These are just his strips, blocks, and steals. Imagine how long the vid would be if it had all the times he just straight up stayed in front of someone and forced a bad shot or pass.
Iguodala and Jrue must have been in the lab just perfecting the art of defense in Philly. Coincidentally, both are my favorite defenders and players in the league.
when you are a guard who defends every night successfully over the best forwards in the league who are taller and bigger than you, so yes you are a defensive monster
There's a reason why he is my favorite player. People say he's trash yet he does this kind of stuff AND provides good offense. I hope the next coach gives him a bigger role. He's called the forgotten all star for a reason.
@@folkscrazyouthere3076 To be fair ppl be saying any player is trash. People call Lebron trash. But yeah, nobody that actually loves basketball is calling Jrue trash
Yeah he's not trash cause he can definitely score especially when he gets in the paint but I don't agree with him having a bigger role on a team with Ingram and Zion. He should not be your number one option on offense unless he has to be. When the Pelicans were playing really good he looked very comfortable playing off everyone else and not forcing things on his own. I think using him the same way next season will help everyone and will also allow him to focus more on defense instead of forcing him to do everything like Alvin did in the beginning of the season where he looked bad. The next head coach should definitely make everyone's role really clear.
As a Sixers fan, the more I watch Jrue, the more I miss having him on the team. It’s gonna be a pain in the butt now that he’s back in the East on the Bucks.
Jrue’s best attribute is his ability to not get moved off his spot easily which allows him to use his long reach to get deflections. It’s like he has a sense for knowing his range and when he can/can’t swipe at the ball. The key is his lower body strength and core are other worldly for someone his size. When have you ever seen LeBron get stood up on the first bump by a guard when he posts up? Never. Their legs are the same damn size lmao.
This man is so smooth with such good size at 6’5 , subtle quickness , good strength quick hands great iq, sure does look like the best on ball defender at guard position
I knew he was a good defender, but I didn’t know he was _this_ good. I don’t even know who to compare to, I’ve never seen defense like his - it’s beautiful to watch.
A smaller kawhi on defense with great hands n similar strong stocky build ,athletic but strong stiff wich helps a ton on defense holding there ground n stayin infront of the ball n picks the perfect time to poke the ball right out 💪🔥
the way he play the passing lanes is incredible he don't over shadow the guy going to receive the pass instead he stays in his reach while not losing his man.
I trust him to lock up the best perimeter player on the other team. Bro is a 6’4 point guard weighing probably 215 at most playing great defense on LeBron. He played great defense on KD two years ago. I trust him to guard the bigger players and only being a point guard. So slept on as a defender. Very smart and very great defender at his height and weight class
I got you bro. He's the best defender in the game, period. It's a shame that he never won the DPOY. at least he's in first team defense. He's the only one that has locked up Harden, Paul Georges. Facts
Chris Paul, Jrue Holiday, John Wall, Kris Dunn and Marcus Smart are so strong for there size they can defend any body smaller or bigger then them they know how to defend
best defender at the guard position. passes the eyetest. doesnt flop like marcus smart, and is much more diciplined on his reach ins compared to patrick beverley
Jrue has to be one of the smartest basketballers on the planet. Top 2% on defense, top 20% on offense. I love when bigs get a "mismatch" on him in the high or low post. I imagine Jrue licking his lips, especially on stiffs like Gallinari and Porzingis. It is the epitome of: "GIMME THAT!"
4:39 shows a sequence that highlights perhaps the most valuable perimeter defense skills i the entire nba. Not only does he completely dodge the screen to force the ballhandler back to his weak hand but then he completely didges the screen again from the back side to recover and uses his length/quickness to block the jump shot. This defensive impact is only surpassed by the leagues best rim protectors.
I know you uploaded this a while ago but just wanted to say I appreciate the consistent effort on these defensive highlights, especially the lesser known guys like Kris Dunn and Mikal Bridges. Wish I had the determination to do this kind of stuff like you.
Really appreciative of these jrue holiday highlights... Could you you his offensive highlights as well.... Like I said really appreciate the defensive highlights
Appreciate the love, man. I'm gonna start sneaking in some offensive highlights. Dk if I'm gonna get to ur guy. Added it to my list tho. We'll see what happens.
