This badge has returned for NBA 2K23, and it once again requires some grinding, and patience. So, how can you get the Mamba Mentality, and what does it exactly do?

What is the Mamba Mentality badge in NBA 2K23?
The Mamba Mentality badge in NBA 2K23 is a bit different than traditional badges. Rather than boost performance on the court, the Mamba Mentality badge allows for players to change Takeovers that were originally set at the onset of the creation of the build.
In order to get the Mamba Mentality badge, you’ll first need to find Chris Brickley’s gym.

How to unlock the Mamba Mentality badge
In order to unlock the Mamba Mentality badge, here’s what you must do:
- Get three stars on seven different Normal Drills. This will unlock the first Takeover perk.
- Get three stars on seven different Hard Drills.
Complete the latter, and you will receive the second Takeover perk, and then receive the Mamba Mentality badge.
Keep in mind a few things about these training sessions. One, these sessions do offer badge progression bonuses, making it extremely important to do well in the events. Second, players can only partake in two drills per day.
