The essence of a dirty play.


Ingredients:

Find an opposing player not watching behind him.

Know the opposing player is a great threat to your team and has a hurt lower back.

Wait for the player to be in an illegal position to be hit and then lean into an illegal pick as the player is JUMPING in the air.

Make sure that the opposing player is hit EXACTLY where he was previously injured to make sure he feels the maximum amount of pain.

Walk away like nothing happened.

A screen is the legal action of a player
who, without causing undue contact,
delays or prevents an opponent from
reaching a desired position.