I know positions dnt rly matter as much anymore but he was playing sf a lot around this time, like in that clip for example, n i think on paper that rly shows defensive versatility
Maybe if more commentators would put more effort in highlighting defensive plays, common nba watchers would appreciate the skill and effort it takes to be as good at it and players like Jrue would be more recognised for their ability
Pelicans got some killer guards , Lonzo to pass and even play D , Jrue Holiday to play lockdown defense , and JJ Redick to play off ball and shoot some 3’s
On my list of "Defensive guards" Jrue and Marcus Smart are currently the two at the top, and it's really close tho Smart has a very slight edge due to him being slightly craftier. (not taking anything away from Jrue, who plays a more methodical style of defense) Before any of you guys argue for Ben Simmons, I do have him on my list, but I have him listed as a wing defender.
With limited options, bucks should do the best to bring in this guy. Trade anything except for Giannis, Middleton, Wesley, Hill and Lopez to get Jrue and Bogdanovic.
Love ur vids!!!! But it would be better to include not only steals or blocks, but add more plays which the player forces a miss, especially facing mismatches
God bless Jrue man!!!! Milwaukee Bucks champions 2021 only with help of God!!! History made only with help of God!!! We gonna do it again only with help of God!!!! Praised be Jesus Christ!!!
I’m here after watching Dame say Dru is best defensive guard on podcast.
Facts. I saw that and instantly had respect for dame
@Wes Yep and I also saw the newest episode with Kevin durant, he also said the same
after marcus smart
Me too😁
Dame has a great defense on Westbrook vs the rockets too
These are just his strips, blocks, and steals. Imagine how long the vid would be if it had all the times he just straight up stayed in front of someone and forced a bad shot or pass.
its like the man reads how they gonna dribble and his timing his reach is so precise
Iguodala and Jrue must have been in the lab just perfecting the art of defense in Philly. Coincidentally, both are my favorite defenders and players in the league.
Big facts in Iggy's prime he was the best wing defender (with Kawhi) and Jrue right now is the best guard defender.
Always image they back to sixers tgt(I'm as Sixers fans), but it seems like impossible, maybe heat will want jrue
Coincidentally I hope the Warriors land Jrue too. Trade the #2 pick for him. He can fill the Iggy role.
@@giorgijojua1690 brooklyn are gonna get him kd wants him
@@giorgijojua1690 he should go to the Clippers to win a ring and make history
when you are a guard who defends every night successfully over the best forwards in the league who are taller and bigger than you, so yes you are a defensive monster
Thank you Mr Jrue the glue
He looks like he knows what the offensive player is going to do before he does it. He's so in control
There's a reason why he is my favorite player. People say he's trash yet he does this kind of stuff AND provides good offense. I hope the next coach gives him a bigger role. He's called the forgotten all star for a reason.
Fr
Niggas dont say he's trash yall do this to much
@@folkscrazyouthere3076 To be fair ppl be saying any player is trash. People call Lebron trash. But yeah, nobody that actually loves basketball is calling Jrue trash
I've never heard anyone calls him trash tho

Arguably the best defensive guard in the game! Loved Jrues game. Been slept on way too long.
Jure is literally the missing piece for ANY team that’s one player away...ZERO Cap!🔥✊🏽
Miami Heat JimmyxJrue
the Clippers
Lakers
Heat nation
@@smoothoperator1862 Lakers already have the big pieces in order, they just need to resign their players and hope they don't age too much
As a Sixers fan, the more I watch Jrue, the more I miss having him on the team. It’s gonna be a pain in the butt now that he’s back in the East on the Bucks.
That steal at 3:00 is God tier
It's the Kawhi no look turnaround steal
that kind of commitment for that steal is not present among majority of players in the nba

Yeah man, dudes strong af
Just phenomenal...the recovery, pick dodging, quick hands, quick feet, instinct. All are phenomenal.
