Hi coach Nick I would like to hear your opinion about Draymond Green as an overrated player. I think that in the NBA today we have a thin (or almost no) margin between a superstar/all star player and a great role player. I consider Green as the best role player in the NBA but superstar-NO. Nowadays people even compare him to Barkley which I think is ridiculous and that he would never be even close to him, I think that he works well in Golden state's enviorement but on any other system he would be an average player. Your oppinion please!
Ghost Guru Draymond was the MAIN reason they were able to ERASE a 26 point deficit to beat the Spurs. Say what u want about Draymond...but the team is DEAD without him. He is the GUTS of the group and u simply WON'T win without guts. Fa real.
Durant yes, but Curry and Klay are not really typical NBA players. Defending against Curry and Klay makes you a good perimeter defender, sure. But its not going to do anything for you when you have to guard Lebron.
Blue Guarding Lebron can be done...STOPPING HIM can not. GSW don't have to worry about LBJ...all the Warriors have to do is play the same EVIL defense they usually play and they'll be ok. Not saying beating the Cavs will be "easy"...bu it won't be as difficult as last time for 3 reasons : (1) GSW are all healthy...(2)...we have KD with us....and (3) the Cavs HAVE - NO - DEFENSE. Trust me...Cavs don't wanna see a HEALTHY Warriors team in the finals.
Kahwi is the best on ball defender. Gobert is the best interior protection. Draymond, however, is multi-faceted on defense. He defends big or small, pick and roll, interior and perimeter, and is bar none the best help defender in the NBA because he sees how offense develops and tries to do. Last and most importantly, he burns with the kind of passion rarely seen in generations, certainly not evident from Kahwi or Gobert.
Edward Lee Great points made brother! However I think Kawhi is just as passionate, however in his own way. While Draymond is full emotional energy that ignites his teammates, Kawhi is a bit more stoic and fundamentally sound in both offense and defense. I feel Draymon is hot blooded in a good way, while Kawhi is a cold-blooded assasin.
So the Warriors have the best defender in the world, the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA, the record- holder for the most points in a quarter, and the possibly the greatest scorer in the league, as well as a hidden gem in Quin Cook who dropped 30 points against the Greek Freak. That's just unfair!!
He'll be a great one too, he hasn't been in the league that long yet but he's already one of the league's smartest players and he's just what the Warriors need for a defensive backbone
Draymond is crazy defender and people who watch all Warriors games, know that. He is like a mix between prime Rodman, Pippen and Ben Wallace. And his energy and IQ on defence is second to none!
because he does not have to worry about offense. that's why he is 100% locked in on defense. what about rudy, kawhi and AD? also donkey is surrounded with good defenders like kLay, durchoke and iggy, meanwhile kawhi, AD and rudy aren't. so donkey is overrated.
Do not have to worry about offense? Are you crazy?! He runs Warriors offense! Yes, he doesn't have to worry about scoring much, but that's because of the Warriors monster trio, Steph, KD and Klay.
Draymond is the guy who makes sure he has control and knowledge of everything on defense. Notice how he knows how the Blazers' plays work, who he can help off of, which players to concentrate on, and which of his teammates would need his help the most. Being like this lets him to be so many steps ahead. His knowledge and control aren't the only things that are great about his defense though, his footwork and the way he works around the officiating but still play defense at the most optimal level are both great and are just a marvel to watch.
Thank you Coach Nick. You haven't made many Warriors breakdowns. Don't listen to the internet trolls and kids who hate this team. Make your videos and fuck the haters.
***** Rethink your life. What the fuck do you want from me. All is said was that he's a bandwagon who doesn't live in the Bay Area. What am I jealous of? You're probably a triggered warriors bandwagon
Draymond is a FREE SAFETY....not really guarding anybody....but sees EVERYTHING...always ready to make the best defensive play. He's a defensive GENIUS.
