Chris Paul is undoubtedly one of the fiercest competitors in the league. There’s this all-consuming fire in him. You can see in his eyes how much he wants to win. He finished 5th in the league in steals after playing all 82 games in the regular season and rightfully earned his fourth straight first-team all-defense nod.
He’s a punishing point guard with phenomenal footwork. He pounces on the ball with physicality and precision. When he’s not creating chaos by poking the ball loose, he’s just outright taking it away with aggression and activity. He just WANTS the ball more than anyone else at times, wrestling and sometimes just willing the ball away from his opponents. Chris really doesn’t care about how big the guys are in his way. He just knows that there’s someone standing between him and what he wants. He will use any advantage he has, whether that’s his quickness, or toughness, or maybe even just his savvy of being able to hit a guy in a way the ref doesn’t notice. He doesn’t care. CP knows two things more than maybe anybody in the league: heart over height and persistence perseveres.
If you’re on the fence about this video, I urge you to check it out at least until 2:15. In it, you’ll see how impressive his timing and active hands are in shutting down (and I mean shutting DOWN) transition opportunities.
This is more a redo with added clips as opposed to an outright, completely new video, so if you watch the original one I did, there's a lot of overlap. I did, however, feel like I could edit it better so I set about doing that. - Sport

It's really impressive how good he has been defensively throughout his career. He's pretty much the smallest guy on the court in every match, but he's like a fucking gnat out there. Just tenacious and with a brilliant BBIQ. He's now in his mid 30s and he's still a top 10 defensive guard in the league. Just a beast.
Top 10? He’s top 3 at the very least. Very few guards play defense nowadays.
Charles Barkley voice capital T TERRIBLE NICE try...
arguably the most fundamentally sound defensive pg of all time
Nduati Macharia Stockton, GP, the CP
I'd say #2, but it's definitely close
Nah Stockton and Jason Kidd wayy better on D
Don't forget mookie blaylock
He's the best defensive point guard in an era where perimeter defense is the hardest it has ever been because of the modern rules
cp3 is probably the best defender among all PGs in the league. a case can be made for John Wall, too. a lot of cp3's steals come from his cerebral understanding of plays. he sees when a play is being made, coming into form. then he steps in for the kill. during an Open Court interview with coaches, Alvin Gentry (then coaching the Suns against the Hornets) said cp3 was telling his (Gentry's) player that he was in the wrong spot for the play haha
kinda like Rondo
I remember that story lol
Duane Fernando cp first easily . John Wall is third .but second is pat Beverly
If u read the passing lanes.
Duane Fernando what about the time Westbrook whooped his ass?
1:32
"He takes it away! That's the best steal I've ever seen!"
How he says it gets me everytime lmaooo
its a clear foul lmao thats why its so funny
@@alanshellykoshy112 yeah its a ridiculously obvious foul he hits him no less than 3 different times that should have gotten a whistle
@@wesjanson6979 Seriously, right? Like, clear as day whacking him in the eye as he goes down...
Crazy how people forgot this cp3 nowadays. Like, they are much focused on hating, because of that gsw series smh
Best point guard of all time.
Reason why he the best in the league he can score, best passer, and plays defense
and he's consistent every season
+Kyron Andrews Carlton sucks! I mean Paul sucks!
+J. I. Lacdan soooo why are u watching this
I wouldn't say best passer, but he can lob
What about steph curry 2015 or d Angelo they are outstanding passers. Oh, an Ben simmons
Chris Paul is literally the best two-way point guard of all-time bro. No debate!
I'll agree with this... Gary Payton was a better defender in my opinion (only PG to win DPOY) but he wasn't the offensive presence CP3 has been for his career.
@@joshuawilliams7653 yeah gary was a better defender but the gap is small. Definitely on offense to me there is no reasonable debate for putting Gary above CP3 whatsoever.
