I can sort of form a mental picture reading that but part of it seem vague (to me, anyway). I would understand the rule a lot better by seeing than by reading a description. That E1P would help a lot. Please do it!
BTW, the clarification to my question is how to tell the difference between the defender impeding the freedom of movement of an off ball player and a moving screen. There are clear examples of either one but also plenty of times it could be both simultaneously.

NBA Video Rulebook actually has some good examples of illegal screens: https://videorulebook.nba.com/?s=illegal+screen
Would be even more useful if it compared them to legal screens, though.
Thanks, I didn't know about the video rulebook, that's a great resource. Bookmarked!
Which one, illegal screens?
Yes please, illegal screens. And an E1P about why LGW posts duplicates sometimes... just kidding. :)
I third. There are times when a moving screen is called and my eyes are nowhere near where it took place and I’m left wondering what happened.

Thank you Mr A! You answer questions I'm too embarrassed to ask!
That’s what mailbag is for!! I hope people won’t be embarrassed to ask ”simple” questions, because so many people have the same questions.
