Chris Paul’s stats 33 points on 100-100-100%. This incredible efficiency will probably not be seen again in many years. Every shot he took was fundamentally sound, and he played very smart.
Hard to not say that's the best game ever. Especially with it being a closing game. Rooting for my mavs but legacy wise if cp3 wins a ship he gonna leap frog alot of ppl top 75 rankings.
@@sa1sa624 i would say its the third or fourth best game ever as kobe scored 81 wilt got a quintuple double and wilt also scores 100 points but it is definitely up there
The vast majority of Durant's "poor performance" has to be down to Ime Udoka's tactical masterclass on the defensive end, no opposition has coach has ever been so well placed to know how to shut down their opposition's superstars. Genius execution from the Celtics for the first 3 games too
Doesn't really hurt to have brad Steven's in side your building too It's basically like having 2 amazing coaches in one building. I bet they consult each other all the time

Great content as always. I guess the difference between KD and those other players is that they had the benefit of redemption, by either winning a ring that year or the next. Which is why its forgotten about or swept under the rug. Obviously we don't have that data yet, to know if KD will win next year, but i think with how tough the east is becoming the chances aren't great. If KD does win soon then this series will mean nothing. If he doesn't then its an indication of his decline.

@@6sols988 Outside of wins in that 2006 play off run, kobe had worse stats. That's weird saying because the bean normally a menace, if thats the worst I see from KD that's insane. 27 8 8 is not bad for a 1st round play off stat, I hold Kobe far above KD on an all star list. That being said for "turning his back" KD put up respectable numbers for doing so, and I think isn't really comparable to kobe stats in 2006.
Thank you for posting jimmy. These videos give me the inspiration in the day to just get stuff done and they are hella interesting. And congratulations on getting 2 mil subs. Keep up the good work man god bless.🙏🏾 💯
Not one mention of what the Celtics did to make this happen Im disappointed Jimmy Its not like KD just melted down cuz it wasn't his night. There was a defensive scheme tailor made for KD that was executed to perfection. Kudos to to the entire Celtics roster and coaching staff and especially to Tatum. What they pulled off isn't something easy.
@@majin-ny Exactly KDs meltdown was pathetic.. Imagine him playing i nthe 90s he would barely had 20 points in those games - Look at what Defensive schemes Jordan had against him or kobe or shaq literally got beat u and hacked and thrown to the ground ALL GAME LONG.. Kd is a top 20 player IF THAT no way top 1-10
Bro KD is being compared to the best of the best KOBE , Lebron, MJ . look at the defensive schemes draw up against them - Celtics didn't even play KD physical compared to those 3 guys just imagine
I have probably watched every single video of yours. I started watching you in 2019 October somewhere. All I'm trying to say is that I don't think i have watched any other sports based youtuber for this long. I watch many peoples channel which is related to sports, but i have honestly never been consistent watching any of those channel like this. It's all because I know the quality you are gonna deliver and it's impressive how good you make these videos. Big ups to the 2 mil you deserve.
Jxmy is the GOAT. I listen to a lot of TH-cam videos in the background while doing something else. But I can’t with this guy, because his content is too good.
I hope you keep making videos as long as I live. This is another example of thoughtful writing, incisive analysis and quality video editing to produce a tight 10 to 12 minute surgical analysis despite all that is said and done out in the haze of the knee-jerk NBA basketball critical reactions. Seriously. Your perspectives are thoughtful and levelheaded. As always, nice work. Keep it up.
While I appreciate the analysis I think it's important to mention when players are hobbled by injuries. Wade and Curry were both hurt during their bad playoff series for example. That has to factor into how they played and shouldn't be bunched in with other players who had no injuries holding them back.
For DWade his knees gradually became plastic since the 2012 season and they slowed him down significantly by the 2014 season, him and Bosh were pretty much a glorified role players but the Heat were able to go all the way to the finals because of Lebron's brilliance and the fact that the eastern conference was awful.
Really can't disregard the constant doubling, bumping, hacking, overall amazingly defending KD by half the Celtics having been assigned to guard him that series. We know he's not really sturdy under this onslaught and give him some credit for not giving up and trying to make the best out of it.
I have never seen a team legitimately stop KD, like ever. The Celtics did something I didn’t even think was possible, I’ve watched LeBron get 35 footers shot right over his head. I’ve seen Kobe get fadeaways thrown on him over and over again. Shit I’ve seen literally every build try to stop him, short guys get bullied, big guys can’t keep up, guys that look like him can’t guard his bag. Marcus Smart and Jayson Tatum deserve mad props for that defensive performance.
