It's crazy how the media sleeps on him but is so acknowledge/appreciated by the Top Tier in the league
Media sleeps on him because he isn't flashy. He doesn't shoot from the logo. He doesn't have super crazy dunks. He plays defense, and defense isn't pretty. It's ugly.
Its cos he was in a small market, he will get a lot more recognition from the media now. He already is. Just shows you how dumb the media is lmao
Same as mike Conley
i feel like it's cuz defense is hard to quantify and put into numbers. media only hypes up guys with highlights and great stats. Kinda explains why Ben Wallace isnt HoFer yet, it's long overdue
@@sharilajeeeeee yeah, averaging almost 2 steals a game doesn't sound sexy but it's a big deal
It's refreshing to hear someone who prides himself on his defense in this offensive-heavy league
This dude is like the new Tony Allen
@@rashan2424 holiday is a way better offensive player than Allen ever was
@@rashan2424 no he isn’t.
@@Johnhargrove18 Obviously, Im reffering to his defense only
@@rashan2424 nah that’s Lu Dort
Jrue's brain is like an FBI database for all NBA players, it's crazy.
He's legitimately the best perimeter defender in the league, every star guard says he's the hardest to score on. Jrue is very dangerous.
@@jaysontatum01 agreed!
Not to take anything away from him but remember the tendencies of the top players in the league isn't that difficult, especially when it's your job to watch tape with an all worlds coaching staff, if he was breaking down bench players like that that would be more impressive
@@LazarTheMaster it's one thing to be able to make those on the fly analyses for damn near every player in the league, it's another thing to execute the correct defensive play time and time again to the point where players HATE being guarded by you the most out of anyone in the league.
@@jaysontatum01 I'm not taking anything away from his defense, just saying that memorizing their tendencies isn't that hard
scoring feels good, but nothing feels better than denying someone the chance to score
Doin both as a 2way player tremendous asl💯😎
100%
Straight facts brother. Nothing more satisfying seeing your opponent get frustrated by denying what they want to do with the🏀
Facts 💯
No scoring is better but playing good dee is satisfying.
Definitely one of the best defenders..
A great two-way player too!
Bro I see you every where
Not one of. The *BEST.*
@@saxonderohan9723 lol he is getting cooked by kd and kyrie
@@marshallchristopher1304 What happened today Bruh??? 💀
@@marshallchristopher1304 then kd got eliminated haha
Who's here after that great defensive stop against Booker in Game 5?
Fo real.
Also, players talk about Jrue differently to the media. There's more than one vid with former or current players saying he is the best defender, so hopefully now he's a champion he gets more recognition from the pundits.
@@divideandmultiply jrue holiday is the reason why the bucks won the championship, without jrue's offensive playmaking, shot creation and most importantly his elite on ball and lockdown defense, bucks probably would'nt have made it to the finals or win it all.
Definitely!
Bucks were always decent but didn't have that edge to win the chip.
It is no accident, half a season after acquiring Jrue, Bucks Win it All!
@@andrewabraham5109 He was great, but the team as a whole won on defense. The shot blocking, the steals, the pressure put on by Jrue. The best defensive team by a mile.
@@i_would_but_i_wont yes the bucks were actually number one in defensive rating
This is underappreciated and what kids need to watch...
💯
effort >>>>>
I agree with Jrue. Defense is Fun.
Same I’ve gotten better at defense that every time I play defense people get mad at me for playing good defense
@@artistgrace6134
Me too 😂
Everyone gets mad or tired when I play defense. And I’m only 5’6
Very underrated PG and DEFINTELY underrated defensively! He's one of the BEST defense players in the league. Defense is a lost art in the NBA.
fax
As long as Thibs is a coach, defense will still be practiced as an artform in the league ;)
@@MrProatlas Roses are red
Violets are blue
My hands are white
But not with glue
@@zharionsgrandmother3938 wut
he's not underrated, they acknowledge him as a great defender.
if he's underrated bucks wouldn't have traded for him.
BEST BACKCOURT DEFENDER IN THE LEAGUE!! EVEN GOOD AT FRONTCOURT DEFENDING. GIVE HIM HIS CREDIT!
Until he sees LeBron
@@adityasrinivasan7784 LeBron doesn't torch on the perimeter though, he usually takes him down low
@@adityasrinivasan7784 LeBron is like 6ft9 and Jrue is 6'3-6'4 but he can still limit his movement. You can't see that in his stats
@@superkoopa6202 Go watch last years lakers vs pelicans games.
Marcus Smart exists, but okay
Him & Klay have ALWAYS been criminally underrated Defensively. Such a shame this art goes unseen by the casual fan
Thats why klay is always on kyrie.
