NBA 2K23 Best Special Replica Builds: How to Make

In NBA 2K23 on Next Gen, perhaps one of the coolest features that the community has discovered early on is the game's hidden collection of Special Replica builds.

From "Mamba" (Kobe Bryant) and "Chef" (Stephen Curry), to "Big Country" (Bryant Reeves), players who manage to input a certain combination of position, physicals and attributes will discover a Special Replica build archetype name that will be displayed throughout the City and more in MyCareer.

Unfortunately, however, being that the builds are super rare and have stats that are far from the ideal meta, almost all of them aren't actually really worth spending VC on and maxing out. As such, for those wondering if any of them are viable, here's a breakdown of the best Special Replica builds to make in NBA 2K23 MyCareer on Next Gen.
