Is Draymond Green “The Greatest Defender Ever?” | The Big Podcast 

How about Bill Russel?

@@michamarczuk1420 he’s 6ft 10 lol 3 inches taller than Rodman, that’s neither here nor there but he was more of a freak athlete than Rodman lol he was jumping over people on a fast break but Dennis is an animal in terms of stamina. Keep in mind he wasn’t your traditional disciplined baller doing resting and taking care of his body 😂 he was partying 5-7 days a week for 5 seasons (regular & off ). That’s a slap to the face cuz he was guarding guys 2x his size and giving em the work

On the court Dennis was always motivated.

BEN WALLACE STOP PLAYING

@@freeak8830 nah

Are you saying very articulate for a black fellow?? Or for a donkey?? >:-(

😂😂😂😂

@@worldlovecrazymusic1721 imagine being passive aggressive in the comments. Sign of a weak-minded person, hiding behind emojis like a high school girl.

"Gold diggers"

Facts

as soon as she started talking about minimum ring sizes she'll accept from a man wanting to marry her just made me see her differently now..smh she looks and talk like shes the "girl next door" type girl too.. all for tv.

@UtoobeIsTrash . she's looking for self gain, she's not looking to build obviously..

Facts bro

It doesn’t justify what he said tho 😂, small ball happened a while ago since the game become positionless

@@osas5211 it happened before but he was one of the main catalyst why it has become so popular

@@osas5211 small ball existed decades ago. Don Nelson as coach used it to moderate success, mainly in part, due to the Celtics teams he played on who had Russell, and 4 others around 6'7 and under. They obviously had huge success with it due to their talent. So Green changed no part of basketball whatsoever. He, at his peak, was a magnificent defender, but a long way from the best ever. Only in his mind, which is clearly egocentric and ill educated. I recall several teams in the 80s and 90s using small ball for periods in games but those eras were dominated by massive, quality centers, so the belief in the system was not as strong as Steve Kerr had much later, which surely had a lot to do with the lineup of Kukoc, Pippen Rodman Jordan and Harper. The 90s Bull's most potent lineup. By the way, didn't Phil Jackson play on a title winning team where the tallest starting player was 6'9 with 2 small guards, and two forwards around 6'7 - 6'8. Very close to small ball in my opinion.

@@Romamb RUSSELL WAS 6ft 10 😬

@@aj79819 the warrior coach made small ball cool again not Draymound. Draymound took a page from Rodman’s book because they’re both 6ft 6 playing PF

the world missing Patrice so bad right now

For real. These folks here didn't want none of it but Patrice would've gobbled her up

Facts is use to hate him. He's actually pretty dope

Draymond was born for that era. I think Draymond would lock up Jordan, if you know basketball that shouldn't surprise you. He has the lateral movement and he's not giving any easy shots up.

The dudes shots he was blocking didn't even require him to jump because they can't jump. Its a completely different game.

@@trysephiroth007 He was blocking Kareems sky hook.

@@trysephiroth007 Wilt is arguably the GOAT. His abilities are evident.

And.....let Olajuwon play back then. Dream blocked Jordan 4x a game. What would he do against them?

His BB IQ is top level. Future coach for sure if that is what he wants to do.

@@shooter7aI think he said he doesn't want to coach

@@BlkStar99 I am sure he does no want to now. Many players like him retire....then after 2-5 years...suddenly they are coaching. Again...if he wants to.

@@shooter7a I doubt it. He doesn't want to be in a situation where he possibly deals with players that don't want to win as much as he does.

@@BlkStar99 you could be right. Trying to understand another persons motivations and drives is impossible.

People put Pippen in the conversation and he's never won a defensive player of the year.

Gotta talk about how you measure greatest of all time. If you talking about teams who built off of their best defenders' prowess then only Ben and Draymond should be in the convo out of your 5 names.

