How to Get the Mamba Mentality Badge in NBA 2K23 Current Gen
You need to find and talk to Pippa in the Silver Deck’s Promenade to start some quests. Once you talk to her, you have to explore the rest of the G.O.A.T Boat and visit various locations. You don’t need to do anything else besides going in and out of the buildings and talking to Pippa after each visit.
Keep doing this till you reach a point where you have to talk to Samuel and unlock the El Capitan quest. The quest is pretty simple, just head over to the Gatorade Gym and perform any workout. Once you are done, complete the El Capitan quest to get another one. This time, talk to Thomas to get the Billionaire Baller quest, where you have to beat Pippa in MyCOURT. After that, you can unlock the Mamba Mentality Badge.

To get the badge for Next Gen, open up the MyCareer menu and head over to the Quests tab. Select the Side Quest option and click on Mamba Mentality. This will lead you to Brikley’s Gym. Talk to Chris Brickley in the gym to get seven Brickley Drills. You need to get 3 stars on all the drills to get the badge.
