A screen in Basketball is when one man on your team free's up another player on your team by 'blocking' the defender as your teammate runs of the screen or 'block.' When setting the screen, you are not allowed to move your feet, otherwise it is an illegal screen and an offensive foul. After the screen has been set, the player is freed from his defending to dribble or shoot with extra space.