Draymond is a better defender than Rudy cmon now

Rudy Gobert is nowhere near an all-time great defender. The truly great defenders have to prove themselves in the Playoffs. When your opponent can literally make you unplayable in a series, then you are not great

This is horrible logic

Hello mister obvious

If nostalgia wasn’t a factor and for the era that they each played for they both have really strong arguments and there really isn’t a clear cut answer

What happened?

Correct

Rodman would be trash in this era. Rodman was all just punishment to the opponent. That don't happen now lol

Right how dare Dryamond have confidence in his abilities.

@@soundwriter3083 I don't deny the fact he is a good defender....just not the best there was...

@@pauljansen1137 Im a huuuge dray fan but I know hes not the best of all time, but I do like his mentality. Cant be the best if you dont think ur the best

Crazy that people hate on this so much when even Shaq, Webber, and Candace Parker backin him up for saying this.

Ngl she exposed herself for being a gold digger lol

Steph carried a sorry team the whole season

@@WhiteMambalmao Steph can't make the playoffs without KD or Klay

They never played sports seriously either, they wouldn't understand Dray's mindset.

Yup. Cant be the best if you dont think ur the best

Over confidence is naivety

@@billycost893 There is no such thing as overconfidence, theres just confidence

MJ never said he was the greatest, even though he knew he was.

Rodman clamped no one....them series were 5 on 1....stop.

Don't forget he clamped Shaq when he was on the Magics.

Ya cuz you broke son

What about his facilitating and high basketball IQ?

Definitely not where it stops. All time defender

Stop

Rodman was never able to shut down Shaq lol. He just did a better job at trying to slow down Shaq compared to other players in the league. No one in NBA history could shut down Shaq. Hakeem couldn't shut down Shaq either. It's just that Hakeem could score at will against Shaq. Neither Hakeem or Shaq could guard eachoher. They both would score 30 on eachother's heads. Go rewatch their finals against eachother.

shaq avg 27 and 13 vs rodman .....he shut down shaq ?😂

@@ziginaigra i think he might be referring to the game Rodman held Shaq to 0 points

@Versatile Wolf no hate at all… it’s the truth..

@Versatile Wolf He wasn't a better defender than Ben Wallace, Mutombo, Ron Artest, Tony Allen, Kobe, Jordan, Pippen, Kawhi, Tim Duncan, KG, Rodman, Dwight Howard, etc...the list goes on.

@@fusionn4316 Rodman too

@Versatile Wolf Those people don't know basketball, let them be with their hatred.

@Versatile Wolf Dude he couldn’t even Guard a hurt LeBron James and a hurt Anthony Davis

Thats... literally what Most Improved Player is for.

@@MegaHariboboy exactly that’s why ja morant won it cause he had a breakout season and his team went from the play in tournament to 2nd seed

Such a simple minded way to view mvp

@Versatile Wolf draymond this your burner dawg? There’s no one in the world they would say Draymond Green was a better defender and Dennis Rodman

Im a huuuge dray fan but I know hes not the best of all time, but I do like his mentality. Cant be the best if you dont think ur the best

Pippen never won it

@@blackbeard5588 Dennis is a better defender, but Draymond is a better team defender. Also the problem with Draymond is his peak only lasted 2 years, and most people weren't watching at the time due to hating the warriors.

@@bh7902 should have

What happened?

@@DRose1101 uh did you not watch the video ?

Maybe not single because she's somewhat attractive but no guy is gonna be taking her serious enough to marry 😂

in reality he is not even close to that lol

Wilt Chamberlain=stat padder and loser lol

If he wants it, all the networks will be after him. Looks like TNTs got a leg up on the other networks.

If you think that's how you judge a great defender you don't know basketball or sports in general.

@@trysephiroth007 i think Green is a very good defender, but if numbers (rebs, blks) don't matter in the consideration why is the league even keeping track of those numbers? 🤔

@@PS-dp1lw I mean, the league even keeps track of how many times a guy dribbles.

i can name u 20 more better defenders

Olajuwon schooled him.

@@pickzkickz Hakeem used to school everyone.

@@tashrif46 🤣🤣🤣

dumars,payton,robinson,kg,artest,mourning,tony allen and few more ...green is not even top 20
