    I'm not talking about making the right decision after the screen. I'm talking about the physical act of setting the screen. Obviously theres reads that need to be made on where to move after that, but thats not a part of setting the screen in my opinion. Maybe its a disagreement on semantics instead. I dunno.

    It's a moot point.

    Technique is easily learned and (to a lesser extent) applied, but what a player does before and after a screen is set is so much more important towards whether a screen is effective for the offense which is what ultimately matters.

    Pure size, strength and a player's physicality / mentality also plays a part, like I've already talked about.

    I'm only talking about technique, so I think we just disagree on the semantics of it.

    See, when I think about "Setting a good screen" I view it in regards to technique only, since players aren't in control of their size. So Isaiah Thomas setting a good screen would be setting it to the best of his ability with good technique. Obviously a bigger more physical player will have a bigger and stronger screen.

    I also only view "setting" the screen as the act of setting the screen alone. Not what comes after (because making reads is something that some players can be taught and some can't).

    That post was not an insult one bit. That was calling somebody out on their bullshit. So I guess it will just continue?

    That's the thing man, I don't hold grudges, even against people who have insulted my family. But you have so many people that hold grudges against me even though they've personally insulted me more than anything else... People will "quote" me on "always" saying certain things, but it'll always be phrases they make up and don't actually include a quote from me. Why? Because they hold a grudge.
    I like to debate basketball. I'm strongly-opinionated. Many others are as well, and argue as such. I have no problem with that. I enjoy that. Others do apparently, since they engage in it as well.

    Drop the grudge, John. Nothing about this is personal. At least, it shouldn't be.
