 Pick and pop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In basketball, the pick and pop is an offensive play that is a derivative of the classic pick and roll.
Instead of "rolling" toward the basket, however, the player setting the pick rolls to an open area of the court to receive a pass from the ballhandler and "pops" a jump shot.
The premise between the two plays is the same: a ballhandler uses a teammate's pick to attract the attention of two defensive players to free his teammate for a scoring opportunity.

 Sonics pick at Shaq, roll past helpless Heat
The most basic two-man game in basketball is the pick and roll: To get a defensive mismatch, the big screener blocks the little shooter's defender, then rolls to the basket to receive either a pass or get in position for a rebound.
Including this year's sweep against Miami, the Sonics are 17-17 against teams employing O'Neal, primarily because there are only two things the most potent force in NBA history cannot do: Shoot free throws and chase squirmy little guards 25 feet from the basket.
The Sonics always have seemed to have shooters to make the pick and roll work, but never more than this season, when all seem to be arrayed beyond the arc.