So nba blasts curry trippin cp3 with his foot on social media when cp3 locked him up 50+ times
dumbass watch that in slow mo he was fallin befare he triped even cp3 admits that he said "he got me that time" either u lyin or u are dumbass
Arjun Akella a rockets killer? Nobody calls him any of those names so try harder next time
Yeah because Paul’s older. The NBA cherished it when Kobe crushed Scottie Pippin and went off with MJ. On top of that, realize how many games the Clippers beaten the Warriors and yet suddenly they couldn’t win a single game after the prime of Warriors. I don’t think anyone disputes CP’s ability, people just enjoy it when the young power comes in to play because they will lead the next generation
@@abakella who the hell been saying that?😂
Daaaamn! bledsoe's dunk at 2:22 though!!!
He really is a Top 5 point guard of all time 🏀
2:12 He literally just showed brute strength easily ripping the ball away then flopped off a little push😂 ya gotta love em
I wish he could get at least one ring before he retires
Agree
He is about to
he won a game in the finals 😯
.
@@mr.clutch2993 😭
3:14 his anticipation is amazing
Every pass is perfect with him
"The best steal ever" Paul hacked the guy on the head at 1:35.
+J. I. Lacdan I was gonna say that.
I think there is a rule about "the hand is part of the ball", but I am not sure it is one of them. Considering how much the ref hates CP, it probably really isn't a foul
hand is part of the ball. so no foul.
great editing style every second counted.
like his hustle and play making
Still watchin this
great compilation of all nba defense, thanks!
very nice video, well done
Very underrated defender
he's so great at basketball
active hands, aggressiveness, anticipation and reads. got it.
How can curry be considered better than a man who plays better defense, can drop 30 whenever he wants although usually when Blake Griffin is out or in the playoffs, is the best passer in the league, has a great mid range jumper and great 3 point shot (not as good as currys but still), and makes his teammates better?
+Sachin Johri Because Curry gets all the hype from the media. He's great, but I'd still pick CP3 to start at PG over any other in the league.
+The Dream Merchant Same. I'd also take Russ but that's arguable. CP3 I personally think is much better because of how long he's been great too. Curry had one great season and now everyone thinks he's better. KD had one FANTASTIC season with 32 ppg but no one gave him the best player title
Sachin Johri Exactly. Curry's my boy but damn, people need to hop off the tip. Only reason I wouldn't take Russ (he'd be 2nd though) is because he's still a turnover machine and CP3 has a 4:1 A/TO for his entire career so far, which is bananas.
+The Dream Merchant Yeah fair enough. Honestly the reason curry won MVP was because his team was really good. But they didn't improve because of him, they improved because of the coach.
Sachin Johri Yeah that's true. Once Kerr came along, the entire atmosphere of that team changed. I was hoping Harden would win MVP since the Rockets still got the 2nd seed despite having Howard and a couple other main guys missing over half the season but it is what it is. Russ balled out like a mofo as well.
Pat bev lying
At 3:07 the announcer goes "he might slam dunk". Like wtf, do you not know who deandre Jordan is?????
He's wide open too like of course he's gonna dunk.
First name lastname He's been a Clippers broadcaster for like 40 years he knows who DeAndre is. He said that jokingly.
First name lastname it was a joke
~~~~~~~********BINGO********~~~~~~~
CP needs a ring , he deserves it. Glad iggy and Barbosa finally got one. (Diehard warrior fan)
Danny Rhodes We sure will ClipperNation
+Danny Rhodes lol he hasn't gotten his ring yet
Torey Williams rockets now 😂
1:32 is amazing
Corey Brewer getting demolished multiple times here.
Damn he is actually pretty strong
Best steal maker in history. Stockton’s steal record going down
lol Do you realize how long Stockton played for? He played 18 seasons and he was RARELY ever injured. He also peaked higher than Paul as far as spg. To put this in perspective: Chris Paul is now 35 in his 16th season with 2273 steals. John Stockton has 3265...so yeah...that ridiculous record is going nowhere. lol
@@BarstoolBlues33 ok, i was wrong
Most of these were him on help D and poking the ball away and fast break stops (which are still good plays) but lockdown is implying he is sizing up someone one on one but here most of it isn't
He should just join the lakers
Cp3/ LbJ could definitely give gsw a good run
Reason why most players confront him I guess
The bull!