Deez Nuts No, straight up. I forget who said it, maybe Windhorst, but if I needed a stop at the rim? Gobert. A stop on the perimeter? Leonard. But if I said I need a stop and you won't know where it's coming from? Draymond all day.
LT. Dan criticise his offense , criticise his antics , criticise his values as a man , but there's if you're calling him an average defender you don't know Basketball .
LT. Dan Are you high? He can lock anyone up, people like you say "oh he is a system player, not even that good" are just ignorant and dumb asf. You would love him if he was on your team. Take your fanboy glasses off. he literally is the commander on defense can guard 1-5
Highest Basketball IQ of our generation. Can see where and what plays are coming, leading early switches and knowing who he is playing against. It is not all about offense, most of todays nba fans are soft and dumb af, two ways to a game, this is not offense for your entertainment only
Draymond Green is a phenomenal athlete and defender. But what makes him special is the intellectual side of the game. Many may not know that Draymond has a photographic memory. So if a player makes a move and scores on him, Draymond remembers that. So the next season, or even a couple years down the line, when the same player tries the same move, Draymond is ready and prepared for it this time. His high basketball IQ, mixed with his athleticism, combined with his all-out hustle, and throw in a photographic memory, and Draymond has become a beast of a defender.
Yes, D Green is intelligent. The way he plays and getting away with fouls, he is the vocal one on their team and... really am amused when he answers questions from reporters with that facial expression , not withstanding the content of his answers which are straightforward.
He's just someone you hate because of the way how he plays, making your team's life so much harder. But he's definitely someone you want on your team. He can defend, he can run the offence, he can energise your team, he's a strong vocal leader, mamba mentality, and values team success rather than individual stats. What more could you ask from this kind of guy?
Coach, I remembered the interview you did with Draymond a few years ago. He said that the most important thing he had to work on was his basketball IQ. Well, he really has put tons of effort to work on it!!! He deserves to be the DPOY.
I just want to let any viewers know that if you're trying to be great in NBA 2K , then this is the channel. I'm not even kidding, I just made SS3 for the first time in myPark with a record of 2744 wins and 1044 losses (I had 2 times more losses last year), an individual record of 300-20, and a proam record 230-10. I accomplished all of this after watching this channel; Bball doesn't only focus on the analytics of the game but also the mechanics and physics of the sport. I remember starting off last year with the Spurs Hammer Play breakdown and taught it to my friends and that made us become one of the most unstoppable offense in 2K. Along with that Bball throws in tips in creating your myPlayer as well with comments like "He has an incredibly long wingspan that makes him a great defender" giving you insight on what wingspan to give a DEFENSIVE player you're creating. Thank you so much Bball for making life easier lol
Clamp God, Defensive Genius, Ultimate Competitor, Defensive Anchor with the Heart of a Lion. Draymond Green is the leader of the Golden State Warriors!
Holy shit I never noticed how much thought a defensive player has to put to tactically defend someone like how Draymond positions himself to invite a bad mismatch.
Whoever thinks Kawhi and Gobert are better defenders didn't watch the game last night. It was a truly historic performance and Draymond singlehandedly neutralized the entire Blazers offense in the 4th quarter. Kawhi can lock down a wing, Gobert can stuff someone's shot, but Draymond is true swiss-army knife that can do both. Weak side help, rim protection, coverage, man defense, BBIQ, intensity and hustle, every aspect that you can think of on defense is where Draymond dominates. There's never been a player like Draymond before that can control and dominate the game without scoring a single point. Draymond is that nuclear blast that wipes out the methodic and strategic advances made by the opposing offense. While his emotional aspect is a double-edged sword, when he gets going, you can almost see pure energy streaming off of him and the crowd and his teammates feeding off of it, transforming the whole Oracle Arena into a nuclear fission that devours the opposing team. Truly an amazing player.
Says the stupid bitch that doesn't even watch the Warriors play. Green has multiple dominating defensive displays through this season, including 3 game winning plays.
