That action is intuitive by also being prepared. Knowing that most likely there will be a pass or a cut back door is important but if you have a great playmaker with the ball that makes it more challenging to guess correctly.
I agree that great players are not usually good coaches, however, what players should take away from what TA is teaching is how 'great defense' is an illusion of presenting a presence in order to control the offense as best as possible, showing help and then recovering. Being a mobile and vocal presence for your teammates and opponents. IMO, when all 5 guys are doing this, then it's a thing of beauty.
Nobody care about this part of the game sadly. It’s honestly the most entertaining to me. Love seeing offensive juggernauts get clamped every now and then.
This made me like Tony Allen even more haha but he right the biggest point i feel from this is to stop dribble penetration from the ball handler and make him make a pass and you are still in position because u can see tony already is moving back towards his man while the ball is in the air and he is ready to either contest the shot or be ready for that dribble drive from his man. All time defense awards yuh hurrrd
Keep them in front and make them shoot over the top of contest. Then make them also have to guard on other end. Off ball defense is complex and it changes depending on matchups and how the game is going
@@anthonyanderson5693 outta your mind. Kd dropped 51 on kawhis head. What makes you think allen is even bothering prime kd. 2016-2019 kd.is the greatest offensive weapon ever. Had dirks post game. Tmacs pull up game. Curry level handles. Could dunk and finish well. And was an ELITE defender.
A lot of it is just instincts & reaction time. You can teach offense, but you can’t teach defense. You’re either gifted or you’re not. Still, this is good to watch if you’re trying to sharpen up some.
I would love to see my Knicks pay this man to train our youngster's how to play real defense for 48 minutes. Front offices should hire these types of rough riders to help train and develop their player's. I'm not going to mention MJ, cause he is the GOAT. But I would hire Gary Payton, Tony Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ben Wallace to train the players that are playing the position that they played. Obviously you would have to get certain types of players, but I think it would be awesome to have these guys on any developmental staff in the league.
what he did is called a "stunt" and even though you have a shooter on the corner on the side where the drive is coming its still the correct play to make the ball handler second guess
Crazy how a video of the best permitter defender of all time showing you how to play defense only has 31k views smh just shows what this generation cares about
Mr. Allen we respect you and your defensive prowess when you were still active. Unfortunately this stupid NBA league has become a lame and boring league to watch. It's hard to play defense when contesting shots but what us and the younger generation of hoopers can absorb from you is your ability to position yourself properly, anticipate, and intercept. It's hard to BLOCK shots in the NBA these days and stealing/intercepting the ball is the only viable and rewarding option due to the rule changes. They want the league to become a ALL-STAR setting every darn official game w/c is bullcrap favoring heavily the SHOOTERS.
This is not working against a modern age team. Not when almost everybody can shoot on the wing. Nobody is doing this against klay, Duncan Robinson , steph, etc
First team all defense. Mad respect for tony allen

“If I can’t get the steal... then they gon pay the bill.” 😂🔥

Great defenders can’t explain their technique 😂. It’s all about having the disposition and pride.

There’s a reason he’s not been ask to be a assistant coach

Allen had a rough time explaining…….lol. But I like it, he’s being himself. I laughed a few times watching this. Overall, good video, TA!
🤗
Awesome that Scal came in to clarify at the end! Scal is so intelligent and can articulate so well!
Lol Scal strolling in at the end kills me. Amazing work as always by TA!
Ikr? 😂
2:55 the goat helping Tony discuss his techniques.
This is good! Even though he corrects himself, he knew how to play it. I appreciate the breakdown.
Tony Allen laughs "Trynna explains dat " Then my boy ended it with the "sommo shit"

The Grindfather!!
Is that a thing or you just make that up? Sounds smooth.
@@mitchrijkaard6757 Naw, Tony Allen was already nicknamed that during his time during his time with the Grit N Grind Memphis Grizzlies.
@@cesarcanete3402 Ah, cool! I didn't know that. Learn something every day!
Tony Allen was an ELITE defender. I do mean ELITE. Kobe said all you needed to know about Tony Allen as a defender.

This is gold...thanks to skip n Shannon dremon discussion
wait, is that the White Mamba at the end?
there must be something to make this guy viral as corona
When tony teaching defense I’m listening I mean the guy locked up KD so who wouldn’t listen
That was young kd, now that mans got a crispy post game i dont think tony allen could touch him
@@harambedagorilla6086 as much as I love KD idk man tony Allen was that nigga
@@harambedagorilla6086 cuz bums like Patrick Beverly were guarding kd. Allen was better
Prime tony allen wud stil clamp KD today

Defense is 90% effort
Stamina is important for the defense and also hustle not all gifts but the instincts thing probably true
What if he fakes the pass and your man cuts back door? How do you position yourself to deny the ball all ways?
Damn randomly watching this video and realized me and him are both rockin Legend Blue 4s
is that the legendary white mamba
Yes indeed. When he first came into the shot I thought “lol this looks like the GOAT”. Sure enough it was him.
“If I can’t get the steal, they gon pay the bill” 💀💀💀
Was that kevin heart on red shirt?
You can’t teach great defense, it has to do with more reaction heart and energy than anything else.
Yea hustle and instinct

I would've paid to see Tony allen block scalabrine a few times 😂
B Scal 😭😭😭
XD
Jail
For such a great defender, this was pretty poorly explained
Yh, he's probably plays it through instincts and explaining it would be tough since we can't pick his brain.
What would have made his explanations clearer for you?
This is not working against a modern age team. Not when almost everybody can shoot on the wing. Nobody is doing this against klay, Duncan Robinson , steph, etc
Big reason why Boston won 2008...lock down defender with Rondo
He a drunk tho 😂
