The pass is in the air. You tip it or take it. Interceptor is that lane. A steal off the dribble is Glove.
Current for the NBA 2K27 MyPLAYER Builder reveal.
Tips and intercepted passes
Interceptor is a returning Defense badge. The official job is tips and intercepted passes.
You are in the passing lane. You are not reaching into a live dribble. You are not stripping a layup.
| Job | Interceptor? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Tip a pass | Yes | Official job |
| Intercept a pass | Yes | Official job |
| Steal from a ball-handler | No | Glove |
| Strip a layup | No | Glove |
| Deny a cut without a pass | No | Off-Ball Pest |
Visionary throws; you jump it
Versatile Visionary is the tight pass. Interceptor is the defender who takes that pass. Opposite sides.
If I poke the dribble, is that Interceptor?
No. A poke on the handle is Glove on defense, or Unpluckable on offense.
See requirements and the 53-name list.
