is going to go by fast. It's going to go by really fast. Um, as you guys can see, 19 shooting badges. Now, the ones that I care about with the way my play style, I know some of you guys love shooting threes. You guys love shooting threes, but hear me out. Hear me out. I'm going to put post fade as me. I need this as a midi. This is the This is pretty much set shot for the mid-range players.
For the mid-range players. And I need I need all the set shots is what I need. I need all my set shots. These are important. Cool. You know, you shifty, you moving and you jing. And this I think this is smooth criminal. But this right here, um, set shot for three and set shot for the midi is what I need with that eye. I'm not really a limitless range kind of guy, but it's there for you guys to maneuver however you want.
I'm just I'm just giving you the sauce. That's it. Now, playmaking people, this is a 610 small forward who's going to meet the requirements for some of the best dribbling. People look at this. You're going to have a 75 ball handle, which you can put up with cap breakers. You're going to start off with a 78 pass accuracy, which you could put cap breakers. And obviously, you're going to have a 72 speed with ball. Ridiculous.
Ridiculous. Ridic people. This is going to be the best forward, especially. Wait, you see how I'm going to use the cap breakers. [snorts] Watch this. Now, um, obviously unpluckable. You only have nine. I'm go I'mma show you how I'mma do it. How I would do it. I'mma go unpluckable, right? I'mma put a plus one cap break on this to go to um to go to gold, right? Um then I'm for me I'mma open up handles for days. Uh lightning launch and ankle and and and and the ankle take people.
It's it's my play style. But you may want to change things up. But why you why are you saying that? Cuz if I can cap break this, if I can cap break this as well. You know how last year 2K26, they they allowed you to have like like 8, nine, 10 cap breaker things with the with the build the specialty and all that stuff where double double two and all that stuff. If we could possibly still have something like that, it'll be fire.
Plus with surges and all that. I I want a plus one this and I want a plus one this. If I could plus two this, that's going to be perfect at 610. But listen to me y'all. Listen to me. Having unpluckable on gold as a 610 small forward is crazy. And then having handles for days on silver is fire. Now these two are just a ankle. And this is just a bonus. I'm not playing point guard, so I I don't really need the rest of this stuff here.
Now, even though, as you can still see, I still get passing diamond, which is very important for me. Let's keep rocking and rolling, y'all. Please pay attention. Please pay attention. I will have a 80 perimeter defense on a 610. And you guys already heard from Mike Wang. If you didn't hear it, go go watch um him on Twitter. Twitter X. He said, "People, perimeter defense is important." But hear me. If you have perimeter defense, but I'm 610.
If you're 6'4, 6'5, but I'm 610. And you know, sometimes 2K, I I know you hate it. I hate it. where 2K will put you 2K will put you um you make a a small forward and it put you at power forward or you know like it'll move your build where it doesn't even belong. Now if you have to go up against somebody like me and you have a smaller build a shooting guard at small forward and I'm playing with my guys and you you 6'5 and I'm 610 I'm shooting over you.
Mike Wang already said it. Height will be more dominant than perimeter defense. If I'm taller than you, I'm shooting over you. Right now, let's rock and roll. Now, you guys see? Oh, that's what they mean by 50 steels. Oh, man. 50 steals. Gee, golly Williskers. Right. Okay. Now, watch this. You got You got a 55 block, right? Okay. Pay attention. Pay attention. Not for long. Not. That's why I told you. This right here, people.
This right here. Don't be fooled by this. Don't be fooled by this. Pay attention. I'm going to make the best and complete small forward in the game. Now, you already see defense right now. Let's go. Rebounds. Now, right now, it looks low. Right now, it looks look mean. I mean, 77 is ain't too bad. Remember y'all, you're a small forward. You're not a center. You're not powerful. You're not out there trying to beat Dwight Howard, Shaquille O'Neal, ya Ming, none of these guys, right?
