Show Notes

The Triangle Offense defined almost two decades of basketball. From the '90s to '00s, it accounted for 11 championships—six with the Chicago Bulls and five with the Los Angeles Lakers. It was complex and simple. It operated like a quantum particle, existing in two places at the same time. It could transcend or hinder, depending on the practice.

Skilluminati explores one man who unlocks the Triangle's many mysteries and how it affects one relationship across time. It's a tale of love and betrayal, confusion and wonder. It introduces Tex Winter's Triangle origins and the real rationalization behind Matt Barnes' and Derek Fisher's tussle. Once again, join us as we take a deep dive into a possible, exaggerated what-if universe.
