Instead of explaining it to you, I'll just link you to a nice explanation. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_offense

I gave your question a lot of thought, and I researched online for some offenses that might work.  I found an informative site that is the best free site I have seen with all kinds of basketball information, offenses, defenses, you name it.\n\nMaybe it will help.\nhttp://www.coachesclipboard.net/BasketballOffenses.html

I am 6 years experienced nba live player.Direct ur player to the ring and move the right analog DOWN. If u are Yao, press the triangle during low post and when u are a half meter close to the ring. its a powerful move for yao, hes to tall to be blocked as easy as that.\nIf u play Duncan, just press timingly SQUARE during low post, Duncan's arching shots rarely misses when good timing.

Kobe Bryant can! I think he scored 81 points in one game this year. No one else came close.

The Spurs won 96 to 85 over the Lakers with Tim Duncan scoring 20 points and getting 13 rebounds and Tony Parker adding 19 points. The Spurs had 6 players in double figures. Kobe scored  only 23 points on a dismal 9 of 26 from the field after being harassed by Bruce Bowen the whole night.

Despite an influx of new guards (Shammond Williams, Jordan Farmar, and Maurice Evans, just to name a few) into the Lakers organization, Sasha Vujacic may be retained by the Lakers next season as he has extensive knowledge of the triangle offense, having played under this system for the last two years.  \n\nVujacic has also invested a lot of time during the summer in perfecting his knowledge of the team's triple-post offense (the real name of the famous "triangle offense.").\n\nThe biggest test to see if the Lakers will be willing to keep him would be if they offer him a contract extension next season.  Under NBA rules, first round picks have a guaranteed three year contract plus a team option for a fourth season.  On or before the expiration of the original three-year deal, teams can extend a one-year qualifying offer for the fourth year.\n\nIf the Lakers were to give Vujacic this offer, chances are they will also give him a long term extension at the conclusion of the four-year deal.  Only time will tell if this what will happen as Sasha has to do his part and play well to earn the new contract.\n\nHope this helps!

I think this means that there are signs of the playoffs for the Lakers. I always knew they could do it- it just takes team effort. If Lamar Odom posts numbers like those every night, the Lakers are going to be contenders, no matter what. Look at the stats- we shot .506 from the field, and we held Detroit to shooting .432 from the field. So what if Smush didn't score double-digits. So what if the Lakers had more turnovers, fouls? Kwame Brown did a great job on Rasheed in the second-half, and Kobe did a great job fending off Tayshaun and limiting Chauncey to only 4 second-half points. We had our rebounder- 12 from Kwame. Our assister- 10 from Odom, and our 2 scorers- 40 from none other than Kobe, and 24 from Odom. We outplayed them and outdid them in the second half. Now this is nothing to celebrate about. It's a big win for the Lake-show, but if they obsess over it, tonight's game vs. the Spurs is going to kill us. We need to play the same way we did against the Pistons in our game against the Spurs. People like Brian Cook and Devean George chipping in, they may not make a big difference, but enough to show some flashes of brilliance. The Lakers need teamwork to win- and once we have that, I'm sure that they can win the Finals. Give it some time- they'll do it. Go Lakers, and keep up the good work.

Play either a 3-5-2 or a diamond defense.\nIn a 3-5-2, have 2 defensive mids that mark the point of the triangle and the ball (depending on who's nearer).  Two wing defenders mark the other two points of the triangle.  Note wing mids must track other teams' wing mids all the way to the endline if need be for this to work.\nIn a 4-4-2, one central defender marks the point of the triangle.  Wing defenders mark the other two points.  4th defender acts as sweeper.  Again, wing mids must mark well.\nFinal option 4-4-2.  central defender takes one point.  defensive mid takes one point, wing defender nearest other point marks that point of the triangle.  Leaves back side defender and one central to clean up messes.\nIn my experience, third option is best.

The Lakers are playing the best basketball in the league right now.  If Kobe can continue to keep his teammates involved and they can continue to play as well as they have there is a good possibility they could be hoisting the championship trophy this June.  They just need to keep getting Kwame brown the ball inside and letting Smush Parker keep breaking people down in the lane and kicking out ala Steve Nash.  They are certainly beating the Suns at their own game offensively and stopping them on defense.

Say the point guard is dribbling the ball, and someone on the other team is guarding them. Another person on offense comes up and blocks him (called a pick) and the point guard will go around the person setting the pick. When he is past him, the one setting the pick will roll to the basket expecting a pass.

Good try, but we know that ball hog Kobe Bryant will never win unless if he has someone else on his team that can check his hoggery.  Kwame is a nobody as far as I am concerned... Kobe can score 80 points a game but that doesn't matter if the other teams get 81+    !!!

yes it is also called triangles were you are set up in a triangle with all five players and the person who has teh ball is looking for teh hat dancers. ( the two bottom corners on teh triangle) to flash and retreat from the ball one at a time hense hat dancers

Strong team there.\n\nLue and Tinsley are probably the most expendable along with Walton and Blount.\n\nKeep Martin, Pietrus and Pierce... You may be getting killed on turnovers so go with strong ball handlers.

It will also depend upon your league-I just reviewed some of the rules on website below, but generally speaking these are them...have fun. \n\nblessings

As the previous answerer said....however, in simple terms.\nMost often used against the man-to -man defense, the dribbler runs his defender off of a screen/pick set by one of his offensive players.  the screener then rolls toward the basket looking for a pass and easy basket.

No, because he's going to realize that, while scoring all those points may be great, if he wants to win another ring, the Lakers need more quality players around him.  The dumbest thing Kobe ever did was running Shaq and Phil Jackson out of town.  Phil's back, but even he couldn't lead them past the first round.
