30 minutes of straight defense? This is heaven.

nearly 30 min of pure defense, I must be dreaming

Let’s all really have a moment to cherish the internet. Kobe doesn’t even seem gone with all the gems and memories we were able to capture. I can cry rn

Great video my man. Only thing missing is the clip of Scottie explaining how he would defend James Harden back in like 2018.

Marcus smart just made an 18 minute defensive lesson with Ryan Razooky

I love watching stuff like this I’m a defensive player myself and I always love the fact that I can get even better on my offense but most importantly my defense and especially when I’m a high scholar who soon plan on playing for my college team

I’m late but you should do a breakdown of Jrue Holiday’s defense. I’m glad he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves on the defensive end. Well actually he has been for the past few seasons but still, as a guard and at his height, he’s one of the most versatile players in the league

Coach Mike really needs to do a Jrue Holiday breakdown. That would be great.

Love the content coach. Just bought a copy of your book to read on vacation, keep fighting the good fight. Let’s get this revolution started

Miss Kobe.. he learned the defensive tricks from GP during practice for the All Star game 2000 together with KG.. RIP mamba..great video man!

Happy I found this channel!! I preach Defense to my son and this may be the only channel on pure basketball Defense.🔥

Love your videos I’ve been watching for years

Great video coach, just bought the book. Please make on Jrue Holiday, one of my favorite defensive players

So good. Thanks for this!

Love this. Defence is something I take great pride in basketball wise 💯

Hey Coach Mike, I think this channel is great at discussing on-ball defense, but it could also benefit from analyzing a few defensive concepts in navigating screens, off-ball defense, and help defense techniques. Like the Marcus Smart video doesn't even mention how good Smart is at identifying plays and adjusting tactics to defend concepts. Or another thing to discuss is how should a defender keep both an eye on their man and the ball? What stance should someone take in such as situation, and after some rotations, what footwork enables a good close-out on a shooter? Or what is good positioning and hand placement for defending backdoor cuts and bumping down on the roll man? Or how can a help defender position themself on a 2-on-1 situation and still only give up a mediocre shot?

Great defensive tips. I'm gonna use these tips for high school basketball tryouts as a freshman.

Coach Mike is goated🐐

I love this video I can’t stop watching it

I love this video. Learned a bunch of stuff that makes watching defense even more enjoyable, and confirmed stuff I thought I knew. I especially love how MJ was like "when ya moooove" LMAO

I'm sort of similar to Matisse Thybulle with my defense. I've always, despite coaches screaming at me, let the offense blow past me, and then either chase them down or heavily contest them, due to my wingspan being large, or just steal the ball from behind, the YMCA old man technique. The only thing I cannot do is rebound because I'm not large enough, just my arms are long enough to steal and block. I miss basketball now 😔

amazing video!!! can you do an Artest or Stockton defense break down please.

Sad to see defensive players don’t get appreciated enough, they help the whole team massively and have massive iQ but people always parecer offenss

You can tell it was about to be a fire video from the intro! 🤣🤣

wow, lots of gems here thanks

I just bought ur book! I can’t wait to read it

Coach, u needa make a lockdown defense video on Jrue Holiday!

Coach Mike, For the book is it like basketball team defense or individual defense, if so I need this for high school! Great Videos, and defense does need a revolution!

nice vid but you havent uploaded in a while coach would love it if there was a defensive mistakes vid i nthe NBA or something with team defense

Zeke was lowkey in the zone 👀

The picture at the end of the video made me laughed hard, i was serious all the time and then 😂😂😭

Strap godz 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey coach mike,could you please do a jrue holiday defensive breakdown

Hi Coach Mike Can You Make a Klay Thompson Defense Breakdown?

That's a good vid

Can u do a breakdown on pistons dennis Rodman Ben Simmons and jru holiday ??

Scottie Pippen defense is a sight to behold. Absolutely brilliant defender

7:43 I actually injured my shoulder real bad tryna steal the ball like this against someone that was driving. I’m glad I was able to learn a safer way to steal the ball by watching this vid lmao

The 1 person who disliked this doesn’t know, defense wins championships 🏆

🔥

Isiah to BD on TNT “Now shoot that shit!”

