Stagger Iverson Curl

A double stagger up top that is really a timing device: while the defence guards it, both bigs walk into the elbows. The Iverson cut then runs through a middle with no tagger left in it, and the only possible helper is guarding a shooter.

Also called: stagger into iverson, iverson curl from 5-out

    4Phase 4

    4 sets his feet at the left elbow and 1 curls tight around him to the rim. Both bigs’ men are stranded at the line, so the only help is 3’s defender — and leaving is a wide-open corner.

    • 1 cuts to the rim
    • 5 passes to 1
    • 1 shoots
    • 5 passes to 3option
