First Bill Russell, the Pete Carril, who implemented the tactic the Celtics used to dominate.

does d3 mean you played for fun ?

@Travis Hanks The three elements of offensive basketball are 1] ball movement via a] passing the ball or b] by dribbling the ball or c] carrying the ball with obvious limitations of rules and parameters, 2] Player movement a] without the ball and with the ball b] with the ball , 3] spacing [ A common that is something true of most team sports and even tennis. ] Most offenses lean in the direction of two of these elements and make less use of the third. a good coach makes use of what is at hand to win. same thing is true of an organization and the specific gifts and highly developed skills of a teams go to players. really tall people are not a dime a dozen in the world. Often times the average coach will find himself in a situation where he is lacking size on his basketball team simply because of the fact average people are not the ideal physical makeup to be stars in basketball. in this case one has to adjust to use methhods that are not as commonplace or that make use of something else. steve kerr happened upon a team with a skill set with which he was highly familiar with and leaned in the direction of Ball movement and player movement to create space. If you have Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson then that is what you do. Notice the smartest decision would have been to draft Lamelo Ball for them but they drafted a Big Man, James Wiseman, and their big free agent signing of recent years have been fo Big Men. they are moving back to a much more physical brand of basketball slowly but surely.

Basically the split cut originates back in the 60s but the triangle offense was that used it a lot and made it famous.

@@kostaskoukos3932 I am a former basketball coach and part historian . I saw the interview where Princeton head coach Pete Carill said he got his Offense from the 1960's Boston Celtics. 😅😅😅

If 5 guys can do that you have good basketball player with skills