+Camren Hansen Great defenders? The only great defender on the team is Green. Klay and Durant will be lucky if the even sniff the All-NBA Defensive team. Plus, every good defensive team has great defenders. You'll be lying if you said the Spurs and Jazz and filled with lockdown defenders.
SMH, all of these people are saying Rudy or Kawhi, which are both fine picks, but provide no fucking evidence. No stats, no signature plays, nothing. These goddamn Stans are so annoying. Draymond stopped both a 3 and a dunk on a 2-1 fastbreak in the fucking playoffs and almost got a 5x5. He's the most important player on a Top 2 defense, can singlehandledly blow up PnR schemes, can defend 1-on-1 against the best players, kills transition plays, guards the rim as well as a center. Kawhi and Gobert are amazing in their own right, but provide a god damn argument.
You are correct , he is a badass! So many times we see NBA defenders actually moving out of the way of someone going in for a dunk. It's nice to see a guy who will contest every shot no matter what. I want to see him on Lechoke James.
The warriors needed every bit of draymond this game. His defense/effort was on full display this game. If I wasn't such a fan of warriors I'd love to see kawhi, green, Gobert on same team
was watching draymond play center yesterday AND guarding Dame. Not to mention the blocks he got. if you can lock down all 5 positions you are really something special
100% man. Draymond's defensive IQ is insane. Overall in fact. He is the one who initiates the warriors offense, and is their on court coach on defense. Without draymond, the warriors are nothing!
"Dad can we go to the playgr-" "SEATGEEK!" "Whats for breakfa-" "SEATGEEK!" "Can I have 10 bucks?" "NO BUT YOU CAN USE CODE 'bball' FOR TEN PERCENT OFF SEATS TO A BUCKS GAME!"
Michael Lee Yea but Lebron deserves the love considering all the hate he got the past 6 years. Anyways Kawhi being a top 3 candidate in most peoples list for MVP is crazy too
Kawhi isn't the best, but the impact he brings to the Spurs being the #1 guy on defense and offense is unbelievable, that is the main reason he is a top 3 or top 5 MVP candidate, both Westbrook and Harden doesn't play a whole lot of defense (their offensive impact is outstanding though). I'm a Spurs fan, so i've watched every single Spurs game this season.
Bryan Gomez kawhi deserved it back to back stupid larriors fan. donkey has iggy, kLay and durchoke also playing good defense. meanwhile rudy and kawhi doesn't have many teammates who can actually guard 1v1. rudy for dpoy. trash donkey is overrated.
Nefarious Anxiolytic where tf is your proof son Kawhi is far better than donkey... look at the stats... compare them talk about draymond is younger n shit
You obviously don't know the rules lmao. Watch the damn video and if you're not blind you'll see that it's straight up fading to the side. Leaning forward has everything to do with it because you're no longer entitled to that spot. Stop hating. Every NBA player will tell you that's not a foul.
Drecyn Dyson he was the only player top 5 in defensive rating, defensive win shares and defensive box +/- and they give it to a guy that missed 18 games. yeah it was pretty much robbed.
675 People dislike that he's the best defender in the league. None of you can guard KD, Klay or Curry. Draymond does it, that's why he's special. Great video Coach
Andy The Great wtf is wrong with u. Did u even watch. It fucking shows him in several switches having to guard the best players (CJ and Dame for majority)
ogbmt ACTUALLY, as a goalkeeper myself for seven years now, goalkeepers play the most defense. In fact, the entire game. In that case, they play the most offense, too, which means goalkeepers are the best two-way players in the world. 90 minutes of constant defense and offense.
donkey looked like a great defender because he was surrounded by 3 superstars. you want to see the REAL DEAL. check out Rodman, the only superstar on their team was I.T.
