PLAY #46: "BIG POP"

3 SECONDS TO WIN

PLAY INTENT

This STS quick-hitter is designed to free your stretch-big for a clean perimeter shot. A guard-led stagger forces confusion and switching, leaving a smaller defender to contest the big.

FINAL THOUGHT

Basketball is a game of habits. Defenses are programmed to react to the player who usually scores (the guard) and ignore the player who usually screens (the big). “Big Pop” exploits this psychological blind spot perfectly, turning your screener into the ultimate game-winning weapon.
