Jrue Holiday is the defender Patrick Beverly thinks he is
True that
Better said impossible
Facts
That’s a fact!
easily the best one on one defender in the league
No trash talks, no flops and no barks. Plays simple basketball with terrific defense without fouling. Doesn't need dirty plays and mind games to get to your skin just let his game do the talking. Never bad mouth anyone nor telling that the next 5 yrs are his lol.
Completely agree with this, he should receive the same treatment that Bobby does from the bucks fans, he is a huge reason as to why the bucks won it. I still feel like offensively he can take his game to another level. He has all the skills. The bucks are gonna be even better next year.
Also NBA Sportsman of the Year
What's wrong with trash talk.
@@traviscarter1023 nothing, just preference. Jrue doesn’t need to get in someone’s head to lockdown.
No barks😂
this is one of the reasons the bucks won the championship
Beside the injuries
Damn right
@@ozymandias2630 Injuries not the Bucks problem
@@ozymandias2630 Nets Bandwagon lmao
@@ozymandias2630 bucks had their fair share of injury like giannis.. he just chose to neglect it even though its dangerous.
Got to give Jrue credit... we all know he's a really good ... great two-way player... but when his shot isn't falling... he still helps your team with his passing and his excellent on ball defense. He's a guy everybody wants on their team and was huge during this title run
That’s what most people aren’t seeing, those games he shot bad didn’t even matter cause his defense is elite and playmaking is high level, his scoring is a bonus at that point, while most guys that struggle to score are a liability to there team.
@@squadup22 yup u can count him to play consistent defense 48 mins in the game
@@squadup22 IF only Ben Simmons was like Jrue damn
My god that last play against Booker was a masterpiece
For real, that can’t be thought, you just have to know how to play defense from instincts.
@@forrest6551 ya and he was very locked in and focused. Great feel for the game, time, and moment.
Right?!
Jrue was like give me your lunch money
Jrue Grabbed his jersey- like he did all the Finals
I love how his defense is so good the players he’s guarding don’t even flop or wave for a foul at all they just respect it.
Facts that’s how yk jrue not hacking or nun just playing good defense
Agreed
As a bucks fan who watched all the playoff games without jrue there we don’t see the finals this man literally robs everybody on the opposite teams of the ball and will play great one on one defense against any position I was always a fan of jrue but seeing him get to showcase his talents to the world in this playoff run was nothing short of amazing
And Pelicans gave him away for a scrub.
When ppl were saying he wasnt good because his offense yeah but hes so active on defense like please include everything
@@bits_for_bytes and picks
Most definitely got robbed of that DPOY
Imagine Bledsoe instead of holiday.we would have had trouble with miami and never got past brooklyn..bucks set to run it back for years to come
00:15 this dude Holiday is playing mind games. He “fake” chased Herro after the hand off while having his back away from the ball handler, ran two steps, turned around and stole the ball like “Sike, I never left”.
insane IQ
That film study, he already knew herro was second option, Butler was the 1st
@@ceerivers7774 idc what it is man this is ridiculously amazing lol. But Foreal yeah I know it’s studying but to be able to avtislly remember that, and come up with a a Course of action to make a steal in that way is just other worldly dirty
Jrue is underrated. One of the best defenders in the league by a long shot.
How can you be "one of the best by a long shot"?
Actually He is not. Many great player like K.D have said he is one of the greatest defenders in the league right now
@@SaPaPa212 That's what he said.
How is he underrated when he's been multiple times first team all defense? 🤷🏾♂️
@@mr.castle only twice if I remember
Without Jrue Holiday, the Bucks DO NOT reach the Finals!
Facts
Getting rid of Bledsoe and getting Jrue was the best decision they ever made
With bledsoe idk if can they beat the nets
What about all the injuries 🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭
Most definitely
Holliday could make more money in Europe with all this pickpocketing
i think you should look up the terms of his contract extension and re-think this comment. lol.
How to win a championship: trade with new orleans stars
ZION NEXT!!!!
@@askingalex2319 give zion a few years in NO to develop. They have a good training camp there :D
Knicks: *slowly hides Zion trade papers*
Lol lakers signs lonzo it's a rep
New orleans seems to give away everybody never holding on to anyone
I love how he takes the most difficult assignments. The way he switches between Durant and Harden is a thing of beauty.
Jrue Holiday will be an All-Star next season.
I honestly think that could be true
If Ben Wallace was an all star after he got a ring then Jrue is a definite all star lock. No disrespect to Ben Wallace.
Maybe.. but for sure he will be in the first defensive team.
Hopefully
There’s just too many star guards now. It’s always stacked. Hopefully they find him a spot, but remember, even Trae was left out this years all star game
5:02 this sequence is magnificent!
He messed Booker up so bad in their series.
This man played such good defense chris paul lost his will to score
Jrue Holiday owns Devin Booker/Jenner
He completely took cp3 out of the series after game 2
@@Ben2bwild cap
@@jmoney4220 what's cap? Didn't you watch the games? Everyone Jrue guarded struggled. Booker and cp3 were only successful against PJ, Lopez and Khris. Jrue clamped them up.
