I'm actually really surprised a guy like Marcus can explain this so well. More often than not, a great defender like him does a lot of his work on instinct, which is really hard to explain coherently. But Marcus' explanations made perfect sense to me. Excellent content!

Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH!

I like that he's showing how the fundamentals of defense has changed. But he set himself apart when it comes to defense. I always observed him as being on a CP or a LeBron level of observation. For example, in the Raptors series in the bubble. He's the only one who saw how the final play of Game 3 was going to develop before the inbound happened.

Definitely one of the last 'vets' of that Celtics rebuild regime when Ainge robbed the Brooklyn Nets of those draft picks. But a worthy one because his game as aged very well and has been a steady defensive presence for accountability along with Jaylen Brown. If the rest of the team aren't feeling his vibe playing D especially on the playoffs, the C's defense will crumble.

True ballers appreciate this content, it's amazing how much knowledge someone can give you. Little details that really makes the difference is amazing. This is what we need , keys to get better at the defense. Stamina, lateral quickness and the mentality that you are not going to score no matter what. They try and counter his defense but his mentality never changed, ain't scoring easy, but flexible enough to know when it ain't working or to change something

facts bro. This is what I yearn for even if people think this stuff is boring. I find this to be some of the most entertaining parts and one of the reasons why I love basketball so much!

I love how he’s teaching the mindset not just a move because defense is all about reading and countering. And your always at a disadvantage so you have to balance the scale. I’m loving that screen trick cause a red wouldn’t even catch that cause it looks like he reaching low but using the rollers momentum to recover space is genius

The way he notices the subtle angles and mannerisms of his matchup... so useful to hear especially for a bad defender like me