He Hate me umm, everybody who isnt a warriors fan roots against them lol. everyone who isnt a warriors fan says Curry is overrated, klay is trash, Draymond is a donkey and Durant is a soft snake lol. every game they win they prove millions of people wrong so yeah. they have a right lol
Steph,Klay and Draymond came from draft picks and worked their way towards success then came along durant that wanted to join can't blame warriors for not wanting durant.
kawhi is a better player but draygoat is a better defender cuz he reads evenrything and gives his team motivation and when a teammate gets all pumped up like that you'll get pumped up
The thing about Kawhi is he isn't as versatile. You can put Kawhis man in the corner (Kawhisolation) and just play 4 on 4, effectively taking Kawhi out of the defensive possession. You can't do that with Draymond, he can literally guard 1-5 and will switch to make sure he impacts the play. Since Kawhi can't guard 4s and 5s it becomes very difficult for him to do it.
That's exactly why teams take him out the game, because he is such a good defender. That's a horrible argument. Teams would't have to do that if it weren't for Kawhi being such a good defender
L Kawhi can dream of playing all around defense like this. He can't guard 1 through 5, Draymond can and does. Plus Draymond is damn rim protector Kawhi rarely protects the rim
KylleisOwnage your only saying kawhi cus his a better player and scores more points but he can't guard every position u just say kawhi better cus his better at offence dray is better at defence so suck it up 😂 and juss cus kawhi won mvp stop hating on dray 😂😂
Kawhi please lock down Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, and Marc Gasol. and Chris Paul just for the hell of it. Oh, Draymond does all of that, including yourself, Kawhi? Cool beans
Draymond is not better than The Claw, stop it ... you're smoking crack. Who would you want guarding Lebron in the finals? Kawhi or Draymond ... answer is obvious

Yo when showing defensive videos use more arrows. It takes too long for me to catch the player and i end up rewinding hella (great videos tho❤)
He's not the best defender
Read my comment and let me know what you think
imagine getting to practice your defense gainst Curry, Klay, and Durant.
I didn't think about that but for reals...he's got the best to work with no wonder

Zachariah-Bin Yisrayl we got 3 players out with strains
You may not like him, but Draymond is the spine of that GSW team
Jigolopuff may makes sense
Funny how people say the NBA is soft but everyone hates Draymond. He is the closest player we have to KG and he anchors his team on both ends.
Michael S exactly
Michael dont try to use logic with these new NBA fans, its a waste of time
Michael S he's also a sore loser

gobert is overrrated
if anything hes underrated lol just look up how many points he saved the jazz
Kawhi is not passionate? I'm guessing you judge books by it's cover.
gobert winning dpoy. donkey is overrated.
So the Warriors have the best defender in the world, the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA, the record- holder for the most points in a quarter, and the possibly the greatest scorer in the league, as well as a hidden gem in Quin Cook who dropped 30 points against the Greek Freak. That's just unfair!!
They also just signed possibly the best center inthe NBA.
Yes, he may only play in January of 2019 and may not be as dominant as he was.
But still..
Not unfair. GSW had garbage teams spread across decades. And anytime the team was decent, they would blow the team up via trades.
Pignoy
Don't forget about there old 6th man Igoudala
@@zeuslevizapanta197 underrated man

This is the best basketball channel on RUclips PERIOD. I feel a whole lot wiser going into this basketball season.... even as a girl.
now make a video: Why Draymond Green is a scrub
And this video STILL rings true in 2019!
Really? 😂
L
That blazers game 1 was some of the best defense I've ever seen from draymond, DPOY
What Draymond brings to the game is seriously a rarity that you don't find in this league very often.
Ben Wallace , Dennis Rodman and Draymond Green are the best NBA defenders of all time♥️!..
He's the worlds best defender cause he can kick people in the balls and get away with it
He also brings that little bit of crazy that all great teams need
100% man. Draymond's defensive IQ is insane. Overall in fact. He is the one who initiates the warriors offense, and is their on court coach on defense. Without draymond, the warriors are nothing!
If Draymond Green doesn't win DPOY, the NBA is rigged.
