Welcome to today's discussion where we delve into the intriguing world of basketball defense, exploring the stark contrast between bad and good defensive plays. Join us as we dissect the characteristics that make a player excel in defending the court.
In this analysis, we uncover the deceptive art of cosplaying as a defender, where a player may appear attentive but lacks the crucial elements of effective defense. Lateral movements, understanding defensive positioning, and avoiding unnecessary fouls become pivotal factors in distinguishing a player's defensive prowess.
But is defense merely a subjective eye test or does it reflect in the statistics? We explore instances where leading in steals or blocks doesn't necessarily secure a spot on the all-defensive team. Take Baron Davis and Allen Iverson, for example, who despite their impressive steal records, never earned the defensive accolades.
Moving beyond individual performances, we dissect team defensive lapses, exemplified by Westbrook's tendency to double-team rather than sticking to his defensive assignments. We scrutinize the strategic choices teams make, from allowing mildly contested threes to executing effective help defense.
Watch closely as the Golden State Warriors demonstrate seamless defensive switching, emphasizing the importance of communication and intuition. Draymond Green's exemplary use of body positioning against taller opponents, like LaMarcus Aldridge, showcases how a smaller player can disrupt a towering offensive force.
PJ Tucker emerges as a prime example of a dedicated defender in the Eastern Conference semifinals, relentlessly guarding Kevin Durant despite a significant height disadvantage. Tucker's commitment to disrupting Durant's balance and making every shot a challenge illustrates the impact of a defensive mindset.
On the flip side, players like Trae Young face criticism for their lack of defensive engagement. Instances of Young being exposed defensively by savvy opponents highlight the mental aspect of defense and its impact on the overall game.
Discover the role of defensive integrity in gauging team unity, with examples from Devin Booker's transformation from a defensive liability to a key contributor under Chris Paul's leadership. Accountability and pride in defensive responsibilities become essential elements in building a strong team defense.
While offensive skills often steal the spotlight, we shed light on the underappreciated defensive stars by examining the NBA's hustle stats. Efforts in deflections, contested shots, loose balls recovered, and charges taken are the unsung heroes that contribute to a team's success.
As we wrap up, we acknowledge players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, leading in hustle stats and influencing OKC's stellar defensive performance. Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts on defensive aspects we might have missed, and don't forget to like or dislike the video. Your feedback might inspire another insightful discussion in the future. Be good to your corndog and stay tuned for more basketball insights.
I feel so sorry for you. Your videos are really well edited,you post frequently and you know what you're talking about,but for some reason they dont get the views and likes they deserve
Im saying, i would expect atleast 20k on his should be lowest video
TH-cam algorithm must be working against him. Because the shit he posts is fire!
All good. I love the game.
Well, he just got recommended on my feed, awesome vid, instant subscribe. I feel his channel is about to change, keep up the good work!
His time will come. Never do things for money or fame. Do what ur passionate about for the sake of doing it n accept what comes of it
The most underrated nba channel. Algorithm needs to pick this up
thank you for your blessing
He's absolutely correct. I was blessed enough that the algorithm put me on today.
I think the issue is that some players justify being below average at defense bc they feel they’re putting 100% into offense. They just don’t seem to get that they’ll have more team success if they save some energy and stay engaged on defense.
I agree. I think that's an understated element.
Great video, unlike offense, finding a truly good defensive player forces you to watch and actually undetstand the game.
watching bad defense is like watching a couple passive aggressively fight with each other.
aside from positioning playing defense is 90% about your mentality as a player, that’s why i always liked kawhi, jrue, white… they’re all dawgs and i appreciate the effort more than anything else
Same. It's an integrity thing if you really think about it.
Saw you on TikTok and it has been the best decision in my life, got me feeling like an analyst on ESPN
Thanks for your migration
That twirling clip of Dirk is wild 😂
haha, I know. BRUTAL
first
keep up the good work btw love the videos
always. see you next monday.
That’s a good point because at first he was just known as a scorer (shai) and as he gotten better at defense which is another person who improved defensively after cp3 he’s gotten more recognition
That's true. I wonder what Shai would have to say about his time with CP3
I needed this video ngl. Everyone says “he’s a bad defender” but I never really understood
most of the time it just means lazy.
