Backdoor

A backdoor play is when a player without the ball gets behind the defense and receives a pass for an easy score. This can be executed if the defenders are unaware of the open space behind them.

This play is most notably used by good shooters like Ray Allen of the Miami Heat or Rip Hamilton of the Chicago Bulls.
