Probably the most basic offence there is. The most basic play in the motion offence involves two players at the high post (aka 'the elbow', the edges of the key at the free-throw line). Then there are two wing players down at the low post and one out on the wing. The play starts with the ball on the weak side (the side without the player on the wing). Then the wing player on that side in the post pops out to the wing. Now the wing player on the opposite post sets a screen for the guy out on the wing. That guy comes across and tries to get the ball in the paint for a lay-up, and the guy setting the screen tries to box out his man and get open for a lay-up on the other side (usually more likely to get the ball to the screener. Then the ball is reversed back to the other high post player and the play starts again. If that high post player can't get the ball he screens down for low post guy and they switch roles.
It works best with a team that is fairly athletic and everyone can handle the ball. An NBA example would be a team like Phoenix. A team like Houston couldn't run this play very well because neither Yao or Juwan can handle the ball very well.
