I'm a little late, but defense really has always been my favorite part of just about any sport. Good def just feels like the intensity is always cruising at 140 mph. When you see these great defenders hounding some of the best offensive players in the world, it just feels like the defender wants it more. They have that grit. I love it.
I’d love to see that as well but guards almost never win the award. Marcus Smart was the first guard since Gary Payton lol. My guess is it goes to Bridges or Rudy again
It’s crazy because I played against dort in his year at Arizona state.. he was a scorer(primarily a slasher). He’s now come into the league and has been a “3 & D” type player.. very special to watch
Gospel means good news! The bad news is we have all sinned and deserve the wrath to come. But Jesus the Messiah died for our sins, was buried, and then raised on the third day, according to the scriptures. He ascended into heaven and right now is seated at the Father's right hand. Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
@@wilsontv2806 first off it’s you’re, and second name the best perimeter defenders beside Jordan and pippen without google lil kid. You wasn’t even born when these so called “amazing” defenders was playing lmao
Glad they put in the one single stop Gobert got in the playoffs in this video, dude got torched.. but also love that these are all 1v1 lockdowns, not just help side blocks like most videos
Imo there's no better feeling in basketball than shutting your opponent down. Especially when you figure out their basic ass bag and it's over from there🤣
Marcus Smart is a good defender, but man, every time he dives for the ball, it seems reckless enough that I always cringe if the other player gonna get hurt. I think it's because he's always diving at their legs/ankles, which is dangerous. Not sure how you could put a rule that would allow a defender to "hussle" for the ball but mitigate risks of injury.
I’m completely agree, he dives way too aggressively straight into peoples legs. And I like Marcus Smart as a player, but it’s very dangerous. There are ways to dive for the ball with more awareness.
it wasn’t a 1on1 shutdown most times, kd is a scorer and the nets had no plays, literally jus get the ball to kd or kyrie and iso kd was looking to score not pass so when they flashed him with double it forced him to either pick up the ball or force a bad pass/shot they did a really good job shutting him down, they should be showing how kyrie got shut down 1on1 happened a lot that series against marcus smart
One of the most exciting defense videos I’ve seen in a while. This is the best part of basketball right here.
It's crazy how good defence can make a great shooter look so average in comparison

I get an unhealthy satisfaction in seeing people get absolutely Locked Down more than anything.

I love crossovers and dunks. But 1 on 1 iso defense is literally the best thing to watch

Not Only can Alvarado Play Defense , YES he can shoot 😂🇵🇷🔥
he said that but he really can’t fr 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@BreezoOfficial he’s a rookie gets going to get better
But that defense had CP3 seeing things.👀
@Luka Doncic then what happened the next series against the Mavs 🤡
I'm a big fan of Caruso and his defensive plays. I hope he's gonna win the DPOY this season.
I’d love to see that as well but guards almost never win the award. Marcus Smart was the first guard since Gary Payton lol. My guess is it goes to Bridges or Rudy again
As a Bulls fan, I co-sign this!
@@salaarakbar2534 Jarret Allen is someone who could make some noise as well
lol Smart barely deserved his DPOY (more of a career achievement award for him), voters aren’t gonna give it to another guard for a long time
@@tim.noonan right Smart in the finals was all flop and no defense for me this is the worst DPOY i have ever seen
Alvarado, Caruso, and Lou Dort locking they ass up, and I love it!😂
Any team and fan base in the league would love to have those players
It’s crazy because I played against dort in his year at Arizona state.. he was a scorer(primarily a slasher). He’s now come into the league and has been a “3 & D” type player.. very special to watch
Only because they aren’t taken serious lol
Alvarotten ain’t shit
No game 6 Jrue? That was one of the best defensive stops in playoffs history.
Everybody over 40: “There’s no defense in the NBA”
I love defense more than offense
Same
Easily

