Unless you are a 7'3 inside center I would skip this badge entirely.
Masher - 2k23 Test Details

Activating the Masher badge requires you to be either 3 or 4 inches taller than the person contesting you. There is a chart in the video on this page this shows this break down. This height differential required makes Masher much less appealing as you should already be hitting layups pretty easily if you are 4 inches taller than the person contesting you.

Masher - 2k23 Test Results

To test masher we took 200 contested layups against a defender 4 inches taller at each badge level. The results make the badge look pretty good but the activation requirements make it not very usable.

Badge Unlock Table Details

This table shows how many attribute points you need in order to unlock a badge at the level in the header. If a badge is a Tier 1 badge you do not need any attributes in order to unlock the badge at a bronze level. If its Tier 2 or 3, you will need to meet the attribute threshold to unlock the badge. If there is more than one attribute listed, you only need to meet the threshold on one of the attributes, not multiple.
