Derrick Rose says the Knicks' triangle offense is 'complicated'

[truebluefan]

The triangle offense can be a divisive topic in the NBA. It's the "sharing is caring" offense that helped the Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls to six titles and the Shaquille O'Neal/Kobe Bryant Los Angeles Lakers to three titles in their era and five titles total for Phil Jackson's Lakers teams overall. However, the times it hasn't involved Jordan or Kobe, it's been a mess. It's a bit too complicated for a lot of players to grasp right away, and that's why most good offenses have taken elements from it but not strictly installed it as the absolute offensive system.

Count Derrick Rose in as someone who finds it complicated. He told reporters after a New York Knicks practice this week that it's "complicated" as a system and that Jackson got involved in the practice in a grumpy manner after the Knicks weren't throwing the ball into the post enough for his liking.