But let's just leave that alone right now. But now, but at least you get one badge. [clears throat] You get one badge. Congratulations me. Congratulations right now. Oh, I I'm sorry. I'm I'm I'm trying to go fast for you guys. I ain't trying to be long, people. You see this perimeter defense, you only get four badges. I'm sorry. The only two badges that really matter and has always mattered in 2K is these two people.
This off ball pest is a must to play defense. This is a must to play defense. You So, make sure you go for this on gold. And if you can get if you can get any one of the rest of the badges, get this one right here, B. Just get challenger. Just get a challenger on bronze and you should be fine. Trust me. Now rebounds. We already discussed that. This is where it's gamebreaking people on a 610 200 lb 610 wingspan. You will have a 82 speed a 70 a 78 agility.
Right. You will have right for right now. for right now. A 75 strength with a 70 vert. But true. Wouldn't you want to have a higher vert? Pay attention. Pay attention. This is going to go fast. Pay attention. Listen. Don't Don't distract me from the process. Let's go. Now, you get six badges. Cool. I'll be honest with you. The only badges I I care about is this one right here. You see this right? This is the only badge I care about is this one right here and this one right here.
Now, if if those take four badges, cool. You have two badges for something else. big whoopity do. I'm just showing you guys that I think I broke the game with this build. But pay attention to people. Watch this vert and watch this here. That's why I said this build is going to be for those who are really going for cap breakers. Me every year I go for at least 25 cap breakers. 27. This year I got 27 with no problem. Now I want you guys to understand something.
Now you see how the build is going to lay out, right? I want to show you real fast the dunks you're going to be able to get on this build. Now, as you guys know, anybody at any tour build, this is probably one of the most important dunk packages. Now, you guys are going to see um uh um um different dunks that are highlighted, which is dope. You're going to be able to get those now. True. All right. Help me understand something.
But why are you so excited about this build, people? Not only are you going to have the speed at 610 to get up court, you're going to have the defense to play defense on anybody outside, you're going to have the speed to dribble past. See people, this is this is Golden State Kevin Durant. You know, Kevin Durant got busy with the dribbling. The shooting is immaculate and the finishing. Well, you already see what time it is right now.
Let's go back. Now, you're going to get everything that's unhighlighted. you're not going to get. So everything that's highlighted, you're going to be able to have. These are A1 for taller builds. The elite basket rim pulls are A1, especially when you're under the rim. A1. But I want to skip through. You're going to get Giannis people. You're going to be able to have the Giannis Ampo dunk package. You're going to have Draymond Green, which is really good in 26.
I hope the same for 27. Blake was really good in 26. You're going to have Dwight Howard, which I tell you guys, do not put Dwight Howard. Do not put Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard, if you're watching, I'm sorry. Forgive me. Um, uh, Jay Huff. Okay, I guess Jay Huff, you're gonna have LeBron James. LeBron James. They're going to have the LeBron James dunk package. Now, keep rocking and rolling. Now, DeAndre Jordan was beautiful in May 26, so this play will be good.
Again, I don't use Shawn Kemp, and I definitely use Car Malone. I'm just showing you the possibilities of your build right now. As you can see, you get Omari Starta and Carl Anthony Towns. This is the most important dunk package, y'all. Out of all dunk packages you could put on your build. Please trust and believe me. I do this for real. Now, you get the cross escape. Obviously, you meet all the requirements for dribbling.
So, we're not going to take long on this. I just want you to see certain things. Now, let's get into the meat and potatoes, can we? Shall we? Now, as you guys can see, that means you could raise your standing, you could raise your post, you could raise your driving layup to a 89, which opens up what again? Huh? Huh? Okay. You remember you you remember all them finishing layup packages? Okay, whatever. Now, I would put one cap breaker here just to people.
You want to have Paint Prodigy automatically on gold. Paint Prodigy is going to be a big badge this year. Trust me when I say this. Let's keep let's keep moving forward. Now, as you see, you're not going to be able to put no cap breakers on this. This is done. This is done. These two cap breakers are for your build specialty people. Please listen. And and and please y'all remember this. When you're making your builds, leave space for your build specialty, please.
