Durant called Jrue the toughest defender and Jrue basically called KD the toughest to guard. Iron sharpens irons.
They'd be unstoppable together.
jrue called steph the most unguardable
@ANEESH ANAND steph and KD both are the toughest to guard, steph can do most things you mentioned KD could do aswell and hes a better passer and ball handler, steph is also the best off ball player of all time not just through screens but he literally breaks ankles without the ball
roast me
@ANEESH ANAND warriors utilize screens less than the media thinks they do, in fact they are in the lower bound of the league in terms of using on ball screens, rather curry is just so hard to guard because he is always moving without the ball and his shooting is so deadly that teams cant afford to give him any airspace.

"I approach every workout like a game, and every game like a workout"
-Kevin Durant
I approach work like sleep, and sleep like work. Tired
That's dope
@@MrE_ 😂😂
Literally sums it up 🤣🤣
I approach every snack like a meal, and every meal like a snack
KD is the most versatile all around scorer of all time. Period.
There’s no denying his talent. But we can always debate about the legitimacy of his rings. The reason we can? Durant left the warriors to get more or less a real ring because he knew his rings there weren’t truly earned. You can see it in his actions and the looks on his face, winning the rings like he did didn’t live up to the feeling of winning a chip he had always dreamed of, and that’s what happens when you take the easy way out. Let’s see is he can do it in Brooklyn.
@@YodaSmokes I agree with what you said. I wasn't talking about his LEGACY though. I'm talking about KD as an overall SCORER. He's a top 3 scorer ever and the most versatile all around effortless scorer ever. Period.
@@YodaSmokes won’t mean much in Brooklyn in my opinion because he has Kyrie and harden
@@YodaSmokes so does gsw only have one legit ring? Bcoz if he say the fmvp's titles are tainted so the team's title are also tainted
Yeah we get it, we know. Stop overstating it, it’s getting annoying
Jrue clearly wanted to say KD but didn’t want to disrespect Giannis. Respect him for that
Giannis himself said kd the best player in the world😂😭

@@BRlGADE_KINGPIN Lebron ?
@@kg4434 yeah, if this was 12 years ago
@@DLORandom nah he just called himself the king on Twitter not long ago.
KD is the definition of “where do you want it, how do you want it” he can score at every level in more ways then ANYONE in the NBA, wether it’s finesse or just sheer aggression he’s got hundreds of ways to getting to his spots
Facts
So lol he is the greatest scorer in the world not the greatest basketball player in the world
@@daniell5740 well Max Kellerman once said Kawhi is the best two-way player in the league but certainly not the best player. That statement was confusing asf. But then I realized, as long as Lebron is in the league, these guys would say just about anything just to keep a player below Lebron.
Woah woah hey hey 😨
@@daniell5740 hes been the best player in the league since 2017 im sorry to tell you bro, LeBron is LeBron and will always be a top 2 player in the NBA, hes the only one who touches KD and vice versa. It's hard for people to understand the greatness that KD is because of his GS Warrior decision, but when he was on OKC, as someone who lived here all my damn life, it felt like watching him was watching history, the only other player i get that feeling with is LeBron, watching him against the bucks this playoff was like watching a thanos with no infinity stones fight Hulk, Thor and Iron Man
Jrue pretty much agrees that KD is the best player in the NBA. Gotta love it!
No he didn’t lol
@@daniell5740 he is tho shut up
@@Aidan-sz9ew Big mad
Which is why he wouldnt name him? Notice when he mentioned best all around he wouldnt say Durant, probably thinks he the best scorer, not all around player. bc he isnt.
@@edwardocariter99 if he thought it was Giannis, his own teammate, it's easy to say, he didn't wanna say KD bc his teammate Giannis would be bothered, so he chose not comment, put 2 and 2 together it's common sense. KD and Giannis are the only two eligible for that title anyways, gimme KD all day.
It's easy to forget that KD tore his achilles not too long ago. That used to be a death sentence, but he's been amazing
Jrue Holiday calling KD a mindfuck, in so many words. That's magisterial.
Word 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha
He said the defenders are cones to KD lmao.
It’s funny cus I’m his recent interview on draymonds podcast that he treats every game like a workout lol
@@spacemans6732 It helps when you have superstars and can't double team."iT'S EASY" and the rules are so soft that stars/elite defenders like Giannis and Middleton can't risk to be in foul troubles and you have a mismatch with Holiday.