Roooa2312 he shouldnt though
+Jeremy Hamilton agreed
Him or gobert i think is fair
THETBALL homestly kawhi is such a great defender that offensive schemes try to run on the opposite side of the court than the side kawhi is on
if your comment gets 15 likes youtube is rigged.
THANK YOU
The way you do the Seat Geek ad at the beginning is how you should do all your promos it's quick and effective.
Why Draymond Green has the greatest "Natural Shooting Motion"
"Dad can we go to the playgr-"
"SEATGEEK!"
"Whats for breakfa-"
"SEATGEEK!"
"Can I have 10 bucks?"
"NO BUT YOU CAN USE CODE 'bball' FOR TEN PERCENT OFF SEATS TO A BUCKS GAME!"
XD this did not age well.
Yeah lol, he didn't take this season good at all. He'll be fine
Wow. What a perfect analysis!!! Your analyses make the plays come alive even more.
Crazy part is he is also the spine of the offense
Does kahwi have anything to say?
Kawhi and Rudy better. Donkey overrated. Gobert winning dpoy
Relax And Work Gobert not winning shit lmao. Lemme know when Gobert can effectively guard 1-5, and do it every game
Relax And Work Lmaoo why would Kawhi not want to play his best defense in the playoffs? Dumb af
Tucker Phelps Kawhi can't protect the rim/guard bigs as well
World's best defender that hasn't and probably won't win a DPOY with all the love going for Kawhi every year smh
Bryan Gomez Kawhi so hyped up every year for defense it's almost like how much love Lebron gets no matter what
Michael Lee Yea but Lebron deserves the love considering all the hate he got the past 6 years. Anyways Kawhi being a top 3 candidate in most peoples list for MVP is crazy too
True you can argue that. For Kawhi tho, I agree he's mad good but so many people don't even watch the games and just say Kawhi's the best
Kawhi isn't the best, but the impact he brings to the Spurs being the #1 guy on defense and offense is unbelievable, that is the main reason he is a top 3 or top 5 MVP candidate, both Westbrook and Harden doesn't play a whole lot of defense (their offensive impact is outstanding though).
I'm a Spurs fan, so i've watched every single Spurs game this season.
Bryan Gomez kawhi deserved it back to back stupid larriors fan. donkey has iggy, kLay and durchoke also playing good defense. meanwhile rudy and kawhi doesn't have many teammates who can actually guard 1v1. rudy for dpoy. trash donkey is overrated.
THAT WAS THE BEST SEATGEEK AD
You can tell how good Nick is at rapping by the ad lol
Blazers small forwards and power forwards are shit tho
fr
Relax And Work Dumbfuck
Relax And Work Again stfu 😂😂😂
Donkeys protect the farm
When vonleh got blocked, even the Portland bench was like "Holy shit"
Agree with you you 100% here. Draymond is by far the Warriors' most relevant player.
Put some respek on hardens name
Put some fear on that beard.
Put some respek on defense by not mentioning it in the same sentence as Har_en.
Victor Gonzalez I'll THINK about respeking Harden when he can win the western conference. But until then....NO.
Maybe the best handles in the game right now, but he's a half court player and I can't stand that.
Bob Dole I stand by my evaluation of Harden. Really good player...but champion caliber ?? No.
did KAWHI LEONARD retire or something ?
did he not anchor a defense the same way vs Memphis ?
only delusional larriors fans will say donkey is better than kawhi. kawhi isn't even trying anymore. rudy gobert is the next dpoy.
Kaelen Brix holy shit i love your comment it made my day
niga you wrong as hell go fuckyourself
Nefarious Anxiolytic where tf is your proof son Kawhi is far better than donkey... look at the stats... compare them talk about draymond is younger n shit
that block on vonleh was proly what made his dpoy official!
He's like a shorter and more mobile version of Celtic Garnett! Notice how they both bark orders on defense and how well they handle pick and rolls.