Yep. Both amazing defenders but you don't see it unless you actually know basketball because they don't beat their chest every time they get a stop.
Klays defense you mean?
@@24xv555 Klay is one of the best perimeter defenders of his generation.
@@overrativeness fully agreed
Coming back to watch this after he made arguably the most clutch defensive play in nba finals history
he aint lebron and this aint 2016
@@user-bd9qk2nu2q stop riding
@@atribecalledlen3567 you really about to say this is better than a game winning full court chase down block in a game 7 of a series where the cavs were down 3-1? Jrue has been my fav player since 2013 but his play is no where near as clutch as lebrons
@@jarodpierce2723 Lebron has the more iconic play, but Holiday has more consistent defense.
@@punchdreadnought8101 bro, Jrue been my fav player since 2013 and I’m from Cleveland ❗️
Bro Jrue is so amazing at defense and just overall game too
He be getting cooked lol
@@beanteam2217 how do me and you be watching the same Jrue
@@xxx_monte6714 idk why he gets cooked lol
@@beanteam2217 Idk if he gets cooked bro, I don't think so imo.
@@sumpeoplebelike4873 bro steph curry he cooking him
Just listening to him tells you that he has excellent defensive IQ. He's one of the best 2 way guards in the league for a reason!
Facts man! You know when Dame Dolla gives you raps that he's the real deal.
the best
@@hhhhhhhhhh6675 Donovan Mitchell is probably the best two way guard, but it's debatable between Jrue, CP3, and Mitchell. It also depends on if you consider Brown, Butler, and PG13 forwards or guards.
@@Pecan3.14 bro D mitch cannot defend
"Kids need to learn defense man... It's *Fuunn* " the way he said fun though
channeling that kawhi energy
No. For me it’s like psycho energy. It’s fun.. yeah I’m killing them .. hahahaha
@@jonaldgobaton8086 when i used to play I always enjoyed playing D,box them in a corner ,forceed them to dribble with their weak hand ,loved it
One of the underrated, best defender in the NBA right now.
Ever hear of Simmons?
@Lukas Myers nobody asked what position is Simmons playing
Not sure why you call him underrated, every bball fan and NBA players knows that he's one of the best perimeter defender in the league for almost 5 years now.
@@frederickokocha3904 Simmons os the DPOY of the manipulative media. Holiday is the DPOY of fellow NBA players.
Holiday and Tucker will be the biggest difference maker for the Bucks this postseason. Those two takes off a great amount of burden from Giannis and Middleton to defend every scorer against their opponent while trying to make buckets on the other end.
Holiday can be half court pointguard as well and tucker space's the floor from his corner three spots. the bucks look good. fear the dear
Man I hope the Bucks can make it this year after all the shortcomings they had the past years
Well, bucks finnaly have a great pg at least since gordon left to pacers, not just some pg name eric badsoe
Yeah but greekfreak has to show up
@@clcl4158 he's been knocking free throws down this year. Let's hope it continues in the post season
The very underrated and underappreciated player in the league. He's my favorite defender versus on-guard position. He reminds me of Tony Allen. The grit and grind type of a player and always hustling to guard the best player.
But Jrue is better at offense
He kind of reminds me of a smaller version of Kawhi Leonard on defense.
Jrue's strength is so underrated.. I remember watching his guard LeBron in the post and he stayed with him all the way, being 4-5 inches shorter and like 40-50lbs lighter and still not being completely killed by LeBron is impressive as hell.
He was completely killed by LeBron. I remember that game. No one could guard LeBron so JRue asked for that assignment and still got cooked.
I’m not trying to diminish his ability. He’s a great defender but let’s not act like he locks everybody down
@@1L3g3nd How do you define "completely killed"? I would say Derrick Jones in the finals was completely killed by LeBron in the post, he had 0 chance and gave him pretty much free lay ups. Jrue actually gave a level of opposition you wouldn't expect from someone so much smaller than LeBron, he held his own and made it harder for LeBron, I didn't say he stopped him.
@@DrProfessorWeed Lol he did get killed. Layup after layup
@@DrProfessorWeed Jrue offered some resistance. But that 40 point game he had against the Pelicans showed that he was too small to guard LeBron. He just caught it in the post and either backed him down or spun off him for a point blank layup at the rim. Not taking anything away from Jrue at all but strong fowards are gonna cook him down low every time
Edit: in fact in the second matchup Alvin didn’t even bother putting Jrue on him most of the game. It was mostly Josh Hart who took the assignment.
