We've all heard of the Triangle Offense, but when push comes to shove, most of us would have a hard time articulating exactly what it is.
In case you missed it (and I don't think it's been posted here before) this article in the New York Times last June, traces the history of this system from it's origin with "Tex" Winter, through the Phil Jackson years with Chicago and L.A. right through to the present day Knicks.
It's a wonderful read- a well researched, analytical, yet lighthearted article with interesting insights into some of the biggest personalities in the history of basketball. I knew very little about "Tex" Winter. What a great character.