Thank you very much. This shooting is A1. Now, as you can see, people, I can go up to a 78 ball handle. I can go up to a 78 ball handle, which unlocks a whole another load of animations. Oh my god. Or people pay attention. You can go up 10 people. You can people. You're the point forward. You're the point forward people. You can run the floor with the 88 pass accuracy, people. This is the best small forward build in the game.
I'm telling you, I broke the game with this one. I'm telling you. Trust me. Let's keep rocking and rolling. Now, as you guys can see on defense, people, what the Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I want to show it to I want to show it to you cuz you guys probably You guys probably didn't see that. Remember? Hold up. Let's go back. Let's go back. Let's go back. Not a ball. Not a ball thief. Weak shot blocker on the wing.
Okay. Remember you remember you saw that? Okay. I I didn't say it. They said it with eight cap breakers. So you could take people Watch this. Watch this. Hold my Look. Watch this. All right. With your first 10 cap breakers, you need four here. With just four cap breakers, you can get a 73 steel. I guess that ain't a weakness no more. I guess stealing the boy ain't people with five cap breakers, you can go from a a 55 block to a 85 block.
I guess you ain't weak on that. I guess you're not weak no more on the perimeter, huh? People, this is gamebreaking. Now watch this, people. Your first 10 cap breakers. I would do this. You have one left over, put it on close shot. Now you have close shot on on on gold. People, this is gamebreaking. Now, rebounds. As the game progresses and you get more cap breakers, yes, you can go put up your rebounds, people. That is your your first your first cap breakers.
You could put them on your defense. Now, I wouldn't do that. Let me tell you what I would do. People, listen, listen, listen, listen. you can jump up to the 80 strength which opens up a whole another batch. This right here, y'all, the 80 strength when you start putting up your rebounding, this would help you. Ready? Watch this, y'all. Your vert can go to 75, which would open up more dunk packages. Which would open up more dunk packages.
Now, let's get into this. We got to talk takeover, people. You're going to people. All right, hear me out. Hit me out. Hit me out. Hit me out. Now, this right here, I know everybody's going to want to use this one and change the arms. I put this one on for a reason, y'all. Hear me out. I want y'all guys to understand something. The one you're going to want to use is paint surgeon. Now, the reason why I put this here cuz I wanted to speak to you guys about something, right?
I wanted to speak to you guys. Please hear me out. I know you guys see dunking OP. This is not the takeover that you're going to put on this bill. I wanted to speak about this one cuz some of you guys are going to try to raise your arms up to try to get this and match this one right here. People, I want to say this. This is not going to be worth it with as high as your your dunking is and finishing is people. You do not want to put this one on.
You want to put the pain surgeon. I promise you. Please, please, please. Now, this you you're going to want to run people on this right here on this build particular at 610 with all your dribbling, all your shooting, all your dunking, all your finishing, all of your defense. It says wider timing window on off dribble jumpers, making it easier to convert off any dribble moves. You have the dribble moves there, right? Okay.
Yeah, you remember that, right? Let's keep on going. Now, I'm using Dishmaster on all of my builds, people. All I got to do is put one cap breaker and I already got Dishmaster. This is the only one I am using, especially when you're trying to play that point forward kind of situation. You want to enhance all of your teammates abilities. It's going to be key this year. And as you guys know, on defense, I'm running hydro.
On defense, I will be running hydro. And now for rebounding, this is the one I'm going to be running. People, I want you to understand your job is not to grab rebound. Your job is to take off running, get down court as fast as you can and get that bucket for your team. You could play defense, you could shoot, you could finish by the rim. You literally can do everything. And this this name will change people. Paint scoring sharp.
Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant. I showed you the proof. The proof is in the pudding, people. What more do you need to know? It is what it is. I am your host, Michael May. Thank you for being here. True Hall of Fame Bills. I'll see you on the next one. Y already know. We out of here. I'll see you on the next one. Out.
