ANTICIPATION

Many ways to defend. Players like Kawhi and Scottie Pippen employ a really upright stance and back up to contain players while others like Patrick Beverly lean forward when defending to increase their reach. Pick a style that accentuates your physical gifts.

Kawhi, from what I've seen over the years, doesn't get low unless to swipe at the ball and on drives, he backs up with an upright stance and uses his arms to contest or force a pass.

Craigslist Reply True that, totally agree. He’s a beast locked onto a prey when he’s lockdown defending. Also applies to his goals, like his shooting or winning a championship. I guess that’s also down to no social media and eliminating all unnecessary stuff in life.

Watching this. DAMN, Monstrous Defense

You did not mention his ability to steal a pass with just one hand while for others it wil just be a deflection.

that one where he intercepts a pass without looking was disturbing. that's next level feel for the game 3:40

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! For this video man, I love you channel bro! This is really helpful! Keep on doing what you’re doing! God bless 🙏🏾

Like tim duncan on his prime. Simple, quiet but gets the job fckn done man.

Bro I love your channel so much and the intellect and time and effort you put in these videos, especially the defensive videos I LOVE EM! I love playing defense so much and I hope I can turn from a lockdown defender to a scorer just like Kawhi, PG, and I think your breakdowns really help me approach that! Stay blessed and more fire content please !

Watching Kawhi's defense is like watching NBA's top plays of the year for me.

I was never the greatest on the offensive side (getting better as I use your videos to improve,thanks btw) but defense has always been my forte & I absolutely love watching Kawhi. He’s just so efficient & focused I love watching him tearing a player/team apart. I haven’t seen all your videos yet, so I apologize if you’ve done 1 already, but there any chance you could do a breakdown of Jrue Holiday’s defense? It’s incredible how he slips through screens so seamlessly & it’d be great to try to learn from someone who doesn’t have hands the size of my chest or a 15ft wingspan lol. Either way love these videos & I appreciate them wholeheartedly, much love 💪

KL is my Fave player and this is just brilliant video breakdown, and I have been coaching 50 years. thank you, coach!

W vid man, love depth and entertainment.

Yes a video I was waiting for

Your content is top notch, thank you for your hard work

I just can’t wait for the part 2

When you see kawhi making fun of all those long wingspan make me so happy . haha

Thanks for featuring my man, Kawhi. Even tho he left my Raptors, he will still be my favorite player. Go get your 3rd ring, Klaw!

Excellent analysis!

This is something Harden & Westbrook will never have, a highlight reel for defence. That's what makes kawhi special, he aint a killer scorer, he does what the team needs to "win". If that is scoring, rebounding or extra effort on the defensive end. The guy is jack of all trades.

Dood. Thanks for the defensive video man! You're making me so much better at basketball. Execute that vision man!

He's a fun guy.

your breakdowns are so easy to under stand instead of to much detail and its not hard to under stand how you say because you don't say it to fast and you simplify it so easy which makes you a really good breakdown person

Aside from his anticipation from just knowing the opposing offense and being a disciplined student of the game, he actually stays lengthened on defense, always looking to get one fingertip on the ball. He understands that's all you really need to force a turnover. This is THE CLAW!!!

i tried the cover the ball handlers vision thing and it worked great

Good breakdown

Thank you

can you have a part 2?

I remember that miami series when he guarded lebron he always had a hand in his face even when lbj was in triple threat position. Somethiung I do now is always keep my arms out for deflection even when off teh ball.

Can you do a video on some of the better defensive pgs? Since we don’t have the same gifts lengthwise and such

3:43 tfw your brothers are bickering back & forth and they turn to you to ask "who do you agre with?"

He's such a smart player

i think an overlooked key to elite players is reputation. of course skill plays a huge role but reputation does as well. a defender may not play as good against kyrie due to being scared of getting their ankles broken. a player bringing up the ball may not be as confident seeing kawhi on the other end. i've just always wanted to bring up this point and i thought this video was a decent place to address it. one of kawhis "secrets" is his reputation. he might not even realize it but it plays a huge role

Good video!

Will there be a part 2?
