NBA Legends LeBron James and Steve Nash Analyze the Evolution of Basketball Offense

In a recent episode of 'Mind the Game,' NBA stars LeBron James and Steve Nash delved into the diminishing utilization of the 'triangle offense' in contemporary basketball. James explained that the current style of play, coupled with modern defensive strategies, makes running the full triangle offense highly challenging. He noted that while the complete system is less prevalent, certain foundational elements and concepts from the triangle offense are still integrated into current team strategies. Nash concurred, highlighting how aspects like 'post splits' and '21' plays, which involve pitching the ball ahead and chasing it, are essentially extended versions of triangle components. Both legends agreed that while the game's overall landscape has changed, the triangle offense continues to have an underlying impact on modern basketball.
