True definition of a player that can guard 1-5. And do it well. He reminds me of Rodman and Barkley, undersized but alot of heart and grit and determination.
+TheGGMan Wow, coming to think about it, he does remind me of Rodman.Can guard all 5 positions, quick hands, blocks shots in open lanes.The only thing Rodman has over him is the rebounding.The only thing Green has over Rodman is the offensive IQ as well as scoring, but even with those differences they're still very similar.
+ucialum what people means by guarding 1 through 5 is that he can guard most player at every position and I'm pretty sure he'll do an alright job against Cousins and CP3
I feel like green is so successful in his game because he's able to dish and take so much punishment. He uses his body weight amazingly. Dude got like farmer boy strength.
I see people asking for videos and commenting on it, but i barely see anyone thanking you and giving you credit for the work you do. Making these type of videos is NOT as easy as it may seem people, its literally downloading A LOT of games, watching them carefully to pick out the best defensive possesions (in this case) and add them to the video, what this man is doing can take A LOT, of work. Its not like offenive highlights where its more obvious since you can generally know already what games to choose to get highlights of the best offensive plays, because it reflects on the scoreboard. But to make highlights of defensive plays sometimes without no stat that indicates where and when it happened, that can take a lot of work. So Evin if you don't get this often, let me be one of the ones too give you huge props for the videos you do, it can indeed be a lot of work just to entertain us, as its obvious you probably don't even or can't, even, get some type of monetary exchange for these awesome videos, your making amazing videos purely to entertain, and that deserves recognition and appreciation!. Huge respect to you! hope you get payed back in good health and living.
Evin Gualberto i can relate to you since ive had tons of past experience with editing, and i know that it can be time consuming. Your stuff deserves way more recognition, some truly awesome and unique stuff.
Im a rockets fan but i cant believe ppl say hes overrated.Do you know how many teams could use a versatile spread 4 who can switch guard any position and he stays healthy??My rockets sure as HELL couldve used him LOL
I don't think i have ever seen a player that is 6-7 230 lbs defense anchored/role player/scorer/passer and can also guard 1-5 like Draymond Green. They really got lucky with the draft getting him at 2nd round, 5th pick, 35th overall. Also there are some things stats sheets can't measure, the heart, toughness, and effort. Anyone one care to give me some examples of who might you pick as a comparison to Draymond Green? The only one that i can think of that would come close to comparison would be Anthony Mason?? but without a 3pt range.
To compare another player to draymond you have to look at the sg position. Most shooting guards lack the height or strength or build to compete with draymond but if you watched the rockets game last week, Marcus Thornton, very surprisingly, was able to hold him to 0 field goals through 3 quarters. To be clear green is in his own class and far better than Thornton. The closest thing to him which isn't exactly close would be an elite big guard like lebron, kawhi, or jimmy butler.
For me, Draymond Changed the Game too. All these Coaches certain that, that 6'6 guy is a favorable match-up vs their Big Men, Yet It doesn't work as planned. Off course Sometime They Score on Draymond, But, The Amount of Time wasted on these possessions is crazy😅 ...which is what The Warriors Want.
+Jonathan Ma You can surely say he got robbed of it. That's why they have first place votes to begin with. The fact that he got the most first place votes and didn't win it means a whole hell of a lot. Also, the fact that Dray & the Warriors won more games (67) than Kawhi played (64) should be a little telling.
