1:06 📚 Awesome Defensive Tip: GH is overplaying #8's left side (strong ball side) this gives himself an opportunity to disrupt the pass before it reaches the post player's hand (he did it in the previous clip to Saric). What he actually ends up doing though is veteran NBA level defense. Not only does he occupy the strong ball side, but his positioning alone forces the Sun's guard to pass-fake & hesitate maybe 1-2 seconds longer than he normally would in passing the ball (This is key because every second matter during an offensive possession, time is literally wasting). He allows #8 to receive the entry pass and waits for #8 to make a move, he goes towards the baseline where there is obviously more room to operate, but the genius is, as soon as #8 puts the ball on the ground, GH *bumps* him towards the baseline (the baseline or out-of-bounds acts as a pseudo help defender). At this point, #8 knows the shot clock is winding down, and he doesn't want to step out of bounds. So, he attempts to shoot from an undesirable position and exposes the ball, and GH finishes the defensive possession by slightly stepping back and swiping down on the shot and gets the steal and forces a turnover. 💥
gary has been an all nba 2nd team defender this year for sure ...it would be criminal for him not to get it..hes been special on that end..offense on the other hand
with mpj scoring like he can man they don't need harris to score more..just keep playing d like he has been...this team has scoring they need a guy to just play defense

Glad to have him back tonight. We've definitely been missing his defense this series.
Finally G gets some recognition.

He doesn’t have the most active hands but his footwork and positioning is impeccable
He has strong hands so if he pokes a ball it’s coming out.
He's actually pretty strong period. It's barely a mismatch when bigs get him in the post. They try to buy him but it's not easy
They look pretty active in is this video
Such an underrated channel, thanks for all the defensive highlight videos! Harris is so good at sliding his feet
His got that HOF pick pocket and pick dodger
I can't wait to see G back in his old shooting form and his powerful going to the rim.

Is Gary Harris the best at blowing up DHOs? Definitely elite. Always leads to an easy 2.
We need him on the Sixers
I think my Mavericks will get him, we need that one good defender
i hope so
Still clamps just checking in tho
Because today’s performance, I could find this video.
Yesterdays is why im here
If all defensive third team existed he would be a lock.
If he was a laker or Celtic or sixer he be first team smh
Sadge, my favorite Nugget.
I didnt know Gary was like that on defense lol
Yeah he’s good just needs to find his offense again
I have not seen none of this in orlando magic from gray
Maybe he will better play at small forward position,because his lockdown defense is amazing for me