Vertical and many more
It’s wierd it’s like he’s running plays on defense 😂😂😂
I swear it’s formulated so precise 😂
He’s probably pound for pound the best defender in the league. Definitely the best guard defender in the league tho imo
This man is so smooth with such good size at 6’5 , subtle quickness , good strength quick hands great iq, sure does look like the best on ball defender at guard position
My favorite player ever. An absolute monster on defense. Great video, well done.
Im here after Jrue Won the Championship.
The bucks was missing that Jrue Special to get them the championship.
Ngga was PGs prison guard LMAO😂😂
💀
💀💀💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🗣🗣🗣 Dead
Lmaooooo
💀💀💀
A. FANTASTIC. DEFENDER.
Best
Jrue Holiday is the only guy in the league that makes me want to play defense.
Jrue moves his feet on defense better than anybody I’ve ever seen. He mirrors the ball handler perfectly
Phenomenal instics and footwork
I hope bucks notice that man and made a move for him
This guy is the kee to win an championship. Hes such better player than Bledsoe
I agree
Lmao u see the future?
Some GMs burner account
W
Right on the money!
Now tell me the winning powerball numbers for next week...
Keen eyes, active hands, monster strength and brilliant defensive vision 👏👏
I knew he was a good defender, but I didn’t know he was _this_ good. I don’t even know who to compare to, I’ve never seen defense like his - it’s beautiful to watch.
Gary Payton?
A smaller kawhi on defense with great hands n similar strong stocky build ,athletic but strong stiff wich helps a ton on defense holding there ground n stayin infront of the ball n picks the perfect time to poke the ball right out 💪🔥
This dude been amazing and still slept on. Maddening.
the way he play the passing lanes is incredible he don't over shadow the guy going to receive the pass instead he stays in his reach while not losing his man.

Bro that’s facts frfr they be sleeping on Jrue frfr it’s sad
even KD on JJ’s podcast said Jrue is the best defensive guard
This is the best channel by far
That steal at 3:01 is crazy that boy must live in the film room
its so effortless, he just knows what they are doing and rips it apart
Strong legs. That's the secret to all notable perimeter defenders.
Man,tbh would be a huge honor be guarded by this guy,I would learn a lot,cause this man really know what he is doing
They been sleeping on Jrue
Jrue a DAWG
Here because he got robbed for First All-Defensive & Second
Man he got robbed every year
Not trying to be mean but I think Marcus Smart is a better defender
Cyphenz dead jrue holiday better defender and he can kill people bigger than him
Cyphenz smart is better all around but holiday is a way better defender
Blake jrue is better than smart in every way. Smart never avg 20 pts a game at least
Finally 🙌🙏
Thanks man! Hope there will be a part 2!!!
Great anticipation and instincts, always poking at the ball when you least expect it
Great defence 👍💯
I'd rather watch good defense than flashy offense any day. Jrue is my favorite
He really is one of the best defenders in league
I’ve been sleeping on Jrue. I had no idea he was this good
Chris Paul, Jrue Holiday, John Wall, Kris Dunn and Marcus Smart are so strong for there size they can defend any body smaller or bigger then them they know how to defend
hes so effortless, its so smooth.
Holiday is a very smart player, high IQ defense and he is very strong, can stop F and C in the paint. Undervalued
best defender at the guard position. passes the eyetest. doesnt flop like marcus smart, and is much more diciplined on his reach ins compared to patrick beverley
Gary Payton and him for me are the best defenders of all time
Who’s here after he just got traded to the bucks
Me.. but im a Pels fan.. will miss Jrue a lot
@@misterkumquat7911 you got plenty back for him, enjoy the picks
@@BasketballHighway19 Yeh but Jrue is a New Orleans legend. 😔 8 years here. He'll forever be one of my favorites
@@misterkumquat7911 it must be a good feeling to know that one of your favorites is now an nba champion
@@BasketballHighway19 yes, im proud of Jrue immensely!
Great post and perimeter defender. Most players only can do 1 or the other nowadays
Welcome to Milwaukee!!!