Cp3 dpoy
You should do a Chris Paul to deandre jordan
Pass at 2:05.
DPC
Here after Pat bev tried nonsense
Cp3: FUck your height bro
hes the best in the league at taking the ball away on ball. he will rip you
The God of Steals
2010s chris paul> 90's defense
How They Didnt win a ring. They robbed cp3 outta a ring. This was the best clippers team since Barron Davis
DJ would've averaged 2 and 10 if he went to dallas
I don't know about you guys, but I saw a lot of illegal handchecking.
James Hardens defense is way better..
He don't lock down Kyrie Irving
That was not a steal. He fouled the crap out of Corey Brewer. I cant believe they didnt call that!
Crusty Eggen soft
hand is part of the ball
Probably new generation
He pushed that nigga out of the building bruh 0:50 xDDD
Jesus Loves you and wants you to accept him as your Lord and saviour
What a overrated defender. Just a bunch of steals Pat bev was right
He gets steals and he is good with help defense. But in head -to head matchups with the top PGs in the league he loses. How many times other top PGs blown by him?
They do from time to time but that happens to everybody.
Sounds like you never played basketball before.
you really can't stop superstars from exploding. the only reason they are stopped is when the whole team plays good defense thats centered around that player. Otherwise, dame, kyrie ,curry wouldn't be able to put up those kind of numbers
J. I. Lacdan he's still one of the greatest on ball defenders as a point guard of all time. Everyone gets blown by every once and a while.
"you can't really stop superstars from exploding." This statement makes me SICK. It's a statement Stephen A. Smith would make and that's part of the problem. THe NBA marketing team builds these players up to be greater than they really are; they are manufactured stars. Everything caters to making these players great, favorable rules, media buildup, promotions, favorable calls, all to manufacture a "great" player. There's a reason many players make a HUGE jump from what they did in college to the NBA, the league helps players become great. I should write a thesis on this because everything from the NBA Board of Governor's rules changes of 1999, 2001 and 2004 have led up to this point where we believe these players are greater than they really are. What as CP3 really done? Or James Harden? They haven't won anything. They will be afterthoughts like, Kevin Johnson and Tim Hardaway Sr. in the 90s.
カリーめっちゃスティールされてて草
All is foul
Felix Rodriguez lol u prob think getting an all ball block is a foul 🤦♂️
Haha why always on curry
Some of them are just pure fouls
michael munemo true. but he's steal awesome defensively
thief!
Chris Paul is nothing in the NBA
Felix Rodriguez yeah definitely “nothing” definitely didn’t make a projected 13th in the west to tied for 4th. Also didn’t bring out the best of his teammates, especially shai gilgeous. U definitely a curry fan lmao.
@@curtisahn4158 or a bronsexual
I guess future hall of famer is considered to he nothing now a days 💁♂️
The notion that Chris Paul is an elite defender is farcical, at least in the playoffs when it matters most. Paul has been outplayed in the majority of his matchups against elite PGs in the playoffs when it matters.
*2009 1st Round*
Chauncey Billups
23-4-7 on 48%, 1.2 TOpg and 66% 3PT
Chris Paul
17-4-10 on 41%, 4.8 TOpg
Billups scored way more efficiently and was the way better playmaker, Paul had quadruple the turnovers as Billups. Billups had a 6:1 ast:to ratio to Paul's 2:1
*2014 1st Round*
Steph Curry
23-4-8-2 on 44%
Chris Paul
17-5-9-3 on 42%
Paul won only because he had the better supporting cast. Curry clearly outplayed him, despite having less help. It's also worth noting that the Warrior's best rebounder in Andrew Bogut didn't play due to injury, yet Curry still pushed Paul's far superior supporting cast to 7 games.
