Donovan Mitchell yes but that’s not saying much... pg and Jimmy Butler are suppose to be premier defenders and I’ve never seen them take a guy completely out of the game like tony Allen,Kawhi,Ron Artest, Pat Beverley or Bruce Bowen. I think before his leg injury he’d be able to but his on ball d is kind of overrated.
Nestor Cruz all the guys I named play good all around defense... and you’d rather get steals then holding the most important player to bad shooting and minimal points? Look up young Brons record against Ron artest and his shooting %s before you answer.
@Joshua Johnson Yeah man but the thing is that when you watch Dame going 8/12 for 35+feet in the series you don't leave him any breathing space and you're closely guarding him.
Top 2 if not the best next to Kawhi, Kawhi hands claws just too much.. -.-, but Paul is more agile, if he gets healthier and a bit stronger, cause imo hes a bit small compared to pre injury, he will be just as good as Kawhi right now, cause Kawhi hands are dumb huge and hes stronger than PG right now which is imo makes him better. I'm saying this even though paul is my favourite player in the NBA after kobe left.
@@Yedorb kawhi is better but this season pg has taken a big step in his career. This past season he showed that he can be a bigtime player in this and he proved it. The best 2 way player this past season.
basketball is my life How? He is one of the best shot blockers in the league and can way better perimeter defender than gobert and Ad, The only thing gobert and Ad do is block shots
Blaze Santana He doesn’t even take James harden as his defensive assignment you realize that right? The times he was on harden he stole the ball away from him
CHANGE now it was good defense he shot it a little bit away from half court and it was off of a step back not a normal standing jumpshot it wasn’t a easy shot at all
That shot was deep as fuck , if he gonna Shoot it from that far then you gotta make it , but he made so that’s irrelevant, but if he pressed up Dame would of drove past him probably beat him off dribble got a closer contested shot or caused another defender to help , he played smart d , dame just hit a tough shot
@@Yedorb u idiot yes he is. I watch him every game and u probably only watched him in the playoffs. That one shot by dame from near half court doesn't make him a bad on ball defender
its amazing that he maintained elite defense and athleticism even after snapping his leg
Confidence too. I shattered my forearm at a younger age so it’s different, but my confidence at the time was gone. His recovery was amazing
He broke it on defense too. Made me never want to jump on defense after seeing it
Is PG13 a top 5 defender that's like asking if the sky is blue!
Donovan Mitchell yes but that’s not saying much... pg and Jimmy Butler are suppose to be premier defenders and I’ve never seen them take a guy completely out of the game like tony Allen,Kawhi,Ron Artest, Pat Beverley or Bruce Bowen. I think before his leg injury he’d be able to but his on ball d is kind of overrated.
JJ Edwards
Top 5 best defenders
Kawhi
PG
Draymond
Gobert
AD
Not in any order
@@jjedwards6685 I rather play really good defense and help out defensively than to focus on shutting down one player
________________________ Giannis?