@@neveahphillips5610 Like boxing, style make fight … And the Celtics were the worst matchup possible for KD, their team is built to stop tall/lenghty great shooters, Tatum is literally the perfect defender for KD, he is like 2 inches shorter, but he is also lenghty, younger and more athletic, with amazing lateral speed and deceleration, he is like a taller Jrue Holiday … My favorite player is Lebron and i was happy that KD lost and « choked », because without his weak ass move to the Warriors Lebron would probably have 1-2 more rings and still be a CAVS, but i still love KD because im a basketball fan before everything, and i know it was just the worst matchup for him, just like Lebron in 2011 with Tyson Chandler (2011 DPOY, 7ft 240lbs)+ Dirk, another 7footer and Jason Kidd a Top 5 point guard, 2nd all time in steals and assists … And back then Lebron wasn’t as skilled in term of shooting and even finishing at the rim+ he had all the pressure in the world with the « decision » and then the Big 3 presentation were he said not 3, not 4, not 5 ect … And it was his first season with players he had never played before, chemistry take time to come sometimes … So even young Lebron and KD, 2 of the most complete player ever could/can be stopped, but the post 2015 Lebron is unstoppable, the only player who can stop him is himself, because he is still an athletic beast shooting 73.9% from less than 5ft, and now shoot 35% from 3 (and he take a lot of very deep 3´s this season he was more efficient from the logo than Curry, Lebron shot 37.2% between 25-29ft, 36% between 30-34ft and 100% between 35-39ft, he only took 1 shot from there but still), and he shot 42.4% from midrange and 44.3% with his fadeaway), post 2015 Lebron is unstoppable, he scored the most points ever in a single playoffs run in 2018 while averaging 9assists, 9 rebounds and still able to be an elite defender, even before 2015 when his shot was falling you couldn’t do anything to stop him … So if there is a player that is really unguardable/unstoppable it’s post 2015 Lebron, that 4 years stretch with the CAVS was amazing and i don’t care if he lost to a 73-9 team who added the 2nd best player in the world in his prime … That’s like if Shaq went to the BULLS in 97 after being eliminated by them the year before when they had that legendary 72-10 season, that’s what KD did, imagine Shaq on the BULLS, that’s what KD did that’s why i have a hard time to have compassion for him, he ruined what would have been the greatest rivalry of all time …
I envisioned Michael Jordan as a flawless player my whole life because this is the first time I have actually seen MJ lowlights. It's almost strange seeing him turn the ball over, like he's actually human.
i am a mj fanboy but one thing separated him was next year he swept the magic winning by like 15 pts per game. granted the magic didnt have grant but still.
@Nino Black Why can't people just accept that those Bulls without Grant weren't beating the Magic that year? Jordan looked like Jordan in some of those L's putting up 40 on over 50% the Bulls just weren't big enough. People wanna make so many excuses for MJ like he's their papi or some gay shit. The next year Jordan didn't play too great vs the Magic either outside of game 4. Game 3 he only had 17 points on 33% shooting. Game 1 he was severely outplayed by Penny. Game 2 he played decent but shot 42%. What made the difference the 2nd time was great team defense and RODMAN. Dude grabbed 6 or more offense rebounds in every game. Dude had a 21 rebound game. Dude would at least give you 10-15 quiet ass 60% or up points to go with that. He made the Bulls capable of beating the Magic so easily in addition to Grants elbow injury...
@@JS-xu1so Bulls also had Rodman that year and MJ really only had one good game (game 4) so I don't know why he gets all the credit. They even won by 19 when he only scored 17 on 33% shooting in game 3. Bulls were just the better team overall. Their Defense was lockdown.
@@tghetto5 THANK YOU! People (mostly people who weren't alive or old enough to remember) act like Judden walked on water, ate bullets, and shit ice cream! He was marketed as infallible, and it continues to this day for some reason?
I would be interested to see the rating of the defenses if their opponents. This year, the Celtics have a very good defense. Same with the spurs in 14 and the Pistons in 04. A great player is great but they can only do so much.
Scottie was greater than MJ. If MJ would have let Scottie do more, they would have won more championships. When Jordan got drafted, I thought they would have won that same year. Nope.
I always knew the media and social media blew KD’s bad performance out of proportion. Like it’s definitely not the worst performance from a superstar, sure it was disappointing to see, especially after last years playoffs. But KD atleast have a good performance on Game 4.
10:56 that is an actual question that needs to be answered. Judging by the response, I assume Jimmy believes getting swept in the first round is better than losing in the finals. So not making the playoffs at all would be even better than getting swept in the first round with that logic. So, being the worst team in the league is better than being the second best team in the league? In my opinion, losing early is worse than losing in the finals. Choking either way is bad, but I much rather choke as the second best team in the league than choke as the 16th worst team in the league
I agree, if you choke in the finals or the conference finals it means you did something big before it to carry your team all the way there and that should be a point in your favor, meanwhile if you choke in the first round then...you really did nothing in these playoffs and couldn't win even one series. A choke is a choke regardless of occasion.
Agreed. I also find it hilarious that he used finals performance stats for every player except for KD. He used the KD stats of the first round choke not a Finals performance. He's trying to hide KDs choke series.
Logically, your argument is sound but that’s just not how things work. It shouldn’t be, but that’s how it is. It’s the same reason we praise MJ’s 6-0 record when we all know it’s because he didn’t make it to the finals in 90 and 95. Edit: also the reason why steph blowing a 3-1 lead in the finals was worse than when kd blew a 3-1 lead in the WCF…AGAINST STEPH…..JUST BEFORE THE 2016 FINALS. I mean nobody EVER talks about the ladder.
Notice in the beginning no other Denver Nugget outside of the Joker had a better series than KD... meanwhile there were multiple players from most other teams to have that happen. Goes to show how valuable Jokic is to his team and how improbable it was for him to not get swept by a stacked Warriors team who had 3 players to outperform Durant
@@allanhouston.1884 Giannis the best player in the league imo but Jokic is the most valuable one, Jokic carried a G league team to a respectable 48-34 record.