@@ryanw373 I agree, I mean at the end of the day Jrue has no business ever guarding LeBron down low, I was just impressed he not only took the challenge but visibly you can see he has some incredible strength to even give any resistance to someone 4-5 inches taller and like 60-70lbs heavier.
“Kids need to learn defense man.” - Jrue Holiday
Facts!
I really enjoy watching Jrue play even when he was still a sixer. A very good and smart defender plus he's strong so he can defend multiple positions. Very quick on his feet.
This is a legendary video by a premier top NBA defender in his prime breaking down his craft with respect to the best offensive talents in the league. We need more of Jrue and these breakdowns!!!
This is one of the big reasons they won the Championship. Strong PG play on both ends of the court ALL game.
huge Respect to you Jrue, you locked CP3 and Devon book last final great job 👏
Here after Jrue's clutch steal to beat the suns in game 5♥️♥️♥️
We need more videos likes these
I remember back in 2018 Jrue Defended Dame the whole Series wherein the Blazers struggled offensively
Everyone shit talked dame after that til he got some of that respect back
I remember that series. I was already a Jrue fan but, I was so impressed. You don't see that often where a defender can just get under a top scorers skin like that and shut them down.
Shut Dame down and dropped buckets. I believe he had 41 in one game
@@Vydeohz really is a rare sight........ I remember tony Allen doing something similar to Kevin Durant back in a mem-okc series........ was mind blowing to me at the time but just goes to show sometimes great defenders can outmatch great scorers
Double teams
WE NEED MORE OF THIS!! Jrue is such an underrated talent offensively and defensively and as one of the best defenders to see his insight on defending is great, i wanna see more of this..
Great video, very insightful.
Much love and respect to Jrue for what he does on the court and off the court.
Great player and defender 💯🔥 he gets much respect around the league
Underrated guard and very humble.
Nahhh.. doesn't sound humble to me
@@musaddiqmunirliman8267 bro you can be humble and still be confident in yourself and in your abilities. Jrue is absolutely one of the most humble guys in the league hands down.
@@mehdeeahmed9565 Never seen anywhere where calling yourself the best equates to being humble
@@musaddiqmunirliman8267 Well he isn't wrong tho 🤷 He is the best perimeter defender, if not top 3.
@@musaddiqmunirliman8267That's just confidence though. It's only arrogant it he doesn't have the ability to back it up and he does.
great insights...we need more of these vids showcasing the rest of the NBA players who are doing the work and the grind
Please continue the breakdown series! By far the most insightful content
Glad more and more light is being shed on defense! I personally love playing defense. I enjoy the mental aspect of it, trying to read the opposing player's moves and not letting them feel comfortable on the ball. Nothing beats the feeling stealing the ball or blocking the shot of the opponent's best player lol
liking this series already.
One of my favorite players, this analysis was great Jrue!
I love this!!!! Thank you for highlighting defense for once, unlike the rest of the media.
It's crazy how well Jrue defends considering he's a decent scorer as well. Definitely one of the top talents in the league, overall.
Its crazy at this level the smallest movements mean the most
coolest nba vid i've seen on here. love Jrue!!
WE NEED more of these!!!
One of my favorite NBA player since he was on pels with tyreke,ryan amd AD and some other guys
Jrue Holiday is what Patrick Beverly thinks he is
You blessed man your hands,your feet are there at right time,I love the way said I know I'm gonna get help from teammates now thats ball,that's so cool,keep going man!!!
Thanks for the video. Under appreciated.
He just did a clutch steal on Kyrie today. Man is underrated as fuc!
People saying jrue wasnt rlly able to give an impact on defending this guy and that guy... Saying that "oh he didn't lock up that guy"... This guy doesn't only give his all on defense during the game. He studies everything to know beforehand like knowing the other teams best player's habits and weaknesses and taking advantage of them which makes jrue one of the best defenders to play the guard position because of his work ethic and basketball IQ. Ppl still sleeping on this guy 😪
We need MORE of this type of content
Thank you for giving light on defeneive guards. You the goat of our business Jrue
This video aged well damn
Defense is so much fun. Love this message from Drew, he's a great player and a great guy.
Jrue
This is good. Please make these more.
Wow! Super-interesting. One of the best basketball videos I've ever seen. Also, didn't realise how analytic Jrue really is. Kudos. Can't wait for Nets-Bucks in playoffs.
underated👊
who wants him to win DPOY as a guard since The Glove?
It is all in the mind first!! Great video!
3:29
Man its eye opening when he talks about his close-out and how he pressures the left to force baseline (towards the help). I've never played organized basketball so this was so interesting to hear from a casual spectator
KD said Jrue is the toughest to
Guard him. Give him DPOY guarding 7 footers
truly underated player
Jrue-ly Underrated Player
@@Otaku_Akuma never say that ever again.