@@dimkilago2958 we’ve seen KD shoot and score over doubles religiously so wtf you talking about it wouldn’t have mattered if he got doubled or not lol you trying hard asf to discredit and hate ain’t no truth behind blind hate
Kevin Durant play his heart out in the second 2. Bucks vs Nets was one of the best series in the NBA.
Absolutely agree. On the edge of my seat for game 3, 5 and especially 7.
Honestly, to me, Bucks vs Nets was the best series since the 2016 finals
Jrue wanted to say KD, that says a lot. Hell even Giannis said it
And then TOOK
KD
OUTTTTTTTT
@@IknowMoreThanYou Lmao. That’s like saying Kawhi was better than LeBron in 2014 because he “took him out”

Ayoo
Lana Rhoades knows that 😂
When the best defender in the league thinks you're a bucket, you're probably a bucket
naw KD just isn’t a bucket he just is considered one of the best scorers all time
I can’t wait for him to drop 40 on the lakers on Christmas Day

It would mentally penetrated him more if kd made that 3 point shot
They didn’t play the nets in the conference finals. Seemed like it was the finals because of how hard that series was to get through but yeah.
@@enigmaticgenius7717 Atlanta
@@OverpoweredByMonk you are correct!👌
Bruh I was just thinking about this earlier on how KD is that tall and literally plays like a point guard dribbling, fadeaways, deep shots, step backs and all of that stuff that is crazy
@@TYballer389 damn near every one of dame step backs is a fadeaway bro
@@deez9805 no it’s not what😂
@@TYballer389 kyrie :O
It's crazy. We might not ever see a player like him again.
@@RoseCurry5 I agree same with lebron and if you want to be honest I think bron Nd kd paved the way for taller players to expand their games outside of the paint Nd middy
1:20 Jrue too smart😂
Made it look like he was really about to answer that question.😂😂😂 had me fooled
🤣🤣🤣
KD is like a musician that closes his eyes in his own solo ......sometimes u a Jimmy page and don't need no band .Guy is special . I be roasting KD but when I play 2k he is the best man lol . After a Achilles tear and still tearing up others Achilles is insane
Kd is so damn cold man 🥶
3:21 the whole point in why KD had to leave, the best defender is like “I played him in GSW but…”
Yeah, the world couldn’t see the greatness in GSW, he had to go to be recognized.
thats why hes with harden and kyrie...
@@bongoblack6292 did you watch the season? Those guys were injured and what was revealed was and is, Durant is the greatest player rn…come on who in gods name you taking over him rn?
I’d take KD over Durant, but Durant over anyone else.
@@CareFreeCommuting i did watch dog and i agree that he had to carry but its not like he expected them to be injured... he obviously intended to play with them fully healthy so thats not really a reason. Also curry > kd easily.
@@bongoblack6292 stop it... just like curry wanted KD and bron get a new team EVERY YEAR superstars play with stars
@@chefdre322 ok but my point is still right dumass

LMFAOO one side of the ball casual
@@IknowMoreThanYou who play one side of the ball?
@@IknowMoreThanYou saying I’m a casual for thinking kd better is a bit of a reach. Giannis obviously better defensively but KD is an above average defender and levels above Giannis offensively skill wise
@@nathanwong8805 Being a more skilled scorer doesn't make one a better player when it doesn't translate to victory. MJ was great because he was relentless on BOTH ends, but if MJ Joined the Detroit pistons after losing to them the year before LITERALLY NO ONE would say he's the best. Y'all are out here confusing a specific aesthetic skill with what actually makes one player better than the other. I'm a big KD fan, But I still wouldn't take him over a healthy Kawhi, let alone Giannis
@@IknowMoreThanYou lol boy tf outta here KD better than Kawhi and Giannis
KD is the greatest Mismatch of all time you either too little or too slow no in between !
Guys like giannis and PJ Tucker don't think so
@@reactking7093 he cooked them even though they were playing rugby on him
Jrue did the right thing not answering. But I think I have a good idea of who he was thinking. He was thinking KD.
3:23 Jrue stating that KD was a different beast in BKN compared to GS and that he carried the Nets should end the debate that KD can’t lead 🤷♂️
bro thats what media is trying to do lying about kd leadership and kd haters loving that , they scared they know kd greatness
@@ojoj5194 Facts only 💪
Yeah he led them but they still lost at the end of the day?
@@Blove1025 lol one man can’t do all. Never impossible bc lebron never did it alone. Jordan didn’t either no one has. And the nets had no one except for him bc harden a choker in the playoffs
@@Blove1025 bron led them and lost in the finals multiple times . He can obviously carry because he’s one of the most talented players ever, I don’t think he can lead/carry to the degree bron can but their game is different. People who say he can’t carry at all are crazy.
In his interview with Draymond, KD said he goes into every workout like a game and every game like a workout. That right there just to hear it from his polenta that he plays like he’s playing against cones is crazy