Kawhi is the WORLDS BEST DEFENDER 🙄
5:30 "Draymond goes straight up"
...wut
clenn14 Meaning he doesn't lean forward. When you lean forward, then contact, that's a foul.
Draymond jumps into Dame, he didn't jump straight up. It's a foul and leaning forward has nothing to do with it.
You obviously don't know the rules lmao. Watch the damn video and if you're not blind you'll see that it's straight up fading to the side. Leaning forward has everything to do with it because you're no longer entitled to that spot. Stop hating. Every NBA player will tell you that's not a foul.
That's called going straight up. It's men's basketball.
"straight up fading to the side"
lmao now I know you're trolling
And y’all hating on what draymond said. He clearly watch coach!!!!
hand up while defending is a key trait. Not many defenders do this but many could adopt it easily. The other player who does this is Luc Mbah a Moute.
coach calls us "sports fans", buuuut y'all know i'm only here for the best sport :)
Is it cricket?
Naif Almarri idk, are you watching a cricket video?
i know, chess right?
he got robbed the DPOY in 2015
Guilherme Vieira no he didn't.
Drecyn Dyson he was the only player top 5 in defensive rating, defensive win shares and defensive box +/- and they give it to a guy that missed 18 games. yeah it was pretty much robbed.
Guilherme Vieira Leonard deserved it both years tbh.
Drecyn Dyson No way.
MD Twomp but draymond definitely deserves it this year.
Draymond has my respect as a great player. He should be awarded Best Hustler Award........to be continued.
675 People dislike that he's the best defender in the league. None of you can guard KD, Klay or Curry. Draymond does it, that's why he's special. Great video Coach
The only reason he's playing good against the blazers is bc they don't have a respectable PF/SF
Andy The Great Real talk. He ass on defense the rest of the time
*****
Only consistently good at illegal screens and kicking people in the balls
Lamarcus Aldridge shoots around 30% on Draymond ever since he's joined the Spurs. Real talk.
Andy The Great wtf is wrong with u. Did u even watch. It fucking shows him in several switches having to guard the best players (CJ and Dame for majority)
L
Did kawhi retired? His defense is so good they need to put superstars away from the ball with him.
facts.
Being able to defend a 2 on 1 is special
In this game,Draymond Green reminded me again why I love basketball so freaking much.
Sorry I disagree! Gotta give it to Tim Howard of Team USA!
he's a goalkeeper not a defender
Karl M yeah youre right, goalkeepers are the least defensive players on the pitch.
ogbmt lol
ogbmt ACTUALLY, as a goalkeeper myself for seven years now, goalkeepers play the most defense. In fact, the entire game. In that case, they play the most offense, too, which means goalkeepers are the best two-way players in the world. 90 minutes of constant defense and offense.
Leonard
agreed
jumangi Jim Hell no.
MD Twomp because you are stupid.
W. but Gobert for DPOY this year.
It's close but nah. I think green is going to run away with defensive player of the year.
donkey looked like a great defender because he was surrounded by 3 superstars. you want to see the REAL DEAL. check out Rodman, the only superstar on their team was I.T.
he was a great defender saying otherwise is idiotic. He just isnt as good now.
@@krlllx donkey = mr. triple single. HAW HAW HAW HAW
@@lablueguy2000 triple single was funny once. You just sound stupid. Stop using it as if it is a valid argument.
Anyone who said that block on the Lillard dunk was a foul must have just started watching basketball. LMAO
Hey we're the warriors we have 4 of the best players in the league on one team and guess what we win and act like we're underdogs
They started from the ground up.
Alejandro Serrano FACT.
He Hate me umm, everybody who isnt a warriors fan roots against them lol. everyone who isnt a warriors fan says Curry is overrated, klay is trash, Draymond is a donkey and Durant is a soft snake lol. every game they win they prove millions of people wrong so yeah. they have a right lol
Steph,Klay and Draymond came from draft picks and worked their way towards success then came along durant that wanted to join can't blame warriors for not wanting durant.
