Ever since the beginning of the game, dribbling has been a core aspect of basketball. That’s why it makes perfect sense for dribbling to also be a core mechanic in NBA 2K23. You can transition into lots of moves while dribbling, making it one of the most important skills in the game. One of those moves is the dribble handoff pass, which we will discuss in detail in this guide.

This guide only discusses how you can do the dribble handoff pass. However, to become a flexible player, you’ll need to learn a lot more moves, which you can easily find in the rest of our NBA 2K23 guides.

DRIBBLE HANDOFF PASS IN NBA 2K23

Aim the Left Stick towards the player you want to pass the ball to and hold the circle or B button. This action will execute the dribble handoff pass.

This is a great move because it’s effective even if the teammate is not in position. The teammate can take a running start into the lane and intercept the ball. This two-man action causes the chasing defender to get stuck in traffic. Before you intercept the defender, simply aim the left stick at whomever you want to pass the ball to and hold down the circle or B button to pass it to your teammate.

WHY IS THE DRIBBLE PASS IMPORTANT?

You’ll have a lot of options once you bring your ball-handler closer to your teammates.

The dribble pass is a simple enough move that is super effective over short distances.

The pass also decreases the effectiveness of ball denial.

The players executing the move can do so in motion: the ball handler handoffs mid-dribble allowing the teammate to receive the ball while they are already on the run.

The ball-handler can finally screen or body-block the defender and prevent them from interrupting his teammate.
