Explain One Play: the secret origin of the Cyclone play

So Ethan Sherwood Strauss set me straight on some details about the Cyclone play from the recent Explain One Play: Curry screens for Looney cyclone dunk. I wrote:

This is a very brief history of the classic Steve Kerr play “Cyclone” and how Stephen Curry screened for a Kevon Looney dunk in the Bulls-Warriors game on Nov 24 2017. This is a classic play that we’ve discussed in the past under the name “Warriors Rip” because a backscreen for a cut straight down the lane is sometimes called a Rip.
