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.
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.
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
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”.
@@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
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
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.
@@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.
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
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
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. 🔒
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
Even when bucks were down 0-2 and everyone was counting them out i still believed they would win this series . There Defense was the reason why . Especially jrue holiday really the key factor to winning the championship. Without him these bucks don’t win the championship. Very underrated and his IQ and clutch defense is just too good .
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
most people don't realize how difficult it is to play defense in the NBA. the guys at the NBA level or so talented offensively it really makes what Jrue does that much more amazing.
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!
Man. I don't remember seeing many defenders able to do what Jrue does. I mean we're talking about some of the best ball handlers in the game, and yet he is able to completely dictate where his guy goes. Amazing.
So called "analysts" who said Jrue wasn't enough for Milwaukee to get over the hump are eating crow now. Yes, Durant's big ass foot decided the Eastern Conference Finals; but he really put the clamps on CP3 after game 2 and it was a major difference.
The thing is he doesn't show much emotions unlike beverly and he's not dirty, but is such a very good fundamental defensive player, he moves his feet so well and his reach-in is so perfectly timed, also his body strength.
Jrue and Portis made all the difference, it showed evidently against the Miami Heat team. Bledsoe and Korver were not championship key pieces. Pat also stepped up with DiVincenzo's absence to become a key contributor. Of course, Nets (if healthy) would have been the heavy favorites but injuries/durability is part of the game. Life isn't a video game. Likewise, Clippers and Lakers (if healthy) would have been the favorites from the West. Suns are very good, but they aren't as good as a healthy Kawhi/PG/Ibaka or AD/Lebron/Dennis team.
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

For real, that can’t be thought, you just have to know how to play defense from instincts.

His lateral quickness is next level. Dude is a pest to the opposing player.
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.
