Iverson cut examples


The Iverson cut consists of action that occurs when an offensive player who is initially on one side of the court, usually near a wing area, cuts through to the other side, which is typically the opposite wing area, ultimately to get open and receive the basketball.

Moreover, the Iverson cut is commonly accompanied by two high post screens to help the cutter get open but this is not absolutely required in every instance.