Man, I love Jrue and Giannis so much
KD knows he unstoppable been the best player in the league since 2016
Jrue is so chill love this interview
I just finished watching the whole interview and I knew you had to highlight this. 😂
Dude just won a gold medal and he’s doing an interview at a park or something. That’s pretty down to earth
Yeah, a park in a gated community.
Thats not how parks work
@@Monsterassassin3 wait wym how do parks work 🤣
As a nets fans we kept our season alive that’s why we were so hype when kd made the shot
Great convo. Thanks for the insight.
My man Holiday all but straight up stated KD is the best player in the NBA...may as well have just said it, no disrespect to his Beast Mode teammate...there is only one Kevin Durant...
Giannis dominates the two aspects of the game therefore he's the better player. KD is just a better scorer but Giannis can give you similar points at a higher efficiency.
I think it's safe to say that he considers KD the best offensive player. Which is probably the objective truth anyway. But he clarified it with 'best all around player'. And Giannis can enter this conversation cause he's an elite defender as well, while KD isn't particularly known for his defense.
Its clear by now. KD is the best scorer in the NBA and Giannis is the best player
we all know Kevin Durant is the best player in the world
How?, get to the finals and drop 2 40 point games and close it out with a 50 piece, that’s what the best in the world would do
@@memecoingemhunter2622 Wouldn’t have even been there if he didn’t injure Kyrie 🤡
I’ve honestly always thought KD was the best player in the league, even over lebron. KDs defense has improved a lot, and his game is just so effortless. He might be the top of the list. Now being the best player and the most accomplished is different in my eyes. Lebron, Kobe, Kareem etc. are more accomplished obviously but from a pure basketball player standpoint, I would arguably say KD is the best!
If we’re being honest lebron Is currently at the 3rd spot if not 4th if we base it off the performances from last season. KD, Giannis, and MAYBE even Curry played like they were the top 3 best in the league. I think they will prove it again when this next season starts
@@MannyParadisee bruh LeBron shouldn't even be top 5 this season. Jokic played better. Embiid played better . Harden was averaging 26, 11 and 8 on a superteam lol(before injury ofcourse). . While LeBron averaged 26 8 and 8 before injury. Idk how ppl put him so high
@@Fraudkovic Because his team had one of the best records before injury with no AD or two-three superstars. He was the leading the MVP race over Em and Joker. Keep playing.
@@varnxxx no he was never leading the mvp race before embiids injury lol you must have bad memory. He overtook him after embiid got injured. Then harden came in and overtook LeBron with historic 40 point triple double with zero turnovers and after that LeBron got injured and then harden got injured so jokic got 1st and embiid got 2nd and meanwhile curry went crazy but didn't win because of trash team. So if we're basing it on this season LeBron shouldn't be top 5 . That's just logic. You can't just rank them off trajectory
Plus if injuries are a part of the game so if you put LeBron in there then you should put harden in there too because he was carrying the nets to a top seed without kd who was being rested all the time and Kyrie who was inconsistent af. Your point about 2-3 superstars is invalid when they played only 9 regular season games together.
@@Fraudkovic Boi you tripping on some weird stuff. You're saying he overtook Embiid after injury? While Giannis led in January and LeBron led the race till February 19th till he was overtaken by Embiid until his injury. Pass me the blunt too that you're smoking.
I was a hornets fan as a child, I went to all of the home games, I saw Baron Davis, Chris Paul, etc., and I can confidently say that out of everybody that has played here Jrue is the person I'm happiest to see go and win.
Jrue is one of my favorite players for a long time now, good guy to.
You could tell Jrue Holiday wanted to say KD was the best player but couldn't cause Giannis was his teammate. Smart move by Jrue.
KD will be a top 5 player of all time if not top 3.
He could, few more rings and more personal accolades and he should have a argument
In other words if KD is KD for a while longer and gets jewelry as a result he will force the argument
@@theprfesssor those would be the cherry 🍒 on top BUT I'm just talking straight skills.
@@DogWater2011 "straight skills", he might be top 2 and not 2...there's literally nothing he can't do offensively, crazy efficiency, and he's 7 ft. while doing all of it...once again, just talking "straight skills", I don't think we've seen anyone on his level.
@@KloudTooLoudi totally agree! He can do almost all the phases on both sides of the ball at an elite level.
Top 3 offensive player but not top 3 of all time overall cuz he join GS so kind of hurts his legacy
great channel jj great seeing you do this
Thanks Jrue. We love you in Milwaukee!
KD is the best period….
Hands down
Jrue is so well spoken, and really got his thoughts across well, thanks for this interview 🙏
Much Gratitude
Who gives this first hand account of NBA basketball a thumbs down??? Must not like the game! Great video! Congrats Jrue!
Good think jrue didn’t answer that😂 they tried to set him up
JJ you need to go to BK and come out when Joe just goes cold to help BK win! KD is mind Penetrating is So true! That series was Unbelievable and Jordan-esque and Iverson-esque!!!
"I play in pratice like its a game, and the game like its a pratice" KD
Jrue really said KD was "mentally penetrating" ahahahahah lmao
Seconds away from saying KD then thought twice about it
He knows it's KD. He just didn't wanna hurt his teammate lol
I’m sure Giannis doesn’t even care, he probably thinks the same of KD but gotta watch what you say cause media will twist anything t for clicks
@@Ben2bwild do you think Giannis cares?
@@truethat15 How am I supposed to know if Giannis cares? 🤔
Even Giannis said KD's the best player in the league man Giannis dont care...if anything he would agree with him..(Giannis the best tho🤫)
Don't leave out Harden , people forget how good harden was playing before his injury even in the playoffs, he was dam near about to win mvp despite his departure from Houston and playing like the best player in the league , even in the playoff dudes last game against the Celtics he was about to start going on a tear with that 40 point game. I feel like because he doesn't have a ring yet ppl sleep on how good he is , imo he right there with lebron and kd , I'd give it to kd going into next season though.
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."