*2014 WCSF*
Russell Westbrook
28-6-9-2 on 49% and 50/57 FTs (89%)
Chris Paul
23-4-12-3 on 51% and 18/24 FTs (75%)
Westbrook scored way more and way more efficiently as he went to the line more than twice as much, shooting almost 90%. Paul also choked away the eventually deciding game 5 with his 2 turnovers including on the game winning attempt. He fouled Westbrook on his 3pter, so Russell made 3 FTs to take the lead. Westbrook outplayed him in the clutch of the eventually deciding game, further cementing that Westbrook outplayed him for the series. Had Paul not done that epic choke job, the Clippers would have been up 3-2 with Game 6 in LA.
And in 2012, as bad as Tony Parker played, Chris Paul was even worse
*2012 WCSF*
Chris Paul
13-4-9 on 37% only 5/5 FTs
Tony Parker
17-3-8 on 36% and 24/29 FTs
Their statlines are even until you consider Parker went to the line almost 6 times as much, scoring more efficiently (albeit still not good efficiency) and putting fouls on opposing defenders.
Parker did clearly outplay him over the series when you put Parker and Paul's worst games aside. Parker averaged 21-4-7 on 40% over the last 3 games to Paul's 15-4-9 on 41% after they both played garbage in Game 1.
In the 2015 Playoffs, Parker was playing with an injured Achilles, ankle, and quadriceps, which was more responsible for his poor numbers than Paul's defense.
When Parker was healthy in the 2008 WCSF, he put up the same numbers on Paul that he did for the regular season, and nailed the series-clinching shot in Paul's face.
Tony Parker
2008 regular season
18.8 ppg 6.0 apg on 49%
*2008 WCSF vs Paul*
19.4 ppg 5.7 apg on 49%
Over-gambling for steals in the passing lanes like Iverson for some steals titles doesn't hide that Paul is a very sub-par defender in the playoffs against notable PGs.
the excuse about Chris Paul being smaller than those players is not valid. The majority of great offensive players in history had their toughest time against smaller defenders
Jordan vs Payton
Shaq vs Rodman
Wilt vs Russell
Hakeem vs Anthony Mason
LeBron vs Iguodala (shot 18-54, 33% when guarded by Iguodala in Finals)
Dirk vs Haslem
Bird vs Cooper
Kareem vs Thurmond
also you can't praise Paul as an elite defender and then backtrack and use his lack of physical ability as an excuse when he does get lit up. If his physical disadvantages stop him from locking down players then that's his problem.
1st - Chris Paul had his best statistical year in 2008/09, he averaged 20-10 on 50%, something only Magic and Kevin Johnson have done (twice each) and Billups was at the end of his good years.
2nd - Paul outplayed Parker in 2008, but Parker still lit up his defense while the Hornet's interior defenders kept Duncan in check. In 2012 they both played bad in Game 1, then putting their numbers in context Parker outplayed him over the last 3 games to sweep him.
In 2015, Parker was playing with an injured achilles, ankle, and quadriceps so it's not surprising that Paul outplayed him. when Parker was healthy in 2008 and 2012 he didn't have any problem against Paul's defense
3rd - it's not just FTs, Westbrook outplayed him overall and in the clutch moments of Game 5 which eventually decided the series.
+CP3 Sucks Fuck Off kid, We dont need this Bs CP3 Hating on him.
damn buddy, you really had to make an account and find stats that make cp3 look bad just to hate, too much time on your hands
you could find stats like this of every player
+CP3 Sucks It's true. How many times has a banged up D Rose BLOWN BY Paul like he was a statue?
+Jimmy Buckets well .. would you rather he hate on cp3 without anything to base it on ? at least he's doing it right and providing shit to prove his point i guess.
No one else on the clippers would play with that kind of intensity. Really a solo act
CP3 has the highest per of all time. He made a garbage new orleans team take san antonios championship squad to seven games during his early years. hes is the best all around pg in the league. Great instincts, awareness and if it wasnt for his height he dominate in the playoffs more often. Its not easy going up against defenders who are at least five inches taller. He can see the play coming and is quick and savvy enough to be at the spot!
Nice man, I didn't think you would make a part 2, this is awesome
Chris Smoove yeah you could have many parts to this video series for CP
King L. Well, the first video is about 2 and a half minutes, and this one is around 7, so there's some overlap. I didn't think I did a good job with the first one so I redid it.