Without great offence there will be no great defense remember that. It's the Yin and Yang.
McGee pickpockets Luka and goes coast to coast for a dunk. That was impressive
What was actually hillarious is at 2:25 how Mitchell is smiling and enjoying himself and then his face changes when he gets stripped😂
He thought it was a jump ball or foul😂
Naw it was more like “damn, well at least it’s a jump ball” but then boom, that shi was goin the other way
"He looked like speed stick deodorant" Stacy King is hilarious
Jose Alvarado underrated defender this ERA 🔥🔥🔥
🤦♂️
Don’t think he’s underrated at this point everybody knows him as a great perimeter defender
McGee ripping Luka will always be crazy to me 😭
Travel tough
I enjoyed this more than any other type of highlights
Should've showed more of Andrew Wiggins locking up Tatum in the finals
Love him or hate him, Marcus Smart ain’t shy on defense 🍀
Just when it comes to the finals. 🤫
@@hansolo3498 He literally had Curry on a box everytime he was on him : 34% from the field , 25% from 3 on 148 possessions during the finals 🤫

@@hansolo3498 FACTS! Say it louder for the people in the back! Curry is the FMVP. Made smart look like a clown out there. Casuals stay mad.
@@Hatakekakashi6x smart is still an elite defender
We miss Gary Payton 😢
I was sad when he got traded but I'm glad he got paid. Went from 1.9M last year to almost 10 this year.
@@squirrelsgarden welp he's back
These plays got me hyped! 😤😤😤
No clip of Oladipo giving Brown and Tatum nightmares in the conference finals
This is gold for a defensive player like me.
Caruso locked up Morris then 2 hand snatched his last second shot to add more insult.
That's that emotional damage.😂
1:25 literal definition of getting clamped
This is a lockdown defense compilation should be🔥🔥
2:29 bruh donovan changes he's face for a second
I find the lack of bam adebayo (the leagues most versatile 1-on-1 defender) disturbing
Jesus Christ is King! ✝️
He’s not real 😂
amen
@@Zachery99Accoriding to zach reed jesus isnt real 😂
@@Zachery99you can argue about god, but jesus was definitely real
@@Kam-or6ey no?
1:45 Ja almost got thru on that second attempt! A real teaching moment for aggressive offense!
No Bam or Oladipo in this video is a crime but besides that great video
Gotta get a part 2 because how is there no OG, Giannis, or Bam in this video?
I came to the comments because I knew somehow they wouldnt put Bam in this video... Not even 1?
5:37 man curry legit blocked ja two times in a span of one second 😂
I Loooove this kind of defense.It makes me feel like basketball god
I just like watching defensive plays more than offensive
GPII, Jrue, Smart, Caruso they really damn 🔒 on “1on1” defense🥶🥶🥵
off night clips were dope
I watch this before every one of my basketball games now
I got a game today those clips are going to help me a lot.
I like these type of vids
6:50 YESSIR THAT BOY TREMONT WATERS REPPING THE 203
Perimeter defense in todays age, is WAYY more impressive than the past. You have to actually slide your feet instead of using your hands.
Yeah what your saying is bull, they didn’t just hand check they were amazing defenders. At least know what your talking about
@@wilsontv2806 first off it’s you’re, and second name the best perimeter defenders beside Jordan and pippen without google lil kid. You wasn’t even born when these so called “amazing” defenders was playing lmao
@@harrissr.615 not to mention you gonna say you watched them yet made that dumb claim that the defense now is better💀💀. Like please stop.
@@wilsontv2806 I’m waiting, name players who were elite perimeter defenders in the 80s and 90s. Come on young boy stop deflecting
@@harrissr.615 did I not just give a slew of players in my last comment. Why don’t you learn to read and pay attention 🤣🤣
More of this please!!!!!!!!!!!!
Underrated aspect of the game imo
Caruso's defense is a thing of beauty man. It's like Kawhi lockdown D.
And similar to Kawhi, AC doesnt showboat.. just gets the stop and hands the rock to the ref. Locking guys up in a very respectful manner 😂🗜
I’m from Queens. We love Jose ngl
Nothing gets me more excited then watching Anthony edwards lock down a star player
Defense is my favorite part of the game!
Whenever I defend like that. They keep calling it foul
I need a version of this video every year NBA. Get to work.
1:26 bro got snatch blocked from the 3pt line 😂
got absolutely stuffed
That shit is sooo humiliating.😂
9:03 I love the crowd's reaction. The were ready to celebrate a dunk and Gobert somehow recovered and sent that shit back.
I can't wait to see the bulls next year🤞hope everyone stays healthy
It’s kinda criminal not to have herb in this shii ! He played some of the best defense in the league all season . 💯
I love defensive highlights
Hard not to be a fan of Alvarado after a series like that.
gp2 should have more showtime in this video, bro clamped jokic
Casuals: "tHeY doN't pLaY defEnsE aNymOre" 🤡🤡
Alvarado is insane bro😈
Its more fun watching good defense.
Glad they put in the one single stop Gobert got in the playoffs in this video, dude got torched.. but also love that these are all 1v1 lockdowns, not just help side blocks like most videos

