Kyle Lowry - Defensive Dynamo 18/19 (Charge Drawing Champion)

- Kyle Lowry. NBA CHAMPION. 2016 All-NBA Third Team. 5x NBA All-Star. 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist (USA Basketball in Rio). Arguably THE greatest Toronto Raptor in the history of the franchise. Kyle Lowry was the first Raptor to hold the Larry O’Brien trophy. He hold it over his head, and one of the first things to notice is that his thumb is still heavily wrapped. He finished atop the leaderboard in playoff charges drawn with 16. He has more than the next two players on the list combined (Draymond Green had 8, Damian Lillard finished with 7). He was also #1 in the playoffs in loose ball recovered with 45. Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard finished second with 38. Steph Curry (36), Andre Iguodala (35), Draymond Green (30), round out the top 5. He finished third in overall playoff deflections, behind two former Defensive Player of the Year winners (65, compared to Kawhi’s 72 and Draymond’s 68). What I’m trying to say is that while he largely dictated the pace of the Finals (video on that later), he also REPEATEDLY put his body on the line in order to make winning plays.
The point of this video is simply that it’s a celebration of some of what Kyle does best: sacrificing for the team, and using his smarts, timing, and complete lack of fear to force the issue. He’s all of 6’1” and played much of the playoffs injured, but he still put his battered body in front of the basket, between guys like Joel Embiid, Draymond Green, Ben Simmons, DeMarcus Cousins, Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon, Klay Thompson. Bigger and stronger guys coming with a full head of steam. “You pay for it later. At the moment, as long as you win the game, it’s all worth it. Whatever you have to do to win the basketball game, your body, just throw it out there and whatever happens, happens.”
Lowry spent two years at Villanova University. Three years with the Memphis Grizzlies. Four years with the Houston Rockets. He was a journeyman and a back up point guard. He was looked at as a bad influence in Memphis, a negative in the locker room. Then he found like with Rick Adelman in Houston, but once Kevin McHale came in, that was the beginning of the end of his time in Texas. After seven years in Toronto, he stands as an NBA champion. He was pushed along the way. The story goes that guys like Chauncey Billups and Tyronn Lue helped give him guidance. Along with DeMar DeRozan, they decided to STEP UP and take ownership of Canada’s only team. Six years they spent succeeding during the season. Six years they spent languishing in the playoffs. The first season, they fought the Kevin Garnett, Paul “That’s Why They Brought Me Here” Pierce and the Brooklyn Nets to seven games. After that, they were treated (fairly or not) as the butt of many jokes. Swept by Washington in the first round. Then went a combined 2-12 against LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers in the coming years. Throughout it all, Kyle continued to lead. Kyle continued to push, to fight, to struggle. To put in the type of defensive effort and intensity reserved for the games biggest stages. Persistence pays.