+Solentos I did say you CAN say he got robbed of it, because that's where the conversation initiated. Would I rather that Draymond won it? Of course. Because why even has a system in place where first place votes count for more if it doesn't matter in the end? Kawhi won it and it was an actual surprise to most people. That's not saying he isn't deserving, but it's just that I feel that Draymond had the stronger case THIS season. I'm happy that Kawhi won it (I know that my Kawhi defense video is my most popular video by A LOT), and I just want to make sure it doesn't sound like I'm taking anything away from him.
+PurePozi I'm working on a passing video already but I don't know if I'm going to be adding hustle plays in there (if they directly lead to a basket, sure).
***** Good catch. I'm not trying to take anything away from anyone. As you know, I publish videos every Sunday and that Thursday (I hope I'm remembering this correctly, bec if it wasn't the Thursday of, it was the following week then), Kawhi was announced as the DPOY (Apr 23). I commented that because he had won it and I said in the description that he WILL win one sometime soon. I love both Kawhi and Draymond (if that's not extremely obvious by now), and while I would have personally given it to Draymond (with the first place votes, etc...), the fact is that Kawhi DID win it.
I think his greatest gift is being able to trick his opponents into doing the total opposite of what they should do against him whenever they have a certain advantage such as length, speed, or strength. Guys longer than him forget that they are longer than him. Guys faster than him forget they are faster than him. The few guys who are stronger than him forget that too. A lot of times his matchup just chooses the wrong move and plays right into Draymond's trap.
7:02 had me laughing pretty good there. Draymond literally lays on top of Dellavedova's legs and prevents him from keeping a good grip on the ball. Dellavedova looks at the ref like, "Seriously, you don't see him on top of me?"
Greatest defensive player in the history of the game !! No cap! Ppl don't realize how good Dray was! He is the reason why GSW is so successful. Dray, Andre, Klay, Steph is the unbreakly 4 and then you can just put Bogut or Rooney dont matter.
Thats legit the scariest combination of pick and pop/roll and thats not even mentioning how much of a defensive nightmare those two could be for ALL the teams in the league, cuz both dudes are freakin built and both are 6'7 with a 7'2.5 wingspan, scary asf 😮😮
Where Would The Warriors Be Without Green's Constant Effort On Defense? This Guy Is The Defensive Player Of The Year! He Deserved It! He Gets Steals Cuz He Is Smart And Has Good Hands. He Gets Blocks Cuz He Is Not Scared Of ANYONE! If Someone Goes For A Dunk Or A Layup, They Better Watch Out! Cuz Draymond Green Isn't Ever Getting Dunked On!
Draymond deserved the DPOY last year and this season, in my opinion. Although Kawhi is deserving I just feel most of the votes were bias, so Draymond didn't have a fair chance. And no I am no Warriors' fan. Just because Kawhi is the best perimeter defender doesn't mean he should get it every season or be more probable to get it. Otherwise, Tony Allen could have been DPOY 10+ consecutive Seasons.
Its amazing you actually see him guard good Centers from Marc Gasol to Dwight howard to Z-bo and then he is on the guards too like James Harden and J.R. Smith and he does a good job on both and if you watch his offensive highlights he shows the same versatility, he can be the passer, the scorer, the facilitator, and a good screener. One of the most versatile players in the game.
That's not a travel. Im not a Lebron fan, i just come wit facts. The travel rule is 0,1,2. O- is the first step the player takes when gathering the ball, basically it doesn't count. The player is able to take 2 steps after that point
+King Shindo Hopefully, down the line. But the problem with that is that I have to get full games and that's a little tougher. Obviously I have every Finals game, but he was lacking in impact in that series...but I do want to make one for Bogut.
Bull shit pun intended Green is a better one on one defender and you know it. All Rodman could do is rebound and get the random swat occasionally. Half the time you could get around him with a pivot spin. Not with Green bigger body..He can poke, stroke, and make you soak.
The majority of gs acting like Draymond is the defensive centerpiece of the team is them being salty about 2016. Iggy has always been better, on both ends of the court

