Then he ran off on his own, to the corner, to the weak side, and sometimes lurked in the Three Second Zone.
Sometimes, the teammates scored and it seemed to have nothing to do with him.
But when the strategy was activated, Kidd always appeared in the right place.
For instance, when McGrady's shot missed, Kidd could sneak an Offensive Rebound right in front of Sabonis and Little O'Neal.
Followed by a brilliant pass to the basket, O'Neal caught the ball and slammed it with both hands, scoring.
Or when he was lurking in the weak-side corner, Lakers' low post offense stalled, and the ball returned to Kidd's hands.
One more pass from Kidd, and often the Lakers' Triangle Offense was revitalized, with very few dead ball situations.
Phil Jackson was right, Kidd was truly an excellent "off-ball organizer."
His sense of positioning is superb, which is crucial for the Triangle Offense.
In fact, for Kidd, the Triangle Offense is too simple and lacks fun.
