Kawhi Leonard - Lockdown 15/16
HTML-код

- This is part ONE. These are clips through the first around 30 or so games (I believe I don’t have any clips on or after the new year).
In case you didn’t know, the Spurs have been historically good on defense this season. They don’t foul. At all. We’re talking about (at one point in the season) allowing the fewest trips to the line all-time. They also don’t give up the three pointer, to near perfection. Taking nothing away from the brilliance of Pop, or the ageless wonder that is Tim Duncan, this video is focused on the Claw.
Kawhi is arguably the best defender (yes, Tim Duncan is STILL that good that it’s only arguable) on the league’s best defensive team. He is also the reigning defensive player of the year, and just a year removed from an NBA championship and Finals MVP. That’s absolutely absurd when you consider this guy is only 24 years old.
So as I said up top, this is part one. I tried my best to not mix up clips from later in the season, but I am almost certain that there is nothing from 2016 in there. Part one means there is more to come, and I already have lots in the tank for part two, so fear not, there will be more.
I would love to see Kawhi as league MVP. He is so lovable, would probably have the least amount of haters
In a league were Offense rules there's no hand checking you can say he's one of the Best defensive players in history
Him and Pippen are the best perimeter defenders ever imo
@@geordiejones5618 Gary Payton??
Easily!!!
Kawhi is so great with his hands.
I feel like he gets beat a lot of times and still finds his way into the play
There's actually a breakdown of his defence and he always lets offenders pass by him because he's still able to contest due to his length
that is kinda awesome .It is like so unique to him haha
+Exequelley is it an article? A video? Can you supply the link, please?
+Jordan In many ways he is luring you, forcing you to go baseline with Timmy waiting. He then will stay by your side and contest your shot.
+MrYoumitube well said, he reminds me of Deion Sanders , just baiting the quarterback, making it look like the receiver is open and then he snatches the steal or blocks/bats down the ball
Charles Barkley said that Kawhi Leonard is the best player in the world hands down, or claws down...
I don't understand why players still try to score in isolation against Kawhi. It's just a horrible basketball strategy.
Ego
1mwyz its because of their pride
Bet he sucks at 2k tho. I can score on him any day on 2k
@@humanlettuce7422 u playin on rookie bud
@@strengtheningouriman1979 I’m saying if kawhi was playing against me irl in 2k, I’d destroy him
kawhi the silent killer
Before that ECF dunk on Giannis, there was 8:00 Plumlee
80% of these clips include Duncan at center. Tim is super old but he allows Leonard to do what he does. Tim doesn't get the credit. Spurs are 1-2 last three and got torched by warriors n cavs. Cavs game pop had Leonard play off lebron instead of man n had the team play zone because Duncan didn't play.
Yup. I put it in the description that Kawhi is only arguably the Spurs most important defensive player because Duncan does so much that goes unnoticed. Plus perimeter guys can press up on their man knowing that they have an all-time rim protector back there
+Evin Gualberto haha I didn't see your description. You're right. No Duncan means no championship for the Spurs. Hope he still has 1 more season in him. And thanks for making all the vids. You're awesome man!!!
+Evin Gualberto I know it must be annoying with every man and his dog sending you requests, but anyway would you ever consider doing a tim duncan rim protection video showing how he blocks shots below the rim and then controls the rebound.
+mattbonnerMVP I'd love to, but with defense, it's hard to make any guarantees. So I can tell you, I'll do my best and I hope I have enough to make one!
+Evin Gualberto thanks for putting the effort in, I really enjoy your defense videos.
This is just amazing to watch
love the defense videos
Melo was getting locked up
the last clip! still shocked no matter how many times I see it
it takes a lot for me to be stunned but my eyes literally shot open when i saw that
its 2021 and i am loving all of this get healthy bro clippers need you big time
vids of lockdown always cool
he's like a more reserved, kinda mellowed out scottie pippen.
I love the player, i love his intensity and his skills in defense but I have to admit that some of these plays are uncalled foul, by the way congrats for your b2b DPOY Kawhi
Kawhi has so much concentration in the game. Defensive Clutch!
2015 and 2016 dpoy. Best defender in the leauge hands down.
LeonardDuncan's Corner even more dangerous than Bermuda's Triangle
MVP! MVP! MVP!
Beautiful
People, this is why defense is so important. When we watch games, we'll always keep our eyes on the player who has the ball. But fail to realise that every possession is half-offense and half-defense. You can score 2 for your team, but if you defend well and stop the opponents from scoring, you're also 'scoring' 2 for your team by stopping 2. This is why overrated players like James Harden (all offense, zero defense) are no different than Tony Allen (all defense, zero offense). Again, HARDEN = TONY ALLEN. That's why Kawhi's team is always winning and Rockets are not.
