"Iverson STS Flare" is a set that creates an advantage with a ball screen, while offering an opportunity for a lob, or a 3-point shot. It is a set that can be run on multiple possessions, to generate a rhythm offensively. See More

The Chicago Bulls ran this pick and roll play to take advantage of the Boston Celtics strategy of switching guard to guard ball screens. When 3 sets the ball screen he makes sure to get underneath x1 and pin his defender opening himself up for the lob. 1 quickly passes to 5 to improve the passing angle and 5 makes the lob pass to 3.

"Pistol Invert Flare" uses an invert wing ball screen, as a wrinkle to the traditional "Pistol Action." This is especially effective, if a team is denying the wing entry. I first saw this being ran by the Cleveland Cavs. See More

"1-Up Pop" is a counter play, off of the basic "1-Up" action. The weak side is cleared out, and the point guard is reading a back screen. The hope is that the lob will be available. If not, the back screener will out cut, and could have a shot. If the defense switches, then there is a high/low look. See More

The "STS Zipper Flip" should be run to soften up the defensive ball screen coverage. It puts the post player in a scramble to defend the ball screen. When the screener "flips the screen," the guard is suddenly attacking down hill, with no post defender to show on the screen. See More

"Iverson STS Chase" is a set that is triggered by an Iverson Cut. After the Iverson Cut, there is a screen-the-ballscreener action, which helps eliminate the ability for the defense to "Ice" or "Trap" the ball screen, which are the traditional defensive attacks to challenge a wing ballscreen.

"Iverson STS Flare" is one of my favorite ball screen sets, due to the multiple actions that occur around the ball screen. The Iverson Cut initiates the set, which is followed by a screen-the-ballscreener action. To really challenge the defense, there is a weak side flare screen, and a back screen for the ball screener. If read properly, this set is incredibly hard to defend. See More

"Horns Double" is another wrinkle off of the basic "Horns Action." The set creates multiple actions, behind the ball screen. With the post player defending the ball screen, the help is eliminated on the weak side double stagger screen. If the defense recovers, the play ends with a Flare screen for the 4. This set requires the defense to have perfect switches and/or a perfect scramble rotation. As we see, throughout the history of basketball, great offense has an advantage over great defense. This set creates those advantages. See More

"Horns Flare" is a wrinkle off of the basic "Horns Action," It has two major benefits. The first is that it puts the big, who is in the middle of defending a ball screen action, into a tough defensive scramble. If read properly, this will create a big offensive advantage. It also occupies both bigs, away from the basket, which opens the lane for an aggressive drive from the guard. See More

This is the basic "Horns Action," which can be used in a late shot clock situation, or to allow a good point guard to read the action. See More