@@neoak47peno82 that goes for everyone though. Remeber when everyone thought steph fell off because he played bad for a bit. Everytime lebron plays bad he gets clowned the hardest.
@@neoak47peno82 did you just start watching basketball today? his clowning isn't that bad compared to guys like kawhi and pg13 after choking a 3-1 lead, same with curry and klay, and same with giannis when he lost back2back years in 2019, 2020, kd finally gets criticized, and its a big deal? grow up, learn to hold the guys you idolize accountable, instead of riding their coattails for once...
Brilliantly done! What I will say though is that being up 3-1 on GS and not closing the deal with OKC in 2016 is probably the series KD wishes he could do over
I'm glad I watched this. I was beginning to think no TH-camr on the planet made a video about how the Brooklyn Nets were the only team in the 2022 NBA Playoffs that got swept. 💁🏻♂️🏀
This is what I’m saying, that entire team was on his ass every move he made, their defensive mission was to at all costs never let KD produce in isolation, and they did a damn good job.

Naw hell naw at least Kobe won some games and the situation entirely different people really thought Kobe was the downfall of the lakers nd his “ballhogging” somehow made the team worse the media was painting a crazy narrative nd some of his teammates who were ass were tryna side wit them so he made a point this nigga KD got locked up nd roughed up nd flat out quit on his team bc he couldn’t handle the pressure nd just wanted the series to be over 💯

KD QUIT GAME ONE TOO KYRIE WAS PISSED AND JUST DIDNT CARE AFTER THAT GAME
@@6sols988 Outside of wins in that 2006 play off run, kobe had worse stats. That's weird saying because the bean normally a menace, if thats the worst I see from KD that's insane. 27 8 8 is not bad for a 1st round play off stat, I hold Kobe far above KD on an all star list. That being said for "turning his back" KD put up respectable numbers for doing so, and I think isn't really comparable to kobe stats in 2006.