Best defender in the NBA imo
His recovery speed, athleticism and instincts are about as good as you’ll find.
Ryan Wow best maybe the best off ball defender definitely not on ball
You’re a casual NBA fan for sure.
Joel Embiid I can assure you I’m not a casual fan lmao Who do you think is the best defender in the league?
Ryan Wow Giannis Antetokounmpo
Paul George is no where as good as Giannis on the defense end. And that’s fact
Why are all defensive highlights blocks and steals , his on-ball defense is just as good but there’s barely any videos on his on-ball defense
Barely any videos of on ball defense period lol I feel like to a lot of people that's as bad as free throw highlights
@colin Evans that’s a fact , seeing lockdown defense is just as fun as watching offensive highlights
@@gawayneminott6297 Fr those the same people who think harden's 2 steals a game means a good defender
@chupacabra :D FUNDAMENTALS
HE IS NOT A LOCKDOWN DEFENDER IVE BEEN SAYING THIS
I've always been a fan PG 13 especially on defense!
me too! i always appreciate players playing impressively on both sides of the court
They should have played the clip where khawi makes a face a PGs defense while he's posting him up
He's probably a top 5 player in the nba
Aharon Skurnik top 9*
W
Aharon Skurnik Top 7
Top 10
1. Bron
2. Kawhi
3. KD
4. Harden
5. AD
6. Curry
7. Giannis
8. PG
9. Lillard
10. Kyrie or Embiid
@@hanadhussein that's actually a solid list. Nice!
PG told Donovan Mitchell to declare for the draft just so he could block him a bunch of times
I’m sensing a resurgence from George this next year after all the hate in the bubble, he’s about to bring the 🥓 like Carl Jr’s
He is smooth on both ends of the floor
Those blocks during pacers days are gold
Well he did finish top 3 in dpoy voting, this shouldn't be a question
UltimateSSjin I’ve never seen Paul George put clamps on somebody in the playoffs
Blaze Santana
2018-2019 Playoff PG13
On court Net Rtg +1.7
Off court Net Rtg -46.1
It shows how good his defense is
Cause he was injured in the playoffs, did yall forgot
@Joshua Johnson Yeah man but the thing is that when you watch Dame going 8/12 for 35+feet in the series you don't leave him any breathing space and you're closely guarding him.
@2:10 , George did it before Kawhi💯
Pippen did it before george🤔
it was on jimmy too
Kawhi
PG13
Gobert
AD
Jrue Holiday
Don't @ me
Holiday is a great defender.But Andre Roberson and Draymond,Klay over him.
Jan Millen Serna where’s Pat Beverley
@@therealaidanrvlogs1599 Beverley's defense is overrated.He is good and love him tho.
Jan Millen Serna Giannis is better than Ad and true
マイクタイソン Iggy, Embiid, Horford
Should've won DPOTY this past season
change rhat profile pic
He got hurt..
Nah for some reason I had Giannis winning cause he had both steals and blocks.
Monkì IOS but pg on ball defense was way better and he was the leader in steal last season
not anyone in nba that is lethal scorer and a very tenacious defender than paul george
Bird is the word Kawhi Leonard *cough *cough
but george is the better scorer
and also the number of steals shows how good is he
As a Thunder and Paul George fan, I am gonna miss this.....
As a Thunder fan, i'm looking for a new team to root for thanks to the fantastic eff-up that killed my favorite squad.
Top 2 if not the best next to Kawhi, Kawhi hands claws just too much.. -.-, but Paul is more agile, if he gets healthier and a bit stronger, cause imo hes a bit small compared to pre injury, he will be just as good as Kawhi right now, cause Kawhi hands are dumb huge and hes stronger than PG right now which is imo makes him better. I'm saying this even though paul is my favourite player in the NBA after kobe left.
Why?
He said it himself he had to lose weight to play faster since the West is loaded with teams who can run & gun.
U cant ask that question and play a highlight reel like this u answering ur own question
PG and Kawhi teaming up now thats a fortress
Great player 💪🏽
Such Solid Defense⛓
Nice video!! 🔥
Yes of course
Nice vid
i like everything about the clippers exept that it is the clippers
Number 1 or Number 2. He was robbed of DPOY 🤷🏽♂️
Under The Influence Nate no he wasn’t. Giannis had better stats and has great post and perimeter defense. PG only has great perimeter defense
xcarr33 PGOKC13 Giannis didn’t win dpoy
Bluegill 013 neither did Paul George 🤷♂️
George is the best 2 way player in the league and a by far best defender.
Kawhi is but PG is a close 2nd
dbritton89 kawhi?
Kawhi doesn't always guard the best player. George does for the entire game no matter who.
@InVictus Gaming grew
dbritton89 Kawhi guards and locks up the best player when it matters... Bron, Conley, KD, Steph it doesn’t matter. Dame TORCHED PG!
He's BEEN a top 3 defender.
Is this even a question
That's what I'm saying!!!
Yeah cause he’s never clamped anybody I don’t think he’s top 5
For a whole game
@@blazesantana1209 you've definitely missed the last 2 Rockets/Thunder matchups lol
@@blazesantana1209 He clamped Harden in both of those games
Perfect
He can legit guard 5 positions off the switch, how is this even a question? lol
Top 3! PG is arguably the best defender in the league.
Mike Leonard kawhi is way better than PG but top 2 is arguable
@@Yedorb kawhi is better but this season pg has taken a big step in his career. This past season he showed that he can be a bigtime player in this and he proved it. The best 2 way player this past season.
W