I wanted the Lakers to go and get this dude.. he’s pure class man. Got so much respect for Jrue
Lakers need this guy
I know positions dnt matter as much anymore but he was playing sf a lot around this time n i think on paper that rly shows defensive versatility
Redick podcast brought me. But without instant replays in games, its never gonna be seen as widespread
Jrue holiday is a beast on Defense
Jrue has to be one of the smartest basketballers on the planet. Top 2% on defense, top 20% on offense. I love when bigs get a "mismatch" on him in the high or low post. I imagine Jrue licking his lips, especially on stiffs like Gallinari and Porzingis. It is the epitome of: "GIMME THAT!"

Whos here after finding out hes joining the bucks?
So overlooked
I know you uploaded this a while ago but just wanted to say I appreciate the consistent effort on these defensive highlights, especially the lesser known guys like Kris Dunn and Mikal Bridges. Wish I had the determination to do this kind of stuff like you.
He got hands like a boxer.
Really appreciative of these jrue holiday highlights... Could you you his offensive highlights as well.... Like I said really appreciate the defensive highlights
Appreciate the love, man. I'm gonna start sneaking in some offensive highlights. Dk if I'm gonna get to ur guy. Added it to my list tho. We'll see what happens.
If Jrue Holiday go to the Lakers... it’s over
Been saying this
He has full package, perimeter defense, post defense, off ball awareness
Buddy strong asf
Dude locks up every elite pg except for Kyrie
am out here wondering how he is getting all this strips
Facts - he strips you on the gather, but I don’t know how the hell he does it on the drive.
Good stuff once again! Would it be possible if you could do a defensive reel on Royce O’Neal next?
hes so patient
Here because he will be playing for Milwaukee next season.
Jrue really clamped LeBron in the post at 7:40 he’s 4 inches shorter and 50 pounds lighter that’s inane defence
I know positions dnt rly matter as much anymore but he was playing sf a lot around this time, like in that clip for example, n i think on paper that rly shows defensive versatility
Jrue always been cold since 76ers days they sleep on him 🤷🏽♂️
His timing is nuts
If the Pelicans can JUST ONE SEASON! Zion, everyone healthy, I think he and Lonzo could be the best defensive back court ever.
Bucks was the team that can compliment his defense
so good
bruh it looks like he's not even trying lmao he seems so chill
fr it looks so effortless for him
Ill say it again, put kawhi with jrue holiday in LA and its a better fit than with george. Jrue is legit both ways and dependable in the post season
Just became my favorite player
Welcome to Milwaukee homie have fun with giannis n Middleton 😀
Maybe if more commentators would put more effort in highlighting defensive plays, common nba watchers would appreciate the skill and effort it takes to be as good at it and players like Jrue would be more recognised for their ability
he STRONG
Jrue Holiday the best Defensive player of the Year Hands down.. What is the NBA🕵 looking at🤷🤣
Pelicans got some killer guards , Lonzo to pass and even play D , Jrue Holiday to play lockdown defense , and JJ Redick to play off ball and shoot some 3’s
On my list of "Defensive guards" Jrue and Marcus Smart are currently the two at the top, and it's really close tho Smart has a very slight edge due to him being slightly craftier. (not taking anything away from Jrue, who plays a more methodical style of defense)
Before any of you guys argue for Ben Simmons, I do have him on my list, but I have him listed as a wing defender.
Him going to the Nets would be perfect
I think the game is in slow motion for him
With limited options, bucks should do the best to bring in this guy. Trade anything except for Giannis, Middleton, Wesley, Hill and Lopez to get Jrue and Bogdanovic.
Holy crap dude
Love ur vids!!!! But it would be better to include not only steals or blocks, but add more plays which the player forces a miss, especially facing mismatches
I don't see you doing it
Welcome to Milwaukee
3:00 holy shit that was some quick reflexes
Can you do JJ Redick defensive highlights?
God bless Jrue man!!!! Milwaukee Bucks champions 2021 only with help of God!!! History made only with help of God!!! We gonna do it again only with help of God!!!! Praised be Jesus Christ!!!
Lonzo next???
This guy made the All Defensive team from half season bruh
Jrue got 500 defense IQ, no need to dirty the jersey when you play with the mind as much as you play with heart
Next time NBA leave out Jrue I’m suing the NBA for negligence
imagine jrue was like 6’5 / 6’6 he would be unbeatable
Welcome to milwauke jrue
Welcome to the Bucks