He s way better ,skill s

Man destroyed about a billion of Steven Adams' potential children with those nutkicks tho, ngl
Because of your videos, I can literally learn from these and become a better player myself. You have my utmost gratitude.

Your stuff deserves way more recognition, some truly awesome and unique stuff.
thank you for saying everything I wanted to say, defense makes this type of thing an extra grind to find clips, you're the real mvp
@crismon...Beautiful comment!!
@evin, thanks for this compilation!
he had Harden scared lmao! great video
Im a rockets fan but i cant believe ppl say hes overrated.Do you know how many teams could use a versatile spread 4 who can switch guard any position and he stays healthy??My rockets sure as HELL couldve used him LOL
i don't mind getting yelled at by a person who puts he's mind and heart on the game.i respect those kind of players.

Dennis rodman
Pj Tucker but without the playmaking draymond does
Great clips DRAMOND GREEN is best all around player ,verry smart, verry strong, verry tough, verry important to GSW . got to love him .
Thats what you called defense, not a flopping defense like the other players do.
Hate him or love him. His Iq on the defensive end is really really good. He can move his feet well and is very physical
My favorite part of these highlights is how they go from him guarding 7 foot centers to 6 foot PGs, he’s crazy versatile
Damn not even 10 seconds into the video and I already spotted a LeBron James travel.
+hejsalolo your only allowed to take 2 😐 FYI
yeah he took more than 3 steps
+Doober McFly ya dude wtf ???
This is why they don't listen to the fans in the stands, because you know absolutely nothing about basketball
If you actually took the time to read the rules of basketball, you'd know what a Collect Step is
Reminds me of Ben Wallace that can shoot and pass. Can't never doubt someone's heart
reasons why he's an Allstar..future hall of famer
Great job putting this together. For those who appreciate good defense this is a feast.
For me, Draymond Changed the Game too.
All these Coaches certain that, that 6'6 guy is a favorable match-up vs their Big Men, Yet It doesn't work as planned. Off course Sometime They Score on Draymond,
But, The Amount of Time wasted on these possessions is crazy😅 ...which is what The Warriors Want.
Yea ppl put curry in the Goqt debate so is Draymond
@@THE_HORSEYY Absolutely.
Robbed of DPOY. Look at him stand up to all sorts of elite players at different positions

Draymond, Iggy and PJ Tucker and my favourite Swiss Army knives in the league

Dray!!!!!!!! he's my fave!
He's absolutely one of the best defensive player right now who can guard 1-5
Amazing!
You can call our Draymond a Donkey, but you've gotta admit. He has a nice defense.
7:02 had me laughing pretty good there. Draymond literally lays on top of Dellavedova's legs and prevents him from keeping a good grip on the ball. Dellavedova looks at the ref like, "Seriously, you don't see him on top of me?"
we need another one of these

True 1 through 5 defender not that LeBron stuff where he barely ever checks a 5 or 4 and never shuts anybody down
Lebron is from another angle
***** did you see who he was guarding in the video I guess not
He guarded ppl bigger and stronger better post players than LeBron bruh you jock riding
*****
Clean strips he reads the offense to well
Paul George will be due for a Lockdown video this year as well great vid Evin!!!!
Imagine Draymond and Kawhi on the same team...
Thats legit the scariest combination of pick and pop/roll and thats not even mentioning how much of a defensive nightmare those two could be for ALL the teams in the league, cuz both dudes are freakin built and both are 6'7 with a 7'2.5 wingspan, scary asf 😮😮
man that would be explosive 🔥🔥🤯
Don't put Giannis in that mix. You'll destroy the league
Draymond is the enforcer of the team and might Bout yhe most underrated
Damn I missed this
he owns Le-travel
All I can say is how. I can't believe this guy is guarding big guys.
Draymond green is lebron James' nightmare that's why he begged the league to suspend him for game 5
Yann yowane
what? is that real?
Yann yowane how. He still blew a 3-1 lead that year.
Yeah and golden state is 3-1 against lebron so puh-leez not even an arguement.
@@joaquinmorato6647 against Cavs**
Kawhi Leonard is Lebron James biggest nightmare.
Dude Gasol is destroyed here
Where Would The Warriors Be Without Green's Constant Effort On Defense? This Guy Is The Defensive Player Of The Year! He Deserved It! He Gets Steals Cuz He Is Smart And Has Good Hands. He Gets Blocks Cuz He Is Not Scared Of ANYONE! If Someone Goes For A Dunk Or A Layup, They Better Watch Out! Cuz Draymond Green Isn't Ever Getting Dunked On!
damn... green is all around
Would it be cool if you made defensive highlights of Draymonds 2018 Playoff run? He was an absolute unit and leader. He was really a menace on defense
holy shit he can guard ANYONE
this is the main reason he is where he is, being a 2nd round pick
Why does no one talk about this guy. He's very close to being the best player on the Warriors IMO
Very close? Uhhhhh....
Do you think you can do a Shaun Livingston post up? The way he can shoot the turn around jumper out of a post up is absolutely beautiful.
omg the defense green has on LEBRON at 4:27 is crazy
That’s my goal on defense especially cause I’m undersized ima try to force a bad shot if I can’t block you
Jesus that lebron travel in the first play
Sergio Flores It's not a travel, most ppl don't know the real rules
+Zach Falbe what rules is that?? almost 4 step without traveling violation??
@@wendellmagsmaghanoy5280 its clearly only 3 steps which you can see if you allow it down. Therefore, its not a travel
Poor Gasol
Can you please make a vid about Paul Pierce's and 1 shots ... The Truth is best with and 1s
Draymond deserved the DPOY last year and this season, in my opinion. Although Kawhi is deserving I just feel most of the votes were bias, so Draymond didn't have a fair chance.