Mike Leonard you obviously have never seen kawhi play just watch next year when they both are on the floor and see who’s better
@@Yedorb I'm a kawhi fan tbh but this year pg is the better player but we gon' see who the better player.
Blocks and steals isn’t the only defense
Will Stacks he’s a great on-ball defender as well. They just didn’t show any clips of it.
Mind you this man came from a leg injury.
Draymond, Embiid, Gobert, Kawhi and Paul George probably.
You're leaving Giannis and Beverley off the list though but I admit it's hard making that list of top 5 defenders.
Nice ! Where do you rate Avery Bradley ? Jrue Holiday ?
makis papachristou Beverly is not even top 10. One of the absolute most important factors is versatility on defense which Beverly just doesn’t have
Andre Roberson is a better defender than all of them except Kawhi
More defense videos
Of course he is
I think you answered your own question lol
PG is good at stopping enemy’s attack but Klaw don’t even let a chance to start the attack
Indiana PG is still the dopest.
Gobert, Kawhi, PG, AD Giannis top 5
basketball is my life How? He is one of the best shot blockers in the league and can way better perimeter defender than gobert and Ad, The only thing gobert and Ad do is block shots
@@kobeforever-hokage5471 AD can definitely guard the perimeter. gobert obvioisly not much
Paul George best defender
Most definitely
His defensive metrics on advanced stats actually make him appear to be slightly above average
Michelle getting Bullied Lol
He’s a great off ball defender he’s not a lock down defender
Ask James Harden about PG
WM13EDIT Official he gave pg 39 41 and 42
Blaze Santana On what percentages? How many attempts? How many turnovers? Does it matter tho because that’s against the whole team no?
AlphaShark excuses. Getting clamped means no 40 points by any means
Blaze Santana He doesn’t even take James harden as his defensive assignment you realize that right? The times he was on harden he stole the ball away from him
凄いDFだけどこれだけ見ただけでも肩を壊すのが分かるなぁ、
No ...cause sometimes he is lazy to defensive...remember how he defended the shot of Damian lillard and giving a reason of bad shot
CHANGE now it was a tough shot he played good defense
@@luishuncho2054 what good defense ..are you blind? He didn't even contested it properly
CHANGE now it was good defense he shot it a little bit away from half court and it was off of a step back not a normal standing jumpshot it wasn’t a easy shot at all
@@changenow9228 Dame pulled up from like 40 feet, with a tied score
That shot was deep as fuck , if he gonna Shoot it from that far then you gotta make it , but he made so that’s irrelevant, but if he pressed up Dame would of drove past him probably beat him off dribble got a closer contested shot or caused another defender to help , he played smart d , dame just hit a tough shot
Rudy Kawhi Pg is the top 3
Rudy as in RUdy Gay?
@@CWJ0725 Hell naw😭 Rudy gobert
The answer to the title of the video is yes
Yes I will
Kawhi
Gobert
Green
Embiid
Antetokounmpo
(Not in order)
Peter Smith green not better than pg
Pg just a better scorer
L
Nav Saimbi I put into playoffs and regular season not just a regular season
@@peterjo5215 gannis in the playoffs clamped up who
Robbed for dpoy
What kind of a fucking question is that? He s top 2
they shoulda showed the clip where he used his defense in the closing seconds in game 5 against dame. that was GREAT defense ;(
It was a good defense. Better O by dame. So stop the hate. I bet you cant even defend your life when challenge
Where are his defensive highlights of the 2019 playoffs? Specifically, game 5?
Scary
TOP 5 Def-Players
George, Holiday, Gobert, Leonard, D. Green
Jakub Rathouský I agree 👍🏾
Damian Lillard doesnt think he is.
This much people agree that Paul George is a top 10 best player in the nba
👇🏽
Will Stacks 1 person lmao, there’s only 1 like
Yes
My top 5 defenders
Draymond green
Kawhi Leonard
Anthony Davis
Rudy Golbert
Bam Adebayo*, LeBron James*
PG is in my top 10
Is EA sports in the game?
More like top 5 🐍
Is this even a question?
A majority of these highlights are showing his help defense. This guy's done. Won't win shit with the clippers!
No
yea but not when it mattered in the playoffs against dames shot..
Sibal he is human?
PG is a good defender but he’s no match for Kawai LMAOO
Top 5 defender in the NBA? Yes. Top 5 defender of all time? HELL No.
Ask Damian Lillard
Ok
Obv
Cant gaurd lebron tho....
Easy Mon3y do you really think anyone could guard lebron tho that’s plays today? Maybe slow him down but never stop him
He can guard LeBron better than LeNodefense can guard him lol

Tony B Paul George isn’t THAT good at on ball defense just look at last year against Dame he’s above average
@@Yedorb u idiot yes he is. I watch him every game and u probably only watched him in the playoffs. That one shot by dame from near half court doesn't make him a bad on ball defender

Fukn duh 🙄

No shit

Yikes
First!!
He can literally guard anybody. He guards the opposite teams best player EVERY NIGHT.
No he is not lol
No Side In what galaxy is he not?
AD, Embiid, Gobert, Kawhi, Holiday,
JZL Paul George is an overrated on ball defender
Hell naw. He's top 10, but not top 5
I’ll let like top 6-7 slide but saying he’s a top 10 must be that u don’t like him or sum
@@SSJ3Obito I meant 6-7 but I rounded to top 10
Covington would be on the list if he wasn't injured. Very underrated player
CAN DEFEND ALL POSITION
Yes
No