Comment for the algorithm
blessed
Coming from a Celtics Fan i see some good back court D but I have noticed all of what White and Holiday do is effort just put in a little effort is all you can ask for and it sucks when you see guys like Lillard (who I like don’t get me wrong) literally walking on defense and standing around doing nothing.
I know. you gotta cut him a little slack because he does so much on offense.
Honestly think its insane you have 5k subs. Id guess your at 500k+ based on the quality of your stuff🙏
thanks! this video has actually helped me a lot. it's really getting some traction in feeds.
Solid content, I’m always looking forward to your vids! keep up the great work!
much appreciated! see you next Monday!
Hey joey, do you post on tiktok first before youtube. Also i love your videos
Not related to the subject of your video buuut: If I could pick two teams to see in the finals I would love it to be OKC vs Pacers.
Amazing video as always. I am waiting for your channel to get some well deserved algorithm love from YT.
That would be an incredible story, and sickos like us would love it. The NBA would totally hate because those markets are so small. Thanks for the support!
Im baffled this doesnt have millions of views wtf
4 thousand ain't bad though for me
This is a really good channel. It's giving Bill Nye for basketball.
That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.
Subscribed. Your knowledge runs deep, son.
thank you, brother
Others have said it already but your vids deserves more attention than they get. Keep up the good work man, your time is coming
always good to hear it again. thanks man.
Miles Turner is considered a good defender. He's just not Rudy Gobert, Brook Lopez, Bam Adebayo, or Anthony Davis good.
His position is kind of stacked with rim protectors.
he's good on the perimeter too
That sounder and the clip of Chet bodining Colin Sexton, or someone from the Jazz made me cackle haha
chet is nasty. ROTY imo
@@whatslaps 100% agree. I know it probably won't happen but it'd be crazy if Chet wins and Jaime Jacquez Jr comes in 2nd over Wemby
hidden gem right here
the gem is revealing itself.
please do not stop making videos.Your content is lit 🔥🔥🔥
I won't stop 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome video as always bro
Glad you dig em, fam.
Sound effects making me think my AirPods are dying 😂
haha, I actually use a lot of the macOS sound effects.
Defense is mostly effort required IMO. Obviously there are guys that have high basketball IQ and natural instincts. Spot on with the Cp3 and Suns example. Cp3 showed that winning takes defense and defense takes effort. Shout out to PJ Tucker. Hope the Clippers buy him out and my Bucks bring him back for leadership off the court and on defense. (Doubt it happens bc he’s boys with Harden).
Also, may I ask what software do you do your editing on?
I think it's first of all smarts, then effort. Hope PJ gets minutes somewhere at least.
I use final cut.
I'm completely over Embiid and Jokic. They're great players, but to me, SGA is the MVP this year. He's a great perimeter defender, scores 31 ppg on great efficiency and creates shots for his teammates.
He's great but I think more than likely it's going to one of the big boys again.
I’m about as big of a Jokic fan as it gets but I have to agree. SGA is doing everything you can ask of a player and he’s doing it at a REALLY high level
Wait isnt defense illegal in the modern nba?
you can defend, but no touching.
Kind of shame for Russ to have been such an offensive phenom while being a liability on the other side of the ball. Great team D is always a beauty to behold, like poetry out on the floor watching a cohesive unit excel. Gotta be tough/frustrating going against Dray and Tucker. I suppose the Trae truthers argument is that he (more than) makes up for his lack of defense with his offensive ability. Always a sad sight to see teams "fall apart" with bad defense when it's noticeable that they are getting upset with each other because of lack of effort. I remember Bookers bad D days, CP3 definitely help change things in the right direction. Would not have guessed Shai being at the top of all those hustle stats categories, impressive, makes me like him even more. As the saying goes, "defense wins games but offense gets the glory". Killa vid again homes. Thank you. Appreciate ya.
That's the thing. Defense is just effort and when teams look around at each other like "Who had that guy?" It creates toxicity. I'm not going to play Defense if that guys not playing defense. The best team's best player has to set the standard and play defense. Then no one has an excuse. Michael Porter Jr. was a defensive liability until Jokic went hard on d.
