NBA agent Bernie Lee on tanking: Another story I want to tell you involves a person I have known forever: Jay Triano. I have never met a person who loves the game and is obsessed with it in various ways as much as Jay. If you ever meet him, ask him to show you his three-basketball shot that immediately ends every game of horse if he gets you to an S. Only a person who has spent a shocking amount of time in a gym with a basketball (or three) is capable of doing that. Jay was coaching a game for the Phoenix Suns where his team was tied with 0.7 seconds left and they had the ball on the sideline. Jay was, remarkably, the only person in the gym who had memorized the basketball rule book so thoroughly that he knew you are allowed to offensive goaltend an inbounds pass according to the rules. So the play Jay drew up was for the inbounder to purposely shoot the ball at the basket and try to make it and for Tyson Chandler to offensive goaltend it at the very last second to win the game - and guess what, it worked.