Amazing vid. Thanks!! You do a great grat job. I learn a lot. Please keep doing these vids. Would you like some suggestions? :)
Underrated.
that was a foul on brewer
Can you make a kyrie irving difficult layups compilation?
can you make another chris paul lockdown but get more clips of when he shut down KD?
plz make ver 3
Video should be renamed Chris Paul steals highlight, instead of lockdown.
sheow grayson Steals does count as a lockdown.....
Sebastian Landrito did you even read?
sheow grayson steals does count as defense... Watch other lockdown defenders Gary Payton was known for stealing the ball that's why he was considered one of the best lockdown defenders.
Sebastian Landrito I'm not saying steal is not part of defense? But there a difference between lockdown and steals. Lockdown means you keep your defender in front of you and limit his play but steals are just steals. Cutting a pass is also stealing, so is that considered lockdown defence?
Daiki Aomine but most off cps steals come from him keeping his man in front of him and stealing it from the offensive player on ball. His quick hands and up in your body positioning is what makes him a lockdown defender, not just the steals themself. He never lets tge often much bigger players force him out of his stance. He stands his ground and plays smart, but physical D, and never gives up on a play, no matter the size of his opposition. That makes him indeed a lockdown defender.
Greatest defender at the point ever
CP3 is one of the most underrated defenders in the NBA
8 All Defense teams he gets his respect.
Nice
These are not lockdown but help defense.
do one for james harden
Would you mind doing a Kyle Lowry version of this? He's honestly a very underrated and pesky defender
best PG in the league
woooou
Damn he bullied Corey brewer on that and-1
It's fkin gr8 to see a pg who wants assists over points
Liam Maki he doesn't want assist over point he wants the thing that will make him win... He can go 40 5 or 10 15 only watch for assist is as bad for the team as only watch for points
1:37😭
4:40 I'm done omg
Nice video but you re-used a lot of plays from your first one
Yup. In my description, I said it's less a new video, and more a redo.
mb yeah honestly didn't read it, usually dont for sports highlights, mb though.
Seth Rydberg No worries, I didn't mean anything by it. I just didn't want people thinking I was just using throwing a "2" out there on old work
Pause at 4:44.
Jumpman Jumpman Jumpman
Hof pick pocket cheesing square.
1;39 is a foul not steal,when u steal, ur hands can not have contact with ball handler, stupid refree
You can if the hand is a part of the ball but yeah they missed it on this one.
And Paul hits Brewer on the elbow before grabbing the ball. It's a clear foul.
陳柏安 the refs didn't call it. it's a steal.
陳柏安 buy was it called,no so its a steal nigga.
Fouls..Too many fouls
pussy
+Ugur Celiktas I get it, you're that guy that Always complains about fouls in pick up games, sorry, this is th2 nba its for men not Little boys
Jass Naj Just lol'd.
@@jassnaj7443 i was thinking the same thing 😭💀
Nicholas Pagano 1:34...
Chris Paul's defense has been grossly exaggerated and overrated as the years go by. His defensive reputation comes mostly from his record 6 steals titles, but these are often the result of gambling and over-playing the passing lane which leads to defensive breakdowns when he does not come up with the steal. Iverson is tied for the 2nd-most steals titles at 3 and Baron Davis is the all-time playoff leader in SPG for similar reasons.
Chris Paul has been outscored in head to head playoff series against 2009 Billups, 2012 Parker, 2014 pre-prime Curry, and 2014 Westbrook missing 36 of 82 games in the season, and has been lit up in other series as well. Considering he has only played in 13 playoff series, this is a very high proportion of bad defensive series.
Billups' highest 3PT% in any series (66%) came against Chris Paul's vastly overrated defense in the 2009 1st Round, and Westbrook's highest FG% in any series (49%) came against Chris Paul's vastly overrated defense in the 2014 WCSF. Further contradicting the narrative that the media and defense-team voters have pushed throughout his career.