raptors ball movement/ defensive video pls
Just checked that and it looks super awesome !
Didnt know that you had a blog its so nice to go more in depth analysis with blog articles like the idea keep goin man !
Greetings from Turkey
Great stuff! Keep it up, man!
Enjoyed this vid! Do you mind making a Devin Booker vid?
I checked it out good shit
People just don’t understand how much value he brings to the team. Led the playoffs in charges and most loose balls recovered in the playoffs as well. Dare I say it, he is Draymond Green in a point guards body. Defending, passing, scoring, you name it and he’ll give his best shot at it
And a better scorer.
Come on man not draymond...
I’ll take intelligence and heart over skill and athleticism any day of the week. Kyle Lowry has an unparalleled compete level and a genius basketball IQ. Greatest Raptor of all time.
Vince Carter?
Tony Stark Kawhi?
@@rocketfatts7769 Kawhi brought them a title but Kawhi was only their for 1 year through a trade. Vince Carter will always be loved by raptors by every fan not every fan likes Kawhi.
@Andrew Sun I know raptors fans who don't like Kawhi leonard
@Andrew Sun im a raps fan but i dont like Kawhi. I liked DeRozan more
OMG, you don't know how long Ive been waiting for this, this man's defense epic af
Most underrated player in the league...
He gets way too much hate by people who don’t truly understand basketball.
In the past he has choked on big moments
Tony Stark do you even know what choking is or ya weak asses just go by whatever.. instead ya the only one doing the choking... choking on dixk
When I try to tell people "you can't post on Lowry" I will use this video for argument ammo thank you my guy
A C I’d recommend peeping the article I have pinned up there. I have a whole thing isolated about bigs posting him.
Lowry is a beast, most under rated player in the NBA
One of the most overhated as well.
@@noahamankwaah9802 for sure, lowry is a perfect pg no reason to hate on him, he's one of the shortest least athletic dudes in the nba yet he still gets it done, 5x all star, all nba third team, and nba champ, he should be one of the most loved players in the nba
@@slamvsgames Plus he's hella thicc 😂
@@noahamankwaah9802 for real, Kyle lowry should give hope to all the short fat people in the world lmao
That 18-19' Raptors is one of the best defensive team ever. Lowry, green, leonard, siakam, gasol, ibal, vanvleet. Elite defenders in every position
Reminder that Kyle Lowry has never made an All-Defense team. The media personalities that vote on those awards know nothing about actual basketball. They just read statlines and go with whatever everybody else says.
I agree with you some media members don't know anything about basketball (skip bayless). But in the past he has choked in to many playoff games.
Tony Stark 1) no he hasn’t 2) I’m talking about his defense
Ppl dont realize how good Kyle Lowry really is! This man is amazing honestly!
Undersized guards gotta watch how Lowry plays on defense. Footwork and having active hands is a huge part of his defensive game.
This video and description explains why he doesn't get benched even if he has 0 points. Game 1 of Orlando he shoots 0-7 for 0 points. But has 8 assists 7 rebounds and is +11 when basically entire roster was --. He is still an asset when he cant shoot, unlike DeRozan.
One of the best hustle players in the NBA
Can never be labeled a choker ever again, call him a Champion.
7:27 kawhi caught that like if He was wearing a baseball glove!!!!
1:25 Kyle says “get that shit outta here”
He's getting bumped by a driving man who is one foot taller and 50 lbs heavier than him. He's strong asf
Low center of gravity
Lowry underrated at everything
1:03 ❤❤❤❤
Love this! Only critique is that the different clips had vastly different volume levels, but if you could correct that, this would be a perfect highlight reel 🙂
Crazy hes never made an all defensive team
Even if Lowry has off nights in offense, he makes them up with his defense and drawing charges
Kyle is great. He doesn't get a lot credit from media.
GOAT PG
STOP
Nice
The general of defence K-Low.........He will steal that ball
Amazing work bro. Really Amazing.
Yo u should do a Fred vanvleet one too
Him and igudola strip the ball the best I've ever seen next to Jordan
The GROAT.😊
Do a kyrie Irving fantastic finisher
We need a Pascal Siakam Defensive dynamo for this season!
Are you thinking about making a Kawhi ‘boardman gets paid’ video?
Anyone can score but not everyone can be a defensive anchor.
Pls do kawhi leonard brute force playoffs. Best channel👍
finallyyyyyyyyy
1:29 🤣🤣
The first few defense u see is against embiid, and he strip him couple of times, wow.
Lol @ Ingram getting bodied by Lowry. That's what happens when you're 9 inches taller but 10 pounds lighter than the guy guarding you lmfao
1:03
Kemba walker next🤔
Wish OSN watch this video kekekeke
His a bandwagon hater..he know nothing
Most of these clips are of Lowry stealing from Embid.
Robbing him blind

Incredible clips! Would love to see more defensive highlights and I’m glad that you provide them. Do you take suggestions for video topics or players?
Yeah, been watching his clips for 2 years now. More support for his channel
I don't necessarily do request per se, but if it's in the cards, I'll do it. What do you have in mind?
Evin Gualberto none yet, but I’ll let you know when I think of a relevant one
I thought Ersan was the charge champion? Lol
I am saying it more like "hey, he's an NBA champion who draws charges."
@@EvinGualberto oh I know what you were going for lol. My post was kidding.
@@jeebs9 I thought that but fought my instincts and said something anyway. That's on me. My b.