KayJayA7X James is better then Tony Allen
Harden- monster offense
Leonard- monster defense
Long Vo kawhi=monster offense
Yes but it's much harder to defend than score. Exceptions exist like Kawhi who can actually significantly lower the offensive impact but on average, offense is actually what wins games. There's a reason why Curry is considered a top 5 player and Thompson isn't, despite Thompson being a solid offensive and defensive player.
wrong offense is always better then defense, offense wins games, good defence is neccessary but good offense will always beat a team with good defense but bad offense
DPOY. Can you make a defensive dynamo for Lowry? Very underrated defender.
I like the other lockdown video had more pick pockets and on ball steals , but I'm not complaining nice video anyways
LOL funny shit is the back to back plays of the Blazers guards where ABSOLUTELY FOULS. Well at least Dame's at the very least that's a superstar call SMFH!!!!
no foul
0:30 lmao 😂😂
May be do a clip of the Celtics defense as a team or just their perimeter defense? They are getting steals sometimes just snatching the ball out of the opponents lol
5 years ago youtube recommended it
am i the only that realized that all defensive small forwards have this weird way of moving and dribbling
Kawhi Leonard future reg. MVP!!!
Defensive player of the year.
Cool video once again.
However, would it be possible to show just man to man defense ? Without a block or an interception.
That's really much more difficult. You see, all these clips are from other videos that basically do highlights from that players specific game. In order to do that kind of video, I would need access to a number of full games.
Hopefully someday down the line, I'll be able to get that done, but I don't think it's doable anytime soon.
Ah ok, I didn't know you take these clips from highlights
Do you have any Clipper stuff in the works? I haven't seen a DeAndre Jordan video from you yet and it'd be pretty cool to see one of him considering he's 3rd in blocked shots and 4th in the league in opp FG% at the rim
I do have some Clippers stuff in the works, but it's shockingly difficult to get defense clips of the Clips. DeAndre is spectacular on defense, but his shot blocking isn't ideally what I'd focus on...either way it's hard to get that stuff. But when I can get my hands on some, I will definitely make one
+Evin Gualberto A Chris Paul dynamo vid would be nice as well. Plenty of steals and on-ball to pick from. He could also have a mid range vid similar to Kyrie's left-hand layup comp where he's just pulling up off the dribble and killing from 16-18.
Ninja Channel He has actually already done both of those. Search Chris Paul Lockdown and Chris Paul Midrange Mastery.
LandfillAO1 Oh. lol. Thanks.
We need a Tim Duncan video
All I could think was "poor Mudiay...."
Definitely dpoy once again
can you do a video of curry's defense please? i know he is not one of the best defenders in the league but he is a decent defender considering his size and strength
Harden sure loves getting blocked from behind from spurs players
Beast
Gotta do Shumpman now.
back2back dpoy...
CLAW!
1st time I every seen KD shot blocked.
I was wondering if you could do iman shumpert defense. I want to study his strip technique
+Vincent Da ruclips.net/video/qtgOpBn_d1w/видео.html
He ain't never locked up cp3 that for sure
only cp3 can lock up cp3
He don't need to he got what cp0 will never have a chip and finals and big awards lol
Jean Paul he still bounce his ass out of the playoffs last yr and yall couldn't do nothing against cp3 haha
+Dakiller1243
Chauncey Billups destroyed Paul on both ends in the 2009 Playoffs after Paul had his best statistical year.
Mohamud Ali but they have tried to put Leonard on cp3 but it doesn't work but yeah game in 30 mins we'll see
DPOY
Simply the best"superstar"
Mudiay was getting abused 😭
Be nice to Andrew wiggins
a lot of these plays arent lockdown defense, a block on the weakside aint, a block from Behind aint, you should rename your vid
Man shut up please
Nay
+miklitov23 it aint lockdown if it is a block on the helpside or helping another player, it is if hè blocks someone one on one but that is many Times not the case
+miklitov23 well that's what I interpretated, one on one defense, and being in the passing lane and all, but if hè comes from the helpside I dont consider it lockdown what is shown in this vid, hè is a lockdown defender dont get me wrong but to me hè showed the wrong footage to Back that up
DPOY 2015-2016 !!! #theKLAW
Would love to see hand checking make its way back into the NBA. Also less of these damn soft ass fouls these are grown men we are watching cry like babies because they got tapped on their arm.
Kawhi has so much concentration in the game. Defensive Clutch!