You’re gonna blow up soon maybe chill on the green screen a bit but other than that this is a great start
thanks!
Can you think of a short list of more players who used to be bad defenders and are now generally "good" or at least not net negative defenders, and vice versa, players who used to make regularly high iq/hustle defensive efforts who no longer do so? Another great vid!
I have a video about players who had to evolve their game and players who didn't evolve and fell off. It's from last feb. Ben SImmons is the thumbnail. Also thanks!
No you didn't just do my boy Dirk dirty like that. :(
I praised the fadeaway though
It's fair anyway, haha. He did develop that slick slap steal eventually at least. @@whatslaps
Really fun to watch these as someone who only recently started watching the nba
Sweet! That's the goal for the channel! Helping new fans contextualize the game quickly!
i love good defense and love okc’s defense this year which you brought up - i would want to say shai snubbed and dort imo too but the selections are good - i wish there was a third team all defense
yeah, Shai should have been on it for sure.
Oh snap I didn't know Shae was so good on D.
I knew, but now I got proof.
lebum has a whole montage of not playing defense and quitting on the plays.
yeah, but he's my guy :)
@@whatslaps lol I had a feeling when you started with that Russ hit piece.
No Alex Caruso mention? I think that Alex and Draymond are two players who are definitely out there for their defense first and any offense that they produce is just appreciated.😊
I think I mentioned him right?
You didn’t miss anything but it was pretty bad faith to portray Trae as a horrible defender by using clips of him 2 years ago rather than this season on one hand but then go out your way to explain how Booker developed into a better defender on the other.
Be consistent and use examples of active players in their current season if you are gonna label how good they are defensively or acknowledge how both players improved their defense.
yeah, I will next time.
Thanks!
Cha-ching!
Defender: I did it! You have to shoot moving away from the basket.
Dirk: I'm sorry, I'm not the one in trouble here. *You* are
easiest way to create space is fall backwards
@@whatslaps I know. But moving backwards in mid air to shoot is idfficult. I belive you said it yourself. My bad if I misunderstood
@@whatslaps Oh wait, I meant off balance shots for the defender. My bad
I'm getting so fat because of those damn corndog ! anyway great content. A video on All star weekend soon?
that's actually not bad! Maybe how the level of competition has changed over the years? stay fat. stay sassy.
Shai is so underrated by mant
yeah and he's rated pretty high.
This guy knows ball
I regurgitate ball ;)
i feel like myles turner shouldve gotten a nod almost all blocks are in the restricted area the most efficient area to shoot from in basketball
consider this my nod. 🙂↕️
I think draymond is a better defender than tucker but otherwise great video man.
I agree. also thanks!
Whoever edits ur videos with sound effects knows their stuff
it's me
Every time I hear "Russell Westbrook always gives 100%" I get angry.
haha, I know. It ain't true.

why do you cut the clips off so fast before we could see what happened? 1st time watching just a lil critique
fair. I cut those clips from another video, so it was hard to edit.
@@whatslaps yea I getchu mb didn’t mean to hate. Keep doing ya thang bro 🙏
Hello again corn dog man
heyo!
SHAI SZNNNN
😎
Bro chill on the sound effects and random cuts 😂. Felt like watching a mobile game ad. Good info though.
Yeah, it's not for everyone. thanks though!
what it do sir jelly dog
andre drummond is the best player of all time
Woah woah don't go crazy now
Good vid, I’d just say the spam of random noises throughout the video is very annoying. All the noise and jumpcuts sort of take from the quality of what you’re saying
@whatshorts checkout this channel. It's my shorts channel, but I put longer videos on there without noise.
i disagree. gives a unique flair to the videos.
Do you play basketball?
Not as much as id like. Pretty much just run and surf these days.
@@whatslaps when you did play, what was your play style
Am I the only viewer who watches these videos at 0.75 speed?🙃
I do too.
Algorithme comment
thank you for the prayer
'
exactly
cut down on the editing, man. we don't need a sound effect every 2 seconds.
I have long videos with no editing on my shorts channel if you want to check it out. @whatshorts
