Two steps isn’t what it used to be. A pivot foot is far from
pivotal in the NBA game of basketball. It’s the whistler-giver, never been called
and seemingly never will be ever again.
But not far behind, and not far aloof from this discretion of
migration, is a moving screen.
An NBA forward is no small man, so when they come by to set
a screen or whatever it is that Kendrick Perkins does, it’s difficult to elude.
Try finding mayonnaise in the grocery store with that one mom on the phone gallivanting
with the extended push cart, you’re destination is their challenge.
It’s no longer a plausible offense, despite it giving the
offense an undeterred advantage.
All-Stars and D-League call-ups are all pros in the art of
moving screen. Running up the court with their hands raised as if they are
completely innocent, yet going directly at the opposing guard who is helpless
and hapless to not get in the way.
They are immovable objects, in stark contrast to their very
description, in movement.
