@@LockdownDefense Right... It's only worth it if the offensive player is your 1 or 2 option offensively, taking 25 plus shots a night. You can make up the difference there (hence why luka is considered by most a top 4 player)... but Klay gonna shoot like 10-13 shots a game. He's gonna need to hit at a 50% + clip AND basically only shoot threes for them to make up the difference there and that's just on an individual basis, not accounting for the combined atrocity that luka+Kyrie+Klay perimeter defense will be. I have a feeling by the end of the year you'll see a lot more of grimes or whoever their best wing defender is playing the key minutes late and they will ultimately regret the move - especially considering his age.
Because media promotes offense and by the way is and excellent scorer when he received proper touches he did against trae young when Gianni was hurt and he did against Chris paul
@@ShakataelBebesito End of the day offense is valued more than defense...Media and GM's are guilty of this. But when you hear players talk about the Celtics team they all say the same thing... "once they got Jrue". It wasn't Kris. It wasn't JB and JT getting better. It was grabbing a guy like Jrue that made all the other players know the celtics were for real for real.
Jrue is so good! Still can't believe the Bucks cut him loose and he ended up in Boston. Bucks fans still trying to convince themselves it was a smart trade but Jrue is exponentially better than Dame on defense to a degree that can't be overcome by Dame's offense. Jrue is just so good at everything on the court especially, as you show here, on defense. Great work!
@@andrewmclure7978 In fact, I do. Dame is a one dimensional shooter. He is among the very best at that specific skill, but in a league where scorers are easier than ever to come by (as Luka once observed it's easier to score in the NBA than in FIBA), Jrue's skill set is far less replicable and frankly far more crucial to playing winning team basketball. Jrue > Dame. Always has been. Always will be.
@crotdacrude jrue is an all star level role player. Love jrue, but he can't ever carry the offensive load or be the #2 scorer; and that's what milwaukee needed with Middleton's injury. Jrue fits Boston so well because he really just has to defend and facilitate and just score when open. It's all about team need. If Middleton had stayed healthy and in 2021 form, Bucks might ve had more success and kept Jrue.
Thank you Coach Mike. I can't tell you how many times I have heard or said "defense is all about effort." It's also about skills, the skills that you're teaching here. We appreciate the thorough breakdown 🙏
This a wonderful edit that showcases Jrue's fairly unique interdiction of the ball. I was talking to someone who was complaining about how Jrue is the only guy who gets away with these moves without getting called, and I pointed out that I think it's bc the ball is almost always coming out, fast, in the direction that Jrue is moving. Whether that's stripping the ball in that hollow space, bursting into the space the offensive player wants to go to and punching it out with his outside hand, or sliding and stripping it with the pinning inside arm, Jrue is almost always in control, and can usually take the ball in his next stride. There's such a clear visual indicator that he's played the ball - because it is shooting out in whatever direction he is moving - the refs arent inclined to notice whatever incidental contact occurred. Not sure it's possible to replicate if someone doesnt have his spooky hand-eye coordination, and his balance - Holiday's handle is sublime, and his ability to settle deflected and kicked balls with a quick, one-handed dribble, all while changing direction at speed, is unlike anyone I've ever seen play. Great video, coach!
Good job highlighting Jrue's defensive talent. There's a reason that some of the best offensive players in the NBA consider him the best on-ball defender in the league. According to guys like PG and KD, it isn't even that close either. Beyond that, Jrue is just a guy that does what it takes to win. Watching his passes, shot selection and defense, the guy just has a sky-high basketball IQ on both sides of the ball.
Thank you! Great video as usual I hope you make a Derick White blocks video or how in general how guards can get blocks. Thank you again for your channel
So coach would you say his defensive stance is more upward stance to stay between the ball and the basket or a classic because he doesn’t have a forward stance
@@LockdownDefense coach if I send you some of my highlights can you help my defense can you tell me what stance is my stance and what I can do better please I am a overseas pro and im a 3&D guy
This why LaMelo always has Jrue on skates 😂. His whole defense is predicated on waiting for you to switch the ball to your other hand while he is riding your hip (Kobe has a good instructional vid in this method), and also “beating” players to their spot, reaching in, and hoping the refs don’t blow the whistle. Guards who can easily dribble behind their legs give him fits.
ok ok, i’m not an nba player or pro level( yet.) but i don’t usually get to hip level with the defender but do slide like Holiday, and i other variations of what he does but coach gets mad at me for it…..so now i have an excuse 😂😂great video
While all of these techniques might seem to be really effective. To pull these off you need exceptional conditioning and innate physical talent. Running sideways and backwards, as fast as the opposing offensive player, keeping balance still, require great core strength and those swipe steals require long arms
Coaches have been teaching the step slide and not bringing your feet together forever only to have clips of the best defenders shuffling lateral, turning a running, opening their hips, to stay in front of players.
Mavs fans called him a role player who won’t have an effect of the game. 😂😂😂 I swear mavs fans are the biggest casuals ever! Locked on Mavs host compared Jaylen Brown to Lou Dort and Mcdaniels on the Wolves!! Saying JB can’t defend like them! 😂😂😮😮😮 what?!?!!?!? Ok just wait lol.
I will never understand why teams keep trading this guy. He is exactly what you want in a point guard to the tee
Because bad gms don’t realize the impact of good defense until they don’t have it… mavs are about to learn that one after giving up DJJ to get klay
100% you can see the arms race in defense from the good teams with great GMs
@@LockdownDefense Right... It's only worth it if the offensive player is your 1 or 2 option offensively, taking 25 plus shots a night.

