Brad Stevens uses Isaiah Thomas as a screener frequently because of the extra attention the Celtics' top scorer receives. A common screen-the-screener action is the Flex set up, where Thomas would come off a down screen after setting the Flex. Instead, he sets a back screen here after the flex, with the rim unguarded on the flex overload for an easy alley oop opportunity. See More

Team USA ran this play with 5:14 left in the 1st quarter in the gold medal game against Serbia. The relatively easy screening action proved difficult to guard when they put two shooters at the 4 (Kevin Durant) and the 2 (Klay Thompson) spots. Serbia was able to deny the initial pass to Durant but when he cut to the wing his defender had to stick with him. This gave space to Thompson to read the screen and get open along the baseline for the shot. See More

Variation of the Spurs iconic "motion weak" demonstrated by the USA Women's National Team in their quarterfinal win over Japan in the 2016 Rio Olympics. Instead of the signature cross screen/down screen sequence, the screen sets a back screen after the cross screen. Set a good screen, cause help, then separate from th screen for a three-point opportunity. See More