Durant is an anomaly. What a unit! Hes the Thanos of the league hahahah
“Mentally penetrating…and he didn’t stop…and physically I was hurt“ -Jrue Holiday 2021
Jrue’s out here fangirling and I’m all for it
Jrue- I loved the trade for you as a bucks fan but my fear was that you’d walk after the year. But when you resigned then I knew you wanted to be part of the family. The good news is you will always be viewed as success. Brooks block, your steal, and Giannis’s block are the three biggest defensive plays in a playoff run I’ve ever seen. Congrats for all your hard work.
I can't say who's the best... STOP IT DREW, just by his words describing KD you can tell that he wants to say KD!!! Just doesn't want to hurt giannis feelings lol.
they are never gonna say giannis is better than kd because kd is so complete in his scoring abilities but we have to admit giannis is the best two way player in the game his defence is on point
Khawhi is the best 2 way , I Rather You Say Giannis Is The Most Dominant In The League
That air ball was so straight-on. Fatigue saved the Bucks.
Going toe to toe with greatness is tough
When KD is locked in on defense, he’s the best player.
He's the best Ever
KD is the PUREST scorer ever!!!
MJ the GREATEST bucket getter ever!!!!!
Fun fact, Lebron James has more scored points than both of them.

JJ couldn’t stop laughing cause he knew what Jrue meant 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jrue is in a great place right now
Jrue balled out this finals
I want JJ to get a ring 💯
The only player I'd ever say was on kds level of unicorn level scoring was T-Mac. Unfortunate for injuries 😪
Jrue's words about this series actually support the narrative a lot of people had going into it. Bucks Vs Nets was basically the Finals. Whoever won that was gonna go on to win it all.

KD is amazing, top 5 of all time for sure
Wtfff All time ?😂😂😂 bruh y’all wild

“that long big toe was on the line” cmon man🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even if you push KD away and say no, he still gonna penetrate 🤓😁
L
KD is the best score of all time and easily the best offensive player in the NBA right now. However, Giannis is the best all-round player just because of how dominant he is on both sides of the floor. I think they’re about the same level
If that was the case jrue would of just said giannis lol. He didn’t wanna disrespect him and was about to say kd. Kd thoughhhh
maybe the most skilled player of all time but hes not the best scorer oat
He is the most versatile scorer,except he doesn't go for the hook(Booker and Kawhi have also elite 3 levels game).Lebron is the most versatile offensive player,he is very good 3 levels scorer and also elite playmaker.
The bucks vs nets series was the best series in the 2021 playoffs
What if someday Jrue & Durant in one team this is great! 😁😊
KD is a better scorer BUT Giannis is the better defender,the better rebounder,the better passer and even though he is not as good of a scorer as KD he can give you 30 EVERY night easily.So i m gonna go with Giannis but its not a clear answer like it was the previous year when it was Lebron and then the rest of the guys you can make an argument for both Giannis and KD and make valid points
Lebron hasn’t been the best in years , how I know you was a Bron fan when you said giannis ?? 😂 anything to not give kd credit lmao but giannis isn’t really a good on ball defender if you actually watch him… kd constantly can switch out on guards and clamp them and also guard bigs and protect the rim… giannis might have better stats defensively but you put someone in a box and make them have to pass the ball doesn’t show up on the stat sheet so watch the game… kd has no weakness in his game and is clearly the best player in the league 😂
@@khalidmoore1735 bruh i m not a Lebron fan i hate superteams Giannis is my favourite player.You are hating on Giannis and i actually watch the games.Propably you didnt watch the games because if you watched the defense he played on switches against Booker and Paul and you are saying he is not a good on ball defender you trippin.Also Giannis is a much better team defender and way more consistent than KD and hes also one of the best rebounders in the league.Its not even a debate who the better defender is tbh its not even close.
Ayo Jrue relax 😂😂😂😂
I respect his answer because he knows it's KD....Harden, Dame the western conference has always been a beast......he really didn't want to disrespectful to anyone