Facts, the bucks will so much regret trading jrue holiday. They literally traded one of the best defenders of all time
The Bucks over reacted after Jimmy Butler went off on him. I wonder if Giannis is also to blame for the trade as well.
Surely you don’t think Jrue is a better player than Dame

never would have thought that defense could be cooler than offense (in any field), but then I heard of Jrue Holiday...
Thank you Coach Mike. I can't tell you how many times I have heard or said "defense is all about effort." It's also about skills, the skills that you're teaching here. We appreciate the thorough breakdown 🙏
I was waiting for this video for years. Even commented asking if you could make one about jrue. Thank you
I’ve always just been amazed at his reaction time and hand eye coordination
I was waiting for this video years... Thank you❤
Me too
Who’s next? Caruso?
@@LockdownDefenseyes please coach love these videos but Haywood highsmith and bam adebayo would also be nice
@@LockdownDefense yes pls
@@LockdownDefenseyes for sure!!! Also you can do ant or a new video to how to take good angles...

Been watching you since the Abradly vids, I absolutely love the way u break down how great defenders do what they do
Appreciate you!
Definitely was waiting on this one for years now!
Pro tip. Be an elite level freak athlete and defense will be easy.
I needed this a lot thanks Brodie.
I love those videos for lockdown defense! Can you make Mookie Blaylock or Alonzo Mourning?
ive never been actually "fascinated" by basketball until i saw a comp of this dude on tiktok today... he's so damn smart 😭
Thanks for the work Coach
great breakdown coach!!
Thank you, appreciate the support!
Thank you! Great video as usual
I hope you make a Derick White blocks video or how in general how guards can get blocks.
Thank you again for your channel
Great Details!
Excellent!
Great vid
Amazing video. Hoping to incorporate some of this into my game as well.
Any chance we can get a Jalen Suggs video?
Yooooooooo this is cray cray
LETS GO JRUE HOLIDAY
Show me how to clamp it down Jrue style coach. Time to take notes!
You got it! Start locking down
Hey is Miles from TCA a couple weeks ago and i wanted to thank bc ive seen leaps in my defense since your clinic
Love to hear it Miles! Keep it up and keep locking up. You guys were great
Thanks, amazing video
Appreciate the support!
YO LETS GOOOOO I'M WAITING FOR THIS ONE
To me, he has been the best on ball defender for the past 7 yrs
How should i deal with jrue holiday level defence
are you saying he hollows out after he takes the contact or the hollow out happens just before he takes the contact?.
What stance do he use could like explain the position
He uses more of an upward or classic stance
i need you to post more
So coach would you say his defensive stance is more upward stance to stay between the ball and the basket or a classic because he doesn’t have a forward stance
I would say more classic. Because he is still pretty low but not leaning forward
@@LockdownDefense ok I’m going to try this
@@LockdownDefense coach if I send you some of my highlights can you help my defense can you tell me what stance is my stance and what I can do better please I am a overseas pro and im a 3&D guy

2 rings aint that poor a return considering that handicap...
Coach Im the tallest dude on my team 6’8 and I want to learn how to be a rim protector could you make a video on rim protection please
You should watch the Garnett, Hakeem, Whiteside videos!
dude's gotta have the cardio of a horse to shuffle and stick with the ball like that lmao
No wonder Kyrie had a hellish Finals.
Dwhite and Jholliday are demons on defense
I mean lack of spacing plays in jrue holiday favor.
AD next plz
My you plz do Giannis next
Can you do Draymond Green?
ok ok, i’m not an nba player or pro level( yet.) but i don’t usually get to hip level with the defender but do slide like Holiday, and i other variations of what he does but coach gets mad at me for it…..so now i have an excuse 😂😂great video
Do 1 of davion mitchell he n elite defender
Let's just say Jrue is not lazy on D and doesn't flop.he does the normal that most players should do.
While all of these techniques might seem to be really effective. To pull these off you need exceptional conditioning and innate physical talent. Running sideways and backwards, as fast as the opposing offensive player, keeping balance still, require great core strength and those swipe steals require long arms
They gotta put bro steal animation on 2k. Nobody stealing the ball on ball defense like that consistently.
Good to see this defense is allowed in nba, in fiba he would be out for 5 fouls in 2 minutes for those hip checks
Holiday is so strong that he can chest stop Hachimura and Randles
YESSSSSSSS!
Coaches have been teaching the step slide and not bringing your feet together forever only to have clips of the best defenders shuffling lateral, turning a running, opening their hips, to stay in front of players.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