@@landonr.536 😂😂
We need more of these
Such a humble dude! All the best to you! Hope u win the chip!
Best guard defender in the league and it’s not close😤🔒
Edit: idk how I forgot Marcus smart, thank y’all for calling me out🤦🏾♂️
I would say him and simmons are at least in the same area.
@@marv_7530 ben is 6'10 tho, in terms of actual guards jrue is the best
@@marv_7530 Jrue has more technique in my opinion. Simmons is good at guarding 1 to 5 but Jrue is a notch better at perimeter defense. Simmons can be a bit too big to fight over screens, though he also does that very well. Jrue has the ideal size and quickness to deal with perimeter players. Whilst Simmons can hold down the post better. Another thing with Jrue is how he reaches for the steals while keeping his man contained without gambling. You can see on the clip when he guards steph in the corner, his pressure and quick feet makes him able to poke the ball without the risk of getting blown by because he slides his feet so well. His hands are so good at tracking the ball without getting called for fouls.
Klay when healthy
@@Ap1993 no way Jrue has way better instincts and is a lot quicker
My favourite thing about Jrue is his balance between defense and offence. I love Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart but they are not as good as Jrue in both end. I love his time in Pelicans and he believes he will keep his energy going. If only the Celtics could have him...
We need more of these plz
Thanks for Sharing
❤️&✌️
This pops up at my homepage at perfect timing
And that, folks, is how you defend your way to a championship
great interview
We need more of this in the NBA
Defense is very underrated on this era. Even if the rules are against defensive players, the fact that they can still be this elite of a defender is just amazing.
Man the bucks are gonna miss him this season... defence took a major hit.
This was great!
We need more of this type of content fr fr
Cool, y'all should do this with OG Anunoby.
If Cousins hadn’t got injured that Pelicans team would have been a powerhouse
Rondo, Holiday, Davis, Cousins. Damn...
And Mirotic. Mah boi was cookin teams
@Fei Long they would've had no one to match Cousins also. KD was the one who killed them the most due to size. Davis could guard him but they didn't wanna risk their best scorer on foul trouble
Jrue has REAL defensive effort and skill within the game of basketball. Without harming or injuring other people as P.Beverly might.
Yesss!! More Defence in the NBA!
He guards all the great perimeter players big or small
Wish that more of these stats were available so we could have a better way of measuring defense considering almost all the available stats are bad.
Db checking in, we'd like to thank the Family & mentors of Mr. Holiday for helping to make him the person & player that he is, Milwaukee has become Blessed
More of these pls
This shows how defense is underrated in NBA...
Jrue Holiday is the Most Underrated PG/Defender in the NBA.
Great video loved this!
Brilliant Video
Y’all can’t call him underrated forever. Players have gone out their way to praise his defense, I’m tired of hearing people call him underrated. He’s the best one on one defender in the league.
Why doesn't that ever put him in a DPOY convo then?
@@myceliummyrrh112 cause it 99% of the time goes to big men who average the most blocks, you cant put a stat on what jrue does on the perimeter, so the next best thing is to give the award to the best paint defender in their eyes, so they do.
@@myceliummyrrh112 why you worried about an award in the participation trophy league. They gave it to gobert twice and he get smoked regularly
@@JubioHDX case in point, Rudy Gobert, then he got exposed by the Clippers
And they say being a professional basketball player was easy. Dude to analyze to that degree. Man...
Respect to this man!
I love hearing defensive player breakdown what they do, if i could have played in NBA i would want be a defensive powerhouse something about all the work you put in that people don't realize since it not as flashy as offense
It’s gona be a travesty if he doesn’t get 1st Team All-Defense
WHO’S HERE AFTER JRUE STOLE THE BALL FROM BOOKER IN GAME 5?! 😭🔥
so much respect for tis dude !
mentality like sergio ramous
You just gained a new fan Jrue! 🙌🏻
I wanna see his technique of guarding bigger guards and forwards, like jimmy, demar, Kawhi, PG, etc
I’d love to spend a day learning from people like jrue, tony Allen, and Pat Bev. I find defense way more exciting than offense
You will learn nothing from pat bev.
replace pat bev with jimmy and u good
this was the most entertaining take on defense I have seen......Jrue is truth!
props to these types of player, defense is very hard in these offensive centric league.
everybody know he one of the best defender guard in the league.
2018 all defense 1st team.
Best perimeter defender in the game.
*on ball defender
@@NahomeBruk your opinion is valid but I said what I said. 😁
Gladly my men got recognition. Underrated
Jrue is GREAT. I love hearing him break it all down as well. Makes me want to hoop
