Pick and roll

Trevor Booker sets a "screen" on Tony Parker for Kirk Hinrich

The pick and roll (also called a ball screen or screen and roll) in basketball is an offensive play in which a player sets a screen (pick) for a teammate handling the ball and then moves toward the basket (rolls) to receive a pass. In the NBA, the play came into vogue in the 1990s and has developed into the league's most common offensive action.[1] There are, however, many ways in which the defense can also counter the offensive screen.
