Jimmy Butler - Lockdown 15/16

- Jimmy Butler has been underrated and overlooked for most of his life, but one thing that has become undeniable is that he’s a force in this league, especially on the defensive end. Picked 30th in the 2011 draft, Butler has gone on to become a 2x NBA All-Star, a 3x All-Defense second teamer, 2015’s NBA Most Improved Player, and an Olympic gold medalist. His ability to stand up powerful post-up players, coupled with the quickness to stick with the shiftiest wings, and the instincts and IQ to know when to stay down and when to jump to contest, make him a dynamite defender.
Jimmy is tough, no question about it. What I love about Jimmy on defense is his ability to dislodge the basketball. You’ll see over and over again him swiping the ball clean even when there seems to be no angle to do so. Gambling in the passing lanes isn’t necessarily something I’d advise players to do, but like the ball hawking, swiping, and shot blocking, Butler has got a knack for timing things perfectly. He wears opponents down with his unrelenting aggressiveness on the defensive end, but take the time to notice how smart he is too. He’ll stunt at his man just as well as he retreats so he can time the block properly. It’s a wonder to watch and a joy to behold.

Another great thing I like about Butler is he hardly gets caught up on screens. Whether he is chasing someone through or guarding on ball he gets through them quick.
What impresses me about this guy is that he's doing all this without a crazy wingspan....unlike kawhi and many other good defenders. Not throwing shade at kawhi just pointing that out
Well, it's his wingspan that's keeping him from being a top tier elite defender like Kawhi and Draymond. There's a reason why he's never made a 1st team all defense and why he didn't make all defense at all last season.
@@ballinboxer3676 lol lyin yo ass off
Next video: Evin Gualberto-Greatest of all time
Miss these days as a bulls fan 😢😢
Defends Kawhi, Harden and PG like its nothing. What a beast.
I agree that Butler is a elite defender. As far as last year tho I thought he had his worst year defensively & was rewarded with an all defesive team off reputation and not production. He actually had a +2 opponent field goal percentage difference. So last year he took a big step back. Im sure he gon snap back tho.
That seems to be consensus on most podcasts I listen to, but he is still a great defender. If he was an A+ defender in 2015, would you have rated him any lower than a B last year?
Brandon Reed idk if I would say he was a A+ in 2015. To me a A+ would be Kawhi 2016. I would probably give him a B+ or A- in 2015 and C for 2016. Even tho your opponents a 2+ field percentage difference is deserves a D he does clamp down and make great defensive plays in clutch time.
I think the reason Jimmy's defense has slowed down a bit is because he's had to take on such a ridiculous scoring load for his team, he is the leading scorer and almost all of it comes from iso play. That has got to take it out of you, and he always produces the clamps in important moments
I can binge watch videos from your channel for hours lol
Marshawn Lewis i literally turn his videos on my big tv and let them play one by one while i clean up the house lol
James Harden Defense Compilation
superb video thanks
How's the Durant defense vid coming along?
Also, I apreciate the work man, keep it up.
Best SG in the league rn
awesome
those last two defensive stops were beauuuutiful.
Imagine this combo jimmys vert and kawhi wingspan imagine being 6 foot 7 with a 40 inch vert and a 7 foot 3 wingspan ohhh my days
Great defender always uses their left either to steal or block
Classic
Who's Better him or klay?
Do KCP
Cp3 lockdown 15/16 please
WOW that Curry Travel at 4:26ish
Seasoned Battles Curry
He dribbled. We can't see it cuz of the camera angle.
Evin Gualberto where is your dirk fade away video?
Gino it got taken down, unfortunately...but I'm working on fixing it up and reuploading it
Andre Roberson defense?
OneAnOnIy it's a work in progress. It'll get done soon though
what about iggy?
I feel like butler has digressed defensively the last few years when he was in Chicago he was arguably the best 2 way player in the game. Only two i can think of that were better was kawhi and klay i put butler better then george at that time. But he hasnt been the same defensively
First "block" was all hand LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Christusolus except that's still a block because hand is part of the ball in most basketball leagues, especially the NBA...so LOLLLLL.
Landon Myers not an L. I'm a basketball coach, everywhere the hand is part of the ball, it's in the rules. So a block that gets hand is still a legal and clean block
Landon Myers no. You're right. An understanding of the basketball rules is what would make my team 0-10.
Also, mad is pretty far from correct...so while I would be mad if that happened, would it technically still be the right call? Yes.
Hand part of the ball is a tough call in the NBA, while yes it is technically part of the ball, not disagreeing with you there, but 1. If it were the Pacer's home court, definitely a call. 2. If it were Lebron James, Steph Curry, or Kobe, they'd definitely call it. 3. Looked like he got some wrist too.
And I appreciate the videos.
Curry defense next
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T lol
Every allstar he stole the ball from or blocked wined like a baby complaining like it’s a foul they just won’t admit it that that’s great defense
Enes Kanter next?
Great defense, but a lot of fouls, like the last play.
7:15 terrible pass
