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.

@alimohammed1878 2 жыл бұрын

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

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.