His lateral quickness is next level. Dude is a pest to the opposing player.
3:03 DEFENSIVE WIZARD, didn’t do a thing but still got the ball.
underrated comment
Pffffffft!!!!!!!!!!!! *cereal everywhere
Not even gonna lie, I'm just realizing how lockdown he is, he got the clamps!
I didn’t realize till a few years back when i watched him clamp Dame in the playoffs that one year.. that was the craziest shit i seen. Him and Rondo was glued on him every play but mostly Jrue just making it bad for Dame.
Put a clamp on CP3!
bro swept damian lillard and clamped him up too this dude been like that!
He does such a great job of poking the ball away without getting reach-in fouls
Kawhi-like
@@mr.constipation2041 jrue like 👍
@@mr.constipation2041 naaah. He's faster.
The step and slides in defense man.. damn
Its his lat quickness and his strength for a pg he got the strength of a biggee player most guards can bump other guards off but they cant do it to jrue like how booker was trying to but he couldn't move him off of him
MIDdleton was more consistent than he’s ever been in these playoffs, but replacing Bledslow with Jrue was the missing ingredient
If Im not mistaken, last year he was the pg. Now bucks has jrue to bring the ball hence he could focus on scoring better.
The fact that jrue can guard in all position..UNDERATTED
No one mentions that block on Ayton, wish they showed the other angles. That was legit one of the most insane things I've seen in slow mo.
That game 5 Steal to Alley-oop still gets me hype till this day. I was in DeerDistrict when this happened that the entire crowd turned into a moshpit.
While everyone else thinks super team, milwaukee thinking D.
Pause
Fuck that D I want to see some offense. Set up a team with the best scorers against the team with all the best defenders and the best scorers are going to win every time and I’m talking about top five scorers in the league against top-five defenders the scorers is going to win fuck that D shit.
Embiid, Giannis, Kawahi, Jrue, PG13 is my starting 5. Old Draymond, Klay and AD for rotations.
@@MrMillefail Durant the best on the planet and I’m born and raised in Milwaukee. PG13 isn’t even close to as good
The scary thing is we only saw glimpses of how good his offense can be… if he can score more consistently it’s a wrap
Yessir 💯
if he can finish more consistently they might have a dynasty.
Respect for this. Can you make a Middleton “all clutch shots in 2021 playoffs” video next??
we NEED this ☝
ye i would love to see the highlights of the specialties on the important players on the bucks. Other examples: Portis "best transition offense moments" Connaughton "all automatic 3s in the playoffs" or Lopez "controlling the paint moments". It really highlights how well rounded this bucks team is
He needs recognition. Giannis fans ignore how stellar he was because of a few bad games vs the Nets. In reality he broke like 5 Bucks playoff records and typed the record for most clutch shots with less than 2 min. Giannis fans would rather hang themselves than give him and Jrue the credit they actually deserve
@@asmith4549 not all of us, but there is a big portion of Bucks/Giannis fans that are delusional and refuse to accept that Middleton and Jrue are really good for Milwaukee. But there’s a saying in Milwaukee and it’s to remind them “Khris Middleton is good”
@@cristianhr15 I always scan the comments on videos like these to see if anyone shoots out Middleton or Jrue. Your comment is the first comment I saw giving Khris the proper credit he deserves. Typical nba fans can’t look at the bigger picture, What’s in the water in Milwaukee lol
He needs to be in talks as one of the best PGs in the game today. My favorite PG when he was on the Pelicans.
He is. The players know, forget the media
They keep trying to bring it down low against Holiday. They didn't realize it ain't a mismatch with him down there. He's strong as f-ck and very good with his hands. Clamps up anyone anywhere. 🔒
Chris Paul and Devin Booker gonna have nightmares about Jrue Holiday for the whole summer
Booker about to share the same bunk bed with Jrue in Tokyo for a few weeks…
@@mitchconnor1181 lol. I doubt they will be in bunk beds. Pro athletes can afford way better accomodations.
Cp3 averaged 22 and 8 on 55% shooting with torn ligaments in his shooting hand and an injured wrist.. Book averaged like 27 with back to back 40 point games recovering from a broken nose.. Jrue played good defense but I wouldn’t say they’re gonna have nightmares lmao the bucks were just better.
@@jmoney4220 jrue isn't the one that guard all that points. Everytime jrue is on book or chris they had a tough shot
It was funny amongst Bucks fans to call Holiday Jrue Bledsoe because of his horrific shooting but the man was putting up all defense level performances and it was clearly leaving him sapped on the offensive end. We don't win the championship without him
What's scary is... he still boldly took the shots and he made a few real clutch ones.
Elite defender. He can also hold much bigger guys in the post
So the term Defense wins Championship is real.
It's never not been real.
04 Pistons they did just that.
The warriors during their rein were also a top 5 defensive team I believe
Seeing him is confusing man, one time your favorite player is bringing the ball down the court and suddenly he is running back chasing jrue. It's like a bugged videogame with no steal animation.
He's my favorite player in that squad
modern day gary payton minus the trash talking...
