About This Play/Drill

This was a play run at one time by the Dallas Mavericks in their 2011 NBA Championship run. The plan was to get Dirk and Kidd in a ballscreen read situation where Dirk could isolate at one of two spots on the floor and have proper spacing around him.

  • Kidd (1) hits Marion (3) in the High Post and rubs around him towards the block. He looks like he's going to set a downscreen for Nowitzki (4).

  • Kidd changes direction and comes back around for a handoff from Marion. As soon as Kidd breaks up top, Nowitzki turns around and sets a post cross screen for Tyson Chandler (5).

  • Frame 3 shows the pick and pop option with Dirk and Kidd. While this happens, 3 and 5 set a Fence action for Jason Terry (2).

  • If Dirk delays at the elbow and doesn't raise immediately into a ballscreen for Kidd, he'll set a side ball and slip hard to the open corner. Terry will still use the Fence. This is shown in Frame 4
