Defending Steph Curry: Jrue Holiday, JJ Redick Discuss how Curry is an "Alien"
Вставка

- Damian Lillard played a series against Jrue Holiday and the New Orleans Pelicans a few years ago, where they trapped him consistently and aggressively, and disrupted the offense so much that Lillard never had a big game. The Pelicans swept the Blazers 4-0, and Lillard averaged around 19 points for the series, and surely never forgot it.
Jrue Holiday, whom Dame calls the NBA's best defender among the guards, talked to JJ Redick about guarding both Dame and Curry. He mentions how he uses "tricks" like fouling the shooter on the follow through, holding, mind games, etc. and tries to keep them out of their zone, but sometimes nothing works.
He goes on to call Steph Curry an alien, because of some of the things Curry has been doing on the court, and I'm sure if you've been watching, you'd agree. High praise from a truly elite defender, something we don't have a lot of in the game today.
This kind of reminded me of Tony Allen talking about guarding Kobe, and older players talking about guarding MJ, so I hope you enjoy this short video I put together about Steph Curry. We are witnessing a once in a lifetime talent at the point guard position, and I'm happy to see he's getting his respect for it.

What Steph's tapped into is called Mastered Ultra Instinct. Few walking this earth have achieved that state. Goku is one of them
It’s fun to watch steph curry go to work this season man and I wasn’t really the biggest fan but now I’m watching every game he plays this season man.
it's the power of now and faith. "I can do all things..."
Jrue should join the Golden State Warriors. They need guys like him. 😉👍
He belongs in the top 3
there should be a pre 2000 list and a past 2000 list,the disrespect on the likes of kareem,magic,bird is crazy,so is the disrespect steph and bron are getting,you would have clear top 5s with kobe and duncan gatekeeping the transition in the 00s
You see trae young trying to do it but he is shooting in 30% barely near 38 its not possible what he does unlike jorden james has caught him but doing what he does is crazy
james is nowhere near jordan. stop
Also what is the name of the song playing in the background man. It’s so peaceful.
It's called What We Knew by Joseph Jacobs. Check out his UA-cam! He is a cool guy and makes a lot of nice laidback hip hop beats
@@RahulPresentsKobe Thank you man .
Dame is the living embodiment of Mamba mentality
Does that mentality result to wins?
First, everyone should go watch the old man and the three podcast. JJ speaks and you should listen. Trust, this is coming from a Duke HATER! JJ is 💯
Second, we should listen to players more. Excuse me, active players. Sure I respect JJ, Shaq, Charles....but doesn't Dray's podcast hit different?
Doesn't All the smoke, Point Forward and the Shop, even YT Creators hit different than MSM?
I respect sport journalism...those who went to school, wrote articles/columnists who really know the sport and rely on facts. I despise opinion shows from guys who NEVER played.
Now Perk played but gave personal opinions and was PAID to do so. It weird he is now acting like he didn't cash his check now that receipts are due.
What you all don’t understand is that God has his back, if you know God then, only then will you really understand.
Nah, Steph is an alien, that's the reason
No reason to defend steph curry, the only one that cries that he doesn't belong in the hall of fame is jordan and others who didn't and couldn't play him if they had the chance...
Dude, stop that was years ago. He and Steph are friends, Jordan accepted his mistake and said he is first ballot hall of fame.
Dont be an idiot, all Jordan said was that Steph is not an hall of famer yet. He still plays in the nba and has more things to do than think about the HOF.
@@shivamgiri4334 Jordan didnt accept his mistake because it was not a mistake, Curry is not an hall of famer yet. He has more stuff to do in the nba before the thought of being in the HOF even crosses his mind. HOF is for retired players
@@LOL-ro9efand he will make the hof lol it’s literally not a debate
Idiot😂@@LOL-ro9ef