XFL. All day everyday baby.
I still prefer Kawhi Leonard to be the best defender.
David Li I prefer Draymond, Kawhi is a monster, but Draymond is much better interior defender and he has that spirit that motivates everyone.
The thing is Kawhi is a better defender, but this time Draymond had a better season (defesively)
kawhi is a better player but draygoat is a better defender cuz he reads evenrything and gives his team motivation and when a teammate gets all pumped up like that you'll get pumped up
The thing about Kawhi is he isn't as versatile. You can put Kawhis man in the corner (Kawhisolation) and just play 4 on 4, effectively taking Kawhi out of the defensive possession. You can't do that with Draymond, he can literally guard 1-5 and will switch to make sure he impacts the play. Since Kawhi can't guard 4s and 5s it becomes very difficult for him to do it.
That's exactly why teams take him out the game, because he is such a good defender. That's a horrible argument. Teams would't have to do that if it weren't for Kawhi being such a good defender
I love your seat geek thing there usually so long but yours is som much faster thanks
why the warrior’s staff is the world’s best staff
The world's best defender... behind Kawhi Leonard.
Leroy Green t r u
L Kawhi can dream of playing all around defense like this. He can't guard 1 through 5, Draymond can and does. Plus Draymond is damn rim protector Kawhi rarely protects the rim
Leroy Green Draymond can guard every position, he is a better and more versatile defender.
Kawhi's DPBM and defensive rating isn't even in the same sentence as Draymond's. Great defensive player, but massive regression this year.
Leroy Green kawhi only attests to the eye test. Metrics don't even have him in top 5 defender....dray is in it.
no fucking way hes the best defender. ever heard of this dude name kawaii leneord?....
Jacob Bennett never heard of him but I know a Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi = on ball defender, Gobert = shot block rim defender. Green can do both.
draymond is a good TEAM defender, out him Inn the mavericks, bet he gets lit up. 6'7 power forward will get exposed.
KylleisOwnage your only saying kawhi cus his a better player and scores more points but he can't guard every position u just say kawhi better cus his better at offence dray is better at defence so suck it up 😂 and juss cus kawhi won mvp stop hating on dray 😂😂
Kawhi please lock down Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, and Marc Gasol. and Chris Paul just for the hell of it. Oh, Draymond does all of that, including yourself, Kawhi? Cool beans
The fact they lead the league in blocks after losing bogut testifies to how good he is.
It’s like he’s playing his own zone defense
1 man zone defense
Kawhi is a much better defender imo.
kawhi and gobert are different than draymond. draymond can guard all 5 positions on the court, something that I haven't seen kawhi or gobert do.
but harden just cooked him last night lol people say draymond can guard all 5 positions off what? highlights? zzz
Draymond is not better than The Claw, stop it ... you're smoking crack. Who would you want guarding Lebron in the finals? Kawhi or Draymond ... answer is obvious
donkey got exposed by CJ too. i don't want to get started with conley and kyrie yet.
Hayden Lewis Who was winning in the finals before his bitch ass cried to the league to get him suspended?? Oh yeah lebron had was irrelevant.
Hayden Lewis Dray
Lebron had to get dray suspended before they could turn the series around lmao
Well the Warriors were whooping the Cavs until Draymond got suspended... what does that tell you
the seat geek plug reminds me of an regular car reviews video
honestly i think hes pretty good one of the best defenders for sure a lot of people dont give him the credit he deserves defensively.
this is an L if I ever seen one. Put some respect on rudy gobert's name.
agreed
Dom Grey *respek
Dom Grey Gobert isn't even close. I
agreed
agreed
world's best defender -HE IS NOT. that's blasphemous
Agreed
Hes a beast in 2k so I agree.
.Phenomenal video Coach. Sure can learn a lot from these types of videos and from your analysis