One of the best defenders💯
Jrue Holiday is a great defender
we need to see more videos like this! Jrue is the best defender in the league
Jrue be locking up like “cmon bro you know you can’t dribble”
I loved how you showed the offense generated from his defensive plays, nicely done!
A true Lockdown defender🐐🔐💯
Dude is dope! Slick.
His hands are so fast, and you can tell he's strong.... Imagine if jrue holiday had picked up the gloves instead of a basketball
Number one is still best defensive 🔥💯
Love defensive highlights 👏🏽
Jrue is a true professional...I love his game.
KD, Harden, Kyrie BIG 3 = ❌❌❌❌❌
Giannis, Middleton, Holiday = ✅✅✅✅✅
This is some insane defense by Holiday. Every game he made game winning plays on both ends of the court.
Jrue Holliday has some A+ defending but then some C grade finishing 😅
He's a great finisher tho. With those ambidextrous layups.
@@soysauce4223 yup he’s got the best left hand reverse layup I’ve ever seen.
Wdym
He's a great finisher, and solid playmaker as well
Not only a good defender but we’ve never seen someone so smooth with like Jrue
So happy for jrue.
Damn! Great stuff.
I love this guy so much
UNDERRATED
Just seeing all the highlights in 1 post season run for this guy... WOW, that is some really good defense.
imagine having the refs help all series long and still lost 4 straight games lmao
2:00 pm cst 12/13/22 Tuesday glad to be back here just turned 2:01 jrue destroyed the sun in just a little over a year ago crazy tho how time flies what a finals for my bucks
He's among the top 3 defenders in the league.
Would love to see him win DPOY
Craziest thing is the anticipation. He knows exactly what move you are going to make
i'm convinced holiday's poor shooting in the playoffs was a direct result of him devoting so much mental/physical energy to the defensive end. his 4 for 20 games didn't really bother me because of how significant his presence was on the other end. best pure guard on defense in a very long time
Man. This is Art.
The fact that he keeps his body square after the ball handler shoves to get separation, and still has the awareness to poke the ball with the contact towards him just beauty to watch.
Legend
Im smiling a mile wide!! Im a defensive first kinds guy. The fact that this guy plays both sides of the floor is something reminiscent of the 90’s
WELCOME TO BOSTON ☘️
Jrue holiday is like Avery Bradley and Marcus smart mixed together. Really strong and athletic, and has that close aggressive style and lateral quickness that Avery Bradley has
Not only was he doing this but he was also playmaking like the real pg that the Bucks had been missing all these years, Jrue was the X-factor
Even when trying to close out he can still move laterally. That's quite impressive.
Jrue is elite 🔥
Great!
Is it too much to ask playing like this from Patrick Beverly? Holiday has become one of my favorite players to watch. Such a great game, such a great teammate. And now an Olympic gold along with the ring in one season. Godlike.
Un-der-ra-ted.. Just underrated who dont know this game very well.. But anyone who played basketball easily see that ridiciously talented and cold-blooded player is essential part of the Bucks's success.. Sometimes he shoot 3s like playing in Venice beach and like warming up 3s
Jrue Holiday is such a great baller. Definitely, he's one of the best in his position
These highlights don't even begin to describe the all-game every-game full court press that Holiday was playing on the Suns.
Really is crazy how good he slides his feet when defending
the goat!
Truly a Champion and an Elite Athlete.
Jrue holiday!!!💪💪💪💪💪❤❤❤🇵🇭
Crazy to think that it's a 7min video all of the work he has done in the playoffs
Elite defender!
That's crazy 1:14..he knew Harden wasn't going to the cup and he sat on the cross and waited and Harden typically doing too much gave the ball tight to Jrue. IQ thru the roof

WHAT A DEFENSE 🤯
Most underrated player in the league. Glad to see him get some recognition
Happy for the Bucks. They played solid fundamental championship games. Jrue is very good. Hope he continues his way to the hall of fame.
Us Pels miss him real happy he got a ring and getting more recognition Uncle Jrue Breeze
All that the bucks gave up for Jrue was worth it
The stopper.
For me, that steal he made on Booker in g5 is what sealed the championship. I was really screaming when he made that steal cause I knew they would've win it.
Jrue Holiday is a combo sized guard he can literally take any guard on the perimiter and play perimeter himself then take it down low in the paint with the best of the best he is probably the most physically imposing guard i have seen in a while!
That strip at the end is something ive only seen mike and pippen do
Jue a beast..Gianniis and Jue defense is next level...i think Jue connection with Khris & Giannis will only get better and that's scary
He is very quick and strong, seldom lost his position when he defends. Excellent defender!
Jrue Holiday, this man had skyeye, the eagle's Perspective~!
Welcome to Boston Jrue
He has Great defense awareness defensive IQ know When to Anticipate the pass lane smart Defender
Jrue and Caruso
That’s the two most fun perimeter defenders to watch.
The best part is the people who do get guarded and forced into a turnover or bad possession don’t complain to the refs. There is no complaint to even make. They know they just got perfectly defended by a defensive god.
Scrapy and humble
Jrue is glue. 🔒