Wow empressive !
Not one mention of what the Celtics did to make this happen
Im disappointed Jimmy
Its not like KD just melted down cuz it wasn't his night.
There was a defensive scheme tailor made for KD that was executed to perfection.
Kudos to to the entire Celtics roster and coaching staff and especially to Tatum.
What they pulled off isn't something easy.
You still don’t expect a guy like KD to melt down like that even if ur team has “phenomenal defense”
@@majin-ny Why the quotes they played some of the best defense in playoff history
@@majin-ny Exactly KDs meltdown was pathetic.. Imagine him playing i nthe 90s he would barely had 20 points in those games - Look at what Defensive schemes Jordan had against him or kobe or shaq literally got beat u and hacked and thrown to the ground ALL GAME LONG.. Kd is a top 20 player IF THAT no way top 1-10
@@cosmomacero3040 very debatable, it was good defense tho
Bro KD is being compared to the best of the best KOBE , Lebron, MJ . look at the defensive schemes draw up against them - Celtics didn't even play KD physical compared to those 3 guys just imagine

All players have had a bad series even the GOAT MJ. What people need to focus on is the fact that truly great players bounce back and avenge it.
Well, MJ did ended sweep those same Magic the next season, playing like fucking god himself, so yeah, I can see where you're coming
been watching the videos since 2019 love how they have progressed and the facts are amazing
While I appreciate the analysis I think it's important to mention when players are hobbled by injuries. Wade and Curry were both hurt during their bad playoff series for example. That has to factor into how they played and shouldn't be bunched in with other players who had no injuries holding them back.
But but brucebrown said "they aint got robert williams so we goin to attack them celtics"😂😂😂
Lol no. Curry was running, SPRINTING off screens and hirting step backs on the same leg that was “hobbled” he was 90% bare minimum.
For DWade his knees gradually became plastic since the 2012 season and they slowed him down significantly by the 2014 season, him and Bosh were pretty much a glorified role players but the Heat were able to go all the way to the finals because of Lebron's brilliance and the fact that the eastern conference was awful.
@@julian2238 no way you think Steph was at 90% couldn’t even blow past Kevin Love when he’d get the switch

Really can't disregard the constant doubling, bumping, hacking, overall amazingly defending KD by half the Celtics having been assigned to guard him that series. We know he's not really sturdy under this onslaught and give him some credit for not giving up and trying to make the best out of it.
I have never seen a team legitimately stop KD, like ever. The Celtics did something I didn’t even think was possible, I’ve watched LeBron get 35 footers shot right over his head. I’ve seen Kobe get fadeaways thrown on him over and over again. Shit I’ve seen literally every build try to stop him, short guys get bullied, big guys can’t keep up, guys that look like him can’t guard his bag. Marcus Smart and Jayson Tatum deserve mad props for that defensive performance.
Neveah Phillips right?! he was genuinely considered unguardable, but those Cs figured him out, Kobe would be proud.
@@neveahphillips5610 Like boxing, style make fight … And the Celtics were the worst matchup possible for KD, their team is built to stop tall/lenghty great shooters, Tatum is literally the perfect defender for KD, he is like 2 inches shorter, but he is also lenghty, younger and more athletic, with amazing lateral speed and deceleration, he is like a taller Jrue Holiday … My favorite player is Lebron and i was happy that KD lost and « choked », because without his weak ass move to the Warriors Lebron would probably have 1-2 more rings and still be a CAVS, but i still love KD because im a basketball fan before everything, and i know it was just the worst matchup for him, just like Lebron in 2011 with Tyson Chandler (2011 DPOY, 7ft 240lbs)+ Dirk, another 7footer and Jason Kidd a Top 5 point guard, 2nd all time in steals and assists … And back then Lebron wasn’t as skilled in term of shooting and even finishing at the rim+ he had all the pressure in the world with the « decision » and then the Big 3 presentation were he said not 3, not 4, not 5 ect … And it was his first season with players he had never played before, chemistry take time to come sometimes …
So even young Lebron and KD, 2 of the most complete player ever could/can be stopped, but the post 2015 Lebron is unstoppable, the only player who can stop him is himself, because he is still an athletic beast shooting 73.9% from less than 5ft, and now shoot 35% from 3 (and he take a lot of very deep 3´s this season he was more efficient from the logo than Curry, Lebron shot 37.2% between 25-29ft, 36% between 30-34ft and 100% between 35-39ft, he only took 1 shot from there but still), and he shot 42.4% from midrange and 44.3% with his fadeaway), post 2015 Lebron is unstoppable, he scored the most points ever in a single playoffs run in 2018 while averaging 9assists, 9 rebounds and still able to be an elite defender, even before 2015 when his shot was falling you couldn’t do anything to stop him …
So if there is a player that is really unguardable/unstoppable it’s post 2015 Lebron, that 4 years stretch with the CAVS was amazing and i don’t care if he lost to a 73-9 team who added the 2nd best player in the world in his prime … That’s like if Shaq went to the BULLS in 97 after being eliminated by them the year before when they had that legendary 72-10 season, that’s what KD did, imagine Shaq on the BULLS, that’s what KD did that’s why i have a hard time to have compassion for him, he ruined what would have been the greatest rivalry of all time …
This was just 80-90 defense…
Grizzlies did it before and so did the Mavs
I envisioned Michael Jordan as a flawless player my whole life because this is the first time I have actually seen MJ lowlights. It's almost strange seeing him turn the ball over, like he's actually human.
Crazy that he balled out the rest of the series that the series numbers look like usual MJ
i am a mj fanboy but one thing separated him was next year he swept the magic winning by like 15 pts per game. granted the magic didnt have grant but still.
@Nino Black Why can't people just accept that those Bulls without Grant weren't beating the Magic that year? Jordan looked like Jordan in some of those L's putting up 40 on over 50% the Bulls just weren't big enough. People wanna make so many excuses for MJ like he's their papi or some gay shit. The next year Jordan didn't play too great vs the Magic either outside of game 4. Game 3 he only had 17 points on 33% shooting. Game 1 he was severely outplayed by Penny. Game 2 he played decent but shot 42%. What made the difference the 2nd time was great team defense and RODMAN. Dude grabbed 6 or more offense rebounds in every game. Dude had a 21 rebound game. Dude would at least give you 10-15 quiet ass 60% or up points to go with that. He made the Bulls capable of beating the Magic so easily in addition to Grants elbow injury...
@@JS-xu1so Bulls also had Rodman that year and MJ really only had one good game (game 4) so I don't know why he gets all the credit. They even won by 19 when he only scored 17 on 33% shooting in game 3. Bulls were just the better team overall. Their Defense was lockdown.