It'll make this league more less physical than it already is. It's either get out of the way or beat him on getting first on the floor.
If the other players hustled too and didn’t just reach down, they’d be good
Finally some defense clips
it is as enjoyable as the best offensive plays, if not more
Dray be slapping tf outta his opponents
As much as I love watching defenders touch earth, I also like watching players get locked up too
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. God bless you .
Defense is so fun to watchh
I'm surprised there weren't more Miami clips.
4:46 we not gonna talk about that travel😂😂😂
Still can't believe the lakers let Caruso walk..... even tho he literally said he WANTED to be on the lakers
Not Only can Alvarado Play Defense , YES he can SHOOT
U would think the nba makes enough money to not need 6 ads on a 10 minute video
Dope video.. but not one clip of Thybulle??
Crazy thay you didn't have anything from Matisse Thybulle locking down Steph Curry on here. Blocked him 2 or 3 times 1 on 1
1:33 he said Alex carusso look like speed stick deodorant 😭
INCREDIBLE!!!!!
WE NEED TO CELEBRATE DEFENSE MORE!!!!
Alvarado is a good player.
no he’s not 😂
@@BreezoOfficial You just outed yourself as a casual bro, watch more Pelican games.
Caruso and lonzo the best defensive duo when healthy
Mans said he look like Speed Stick deodorant 1:37 😂😂
Draymond is a defensive jurgernot pay that man 🔒💰
7:27 was some nifty trick lol
what all these have in common, the defender is not reacting- they're anticipating the offensive player's movement.
McGee defense 1v1 on Luka is insane to a center
Video should have more views
We will miss you Gary Payton
Wow, they didn’t include a single highlight of when the Celtics shut KD down. Hmmm..
it wasn’t a 1on1 shutdown most times, kd is a scorer and the nets had no plays, literally jus get the ball to kd or kyrie and iso kd was looking to score not pass so when they flashed him with double it forced him to either pick up the ball or force a bad pass/shot they did a really good job shutting him down, they should be showing how kyrie got shut down 1on1 happened a lot that series against marcus smart
Tre waters underrated
Why 360p
CP3 must hate Jose Alvarado 🤣
Alvarado reminds me of the heatle’s Norris Cole. If you know you know
The first one is great defense.
I just noticed this!
On the first clip: the shot clock started at 22 seconds before the ball was even inbounded! That was a 6 second violation! LOL
Draymond straight fouled him 😂😂
You were born in 2005 huh
@@thomascunning8248 you didn’t see him slap his leg? Or am I bugging

@@JustVertex859 It's the Finals they're always let you play a little more fair or not.
It's the finals, they let you play more physical.
Bruh Chris Paul literally just lost the ball on his own at the beginning
Crazy part is a lot of these plays have fouls, just well disguised
Yo, Let's go!!!!!!
Bro the fact that the lakers traded away caruso, McGee, and dwight still to this day surprise me
