NBA Sr. Vice President of Replay & Referee Operations Joe Borgia breaks down screens, and provides specific examples of both legal and illegal screens.
I remember as soon as I was gonna screen on a guy he just elbows me as soon as I'm going to put my body on him pause... but yeah foul asf he's like nah no foul
@@iiTzLurks just keep ur forearms up and tucked in like Jokic @6:00. its legal since you are in ur cylinder and it makes you super firm and helps deliver that nice hard body contact. sure it leaves you open for a nut shot but that usually doesnt happen if im playing pickup i will turn my hands out and catch their body if someone is going hard and not looking cuz im not trying to put a hit on anyone in a pickup game. all legal just cant hold the body but if they are playing dirty trying to push me out the way ya ill hold the body
Thanks for this content! Someone at the gym scolded at me for making an illegal moving screen and I knew I didnt do anything wrong. I'm glad this video confirms it.
Fr it’s annoying how people get very salty, especially when they’re losing. But yeah Most times I say, “Yo, it’s a game” smh. We’re not playing in the nba finals.
warriors are notorious for breaking the rules with illegal screens, people don't shine the light on it, because people are so worried about their "gorgeous" ball movement, they don't know a single thing about illegal screens
why does GSW get away with illegal screens on almost every possession? With their shooters, this is an egregious non call. Like allowing Shaq to charge. Did the league want a new dynasty?
It has been my experience that a lot of the illegal screens that get called are a result of the ball handler's actions and not the screeners. The ball handlers have a tendency to start moving toward the screen BEFORE the screener gets set, causing the screener to set an illegal screen.
As a screener myself, it's on us if we want to make an illegal screen, if my teammate started running before I set the screen,, then the defender of that guy started moving, I would stay still to where I am, so that I won't be running towards the defender and make an illegal screen.
Great explanation. There dozens and dozens of plays happening in today's game that would be called a foul 30 years ago. Mostly moving screens and travelling. When I say dozens and dozens, I mean dozens and dozens PER GAME. So old-heads and old-players do have a legitimate gripe about the game today. It's more entertaining from an offensive sensation perspective, but it really does make it so the game requires less skill and no one is required to color within the lines. It's crazy how the game cleaned up physical contact fouls but allowed these types of fouls (moving screens and travelling) to run rampant.
This video didnt age really well with todays NBA :) Not a single screen at NBA todays were legal Edit : also not a single screen is illegal in NBA at the same time
...so your telling me wide screens are legal until you start tripping over their legs? So a player should purposely trip vs. trying to avoid it to try to get the ref call?
Sir you’re clearly mistaken…hungoori said these are all legal. He also invented basketball and the rulebook. You should come on Wednesday nights so you can watch him play football. Best offensive lineman ever ;)
Say you are in the paint, and the ball handler is at the top of the 3pt line. Then, one of the people on offense begins to push you to either corner, which leads to an open lane for the ball handler. Would that be illegal?
That's a legal, play, makes you work for your defensive position. But if the push is too obvious and not just a simple overpowering of bodies, then that's illegal.
my qns is, if I am the screen, and the person is bigger than me, crash in me, cause me to move and moves into me again. Is that an illegal screen? since I am moving?
because they are protected by the league, like the kobe and shaq lakers, and the big 3 guys of the miami heat with lebron, and the lebron-kyrie cavs, they are protected
So of a player sticks his but out in the last second of the screen, causing the the player to be bumped off their path, that should be illegal. I seen that happen a lot in the a nba and it wouldn't be called.
i stood still in the middle of the court and someone who didn't saw me ran into me and got mad accusing me of a dirty screen? justified? was i wrong? plz answer
People tend to react sometimes when they get hit with something they didn't see coming, fight or flight kind of situation. If he didn't see you then how could he accuse you of a dirty screen? If you know what you did was legal and on the guidelines of this video and not dirty then that's all that matters.
warriors* offense, all clippers do is iso, unless you are talking about this season, they did lots of moving screens, they were called for it sometimes
That is why the screen must be set up well before the offensive player make a move...maximize the space between the player and the screener..make sure the defender cannot recover from the screen
Seems to me- If an opponent doesnt have an opportunity to avoid it- youre initiating the contact. If you're set and they have an opportunity to avoid it- they're initiating the contact