Man, you are so right. I went like super sain mode when they got blown out, but now you telling me this I'm feeling a bit cooled off now
I would be interested to see the rating of the defenses if their opponents. This year, the Celtics have a very good defense. Same with the spurs in 14 and the Pistons in 04. A great player is great but they can only do so much.
Scottie was greater than MJ. If MJ would have let Scottie do more, they would have won more championships. When Jordan got drafted, I thought they would have won that same year. Nope.

I always knew the media and social media blew KD’s bad performance out of proportion. Like it’s definitely not the worst performance from a superstar, sure it was disappointing to see, especially after last years playoffs. But KD atleast have a good performance on Game 4.
Give DJ Eastwood and his channel Run it back Philly his dues
10:56 that is an actual question that needs to be answered. Judging by the response, I assume Jimmy believes getting swept in the first round is better than losing in the finals. So not making the playoffs at all would be even better than getting swept in the first round with that logic. So, being the worst team in the league is better than being the second best team in the league? In my opinion, losing early is worse than losing in the finals. Choking either way is bad, but I much rather choke as the second best team in the league than choke as the 16th worst team in the league
I agree, if you choke in the finals or the conference finals it means you did something big before it to carry your team all the way there and that should be a point in your favor, meanwhile if you choke in the first round then...you really did nothing in these playoffs and couldn't win even one series. A choke is a choke regardless of occasion.
Agreed. I also find it hilarious that he used finals performance stats for every player except for KD. He used the KD stats of the first round choke not a Finals performance. He's trying to hide KDs choke series.
Logically, your argument is sound but that’s just not how things work. It shouldn’t be, but that’s how it is.
It’s the same reason we praise MJ’s 6-0 record when we all know it’s because he didn’t make it to the finals in 90 and 95.
Edit: also the reason why steph blowing a 3-1 lead in the finals was worse than when kd blew a 3-1 lead in the WCF…AGAINST STEPH…..JUST BEFORE THE 2016 FINALS. I mean nobody EVER talks about the ladder.
Finally some sense in this whole video and comments

Notice in the beginning no other Denver Nugget outside of the Joker had a better series than KD... meanwhile there were multiple players from most other teams to have that happen.

Giannis is much better than Jokic.

Celtics deserve credit way more than KD deserves the blame. They schemed him out perfectly, and KD had neither the coach nor the team to counter it.
This is what I’m saying, that entire team was on his ass every move he made, their defensive mission was to at all costs never let KD produce in isolation, and they did a damn good job.