CLAMP GOD.
0:05 travel
Dan Games Stop. You're a fan, you've never read the actual NBA rulebook in your life
ya he did! always
That's not a travel. Im not a Lebron fan, i just come wit facts. The travel rule is 0,1,2.
O- is the first step the player takes when gathering the ball, basically it doesn't count. The player is able to take 2 steps after that point
funny how there was a kicking motion by the opponent on the first two plays.. green would get roasted for that^^
His defence is way too nice
GSW, can you say back 2 back?
the perfect blend of prime rodman and artest, incredible defense
Subbed.
Lebron's first play 0:01 he travels LOLLL
Draymond aka draydedy aka farm boy aka the great wall aka rapskallion aka vibranium
This video should be call green vs gasol
0:16 look at lebron touching draymond green’s armpit
We gonna see a Bogut Defensive Dynamo vid?
+King Shindo Hopefully, down the line. But the problem with that is that I have to get full games and that's a little tougher. Obviously I have every Finals game, but he was lacking in impact in that series...but I do want to make one for Bogut.
can you do Russell Westbrook ? pls and thank you
I think Kawhi need to leave clippers and move to GSW hahaha
high EQ guy
2015 nba playoffs and finals?
1:39 - 1:40 double dribble
Feel bad for every center he guarded 😂😂😂
I still feel like he's a slighter better player than lance stephenson in 2014.
Tell LeBron fans this how you guard all 5 positions!!!!
Denniss rodman will feed this dude out of his hand..
Bull shit pun intended Green is a better one on one defender and you know it. All Rodman could do is rebound and get the random swat occasionally. Half the time you could get around him with a pivot spin. Not with Green bigger body..He can poke, stroke, and make you soak.
him and meek mill need to get together and eat the universe
Do Joakim Noah
im the1st to watch this
7:52!!!!!
and then theres KAWHI LEONARD :D
Talk about defense
Donkey is that one annoying defender you don't want to face
Lol bro if drey didn’t get suspended Cavs won’t come back the 3-1
Gasol vs draymond wtf lol locked his ass up
UHAHAHAHAHAHAH Harden just was embarresed
All I see is him doing is getting away with fouls. No one else is allowed to play like this and get away with it
Team is so stacked, this nigga dont have to nothing but play D.
JackGeezy get rebounds assist score but yeah you're correct.......
The majority of gs acting like Draymond is the defensive centerpiece of the team is them being salty about 2016. Iggy has always been better, on both ends of the court
lmao over half of these were fouls most overrated player in the league
