People asked why didnt Chris paul and booker ever both have really good games in the finals? Lol cause one of them was always being locked up by holiday
@udYi Q not true. Some guys literally aren’t good at defense lol. Whether Lou will wants to play D or not what difference will it make? He’s getter torched regardless
Just tremendous One of the Great defenders in NBA history. No one t hat he was the primary defender of had a great offensive game in this series. Also best defender on KD, Kyrie, Lillard, Harden, Steph, Beale, Luka Jason Tatum, Butler etc.etc. Woww
His feet sliding is really unique - efficient hops that covers driving angles while the low hands allow a better chance of stripping the ball. So cool to watch him pressure the opposing PG
jrue holiday is the absolute best at guessing where his assignment wants to dribble he reads movement so fucking well and does it so clean. one of if not the only defenders that plays clean defense and doesnt get away with hacking like other elite defenders.
Yo if Jrue had Pat Beverly type of grit and edge he would really psychologically ruin many top level players careers. He's a pretty humble dude and for the sake of others that's a good thing 😂🐱😂
the lost art of defense. its still nice to see players playing D. Nowadays, superstars' defense are their offense. Also, front offices now choose to build superteams that are poorly coached. Coaches now just juggle egos and let their superstars do whatever they want on the floor. Which is why i love the bucks. No hate, not a bandwagoner here. I just appreciate the way they played.
This is why his shooting numbers fluctuate. It’s hard being a 2 way player. When you play D like him all game you don’t have the legs on the offensive end.
God bless Jrue man!!!! Milwaukee Bucks champions 2021 only with help of God!!! History made only with help of God!!!! This year was one of the best man praised be Jesus!!!! And there are a lot of years to come like this!!! God bless you!!!
Jrue was locking them up like crazy. They always asked for the screen switch, but bucks would do the same with cp3. Middleton or jrue would always switch on to cp3 for offense, cp3 and booker always tried to switch jrue off of them. It was a thing of beauty
Jrue is the perfect piece of the puzzle that the Bucks needed to get over the hump. His defense is superb! I give him a lot of credit to why the Bucks won the championship.
Playing elite defense on an era where it is so hard to play defense. If you're guarding the perimeter, you will need to go through a lot of screens, gets targeted on switches against big men, not to mention that the foul baiting was still happening on that season. It's just amazing to watch Jrue avoiding all those screens, guarding big men who is 50 lbs heavier and 7 inches taller than him.
That's exactly why these dumb takes about the bucks gonna be trashed again next season. Everyone is already counting them out because of Brooklyn. They have 4 elite level defenders with a lot of confidence and championship experience. That translates to Playoff basketball.
So true.. they're predicting as if the bucks are just one of the easy one to go around,now that they knew how to win a Chip,they will be more hungry.... especially with how Holiday is playing great defense and Gianni's confidence is on the roof..they will be hard to reckon....I know Gianni's really want to be a complete player ,trying to improve his 3',but I think he has to concentrate on his post up and 15 footer ..I think he will be unstoppable...
head coaches from little league to the pros should use jrue holiday defense as an exemplary display of modern defense. Wow, I ain't seen hard nose defense like this since the 80's and 90's; when you had guys who's job was to only play defense! He d'd up and elite pg ball handler and passer and a top scorer in the nba, wow.
If the Bucks had Wesley matthews starting in this one, Bucks would have it easier guarding both Chris Paul and Devin Booker. Because PJ Tucker only guards forwards and bigs