First time watching the vid... Bought the book. 😂

Drue’s always been my DPOY

Yessir

Idc what nobody say these videos help in Real Life ND on 2k. I'm about to start doing defensive drills tomorrow in real life though. Get my lateral defense up an reaction

Coach, does your book covers team defense? Nowadays team defense is important than one on one defense

WOW... I just saw Kobe and Jrue Holiday Prove the FACT that there is no defense in basket ball anymore by their own display of dirty defensive tactics that the ref either won't see cause its too fast or don't call them out on. GOOD JOB!!!

Jrue guarding all these elite guards and not being able to touch them-but also having worry about them touching *HIM?* Insane. To me he’s really the best guard defender of all time.

Coach Mike, when r u gonna upload next? :(

I want to buy your book but I live outside of the US so I will pay more than double the price for shipping , Can you please make an ebook version thanks for your time

YESSIR

PLS DO A DONAVAN MITCHELL BREAKDOWN !!

RIP Kobe

I love isah 😂😂😂

Pls do jru holiday and Ben Simmons

Kobe's detail episode on Pippen is perfect. It's like the opposite of how the last dance portrayed him. Funny how Kobe gave a brotha love when Michael used him to make himself look better

Can I ask Coach how can I be better in contesting shot especially in corner 3??

Wow

Can you break down kris dunn on defense plzzzzz

Do you know how good it must of felt for Scottie Pippen to push an opposing player to MJ and say 'what you gon do now???'

Rip to kobe

Amazing video, and it just show that the old heads who try to tell us that there is no contact/physicality anymore since the end of hand checking in the late 90´s are just ignorant. Kawhi, Kobe, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Giannis, Tony Allen, Jrue Holidays … All these players had their prime in the late 2000´s to now, and you can clearly see all the contact, the guy with Kobe even said how you don’t get called for a foul and he just said « it’s too fast », yeah, it’s so fast that you don’t even realise how physical the NBA is todays. So the people saying Lebron wouldn’t survive the 90´s are funny, Kawhi is literally a mix of MJ and Pippen, Kevin Garnett, AD, Giannis and Ben Simmons are like 6´11 Pippen, Draymond is one of the smartest defender ever, Jrue is probably one of the strongest pound for pound player, Rajon Rondo is a freak of nature like Kawhi, he is only 6ft1 but with a 6ft9 wingspan and hands of a 7footer… If guys like Karl Malone, Charles Barkley or David Robinson could be MVP in the 90´s, averaging 29ppg for many seasons, how can you think Lebron wouldn’t do better ? He has literally the size and strength of Karl Malone, the speed and explosivity of Westbrook before 2015, he shot 40% from 3 in his prime and can shoot from anywhere and after 2015 he mastered the fadeaway and became the best passer of all time, he can make every type of passes you can think of except the elbow pass of white chocolate, but im sure he could do it … MJ himself said Lebron is better than Kobe, in 2005, Bill Walton said Lebron was an all time great, he was 20 years old ! And Steve kerr said he has never seen a better player than Lebron and MJ, they are both the best according to him. And if you still think he couldn’t handle the « physicality » of the 90´s even tough small and skinny guys like Iverson, Reggie Miller, Isaiah thomas, Gary Payton, John stockton or Steve Kerr himself could dominate, how the fuck a 6´9 250-270pounds freight train who can pass and shoot at an elite level couldn’t ? Just look at his series against the Celtics of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rondo, his series against the Piston of Rasheed Wallace, Chris Webber, Tayshaun Prince and Chauncey Billups or the Raptors of Ibaka, Gasol, Siakam and Kyle lowry … These guys aren’t soft, there are tons of plays were you can see Lebron driving and them throwing elbow and slap in his head or pushing/grabbing him in the air but he is so strong that he could finish in most of these plays …

What’s the difference between that and hand checking in the post

What i should do if my opponent use stepback or stepside in 3point line and shoot? i lost my balance when i defend. I tryed find information about it, but google search did not help me. what players i can study if i want know counter move? Also i tryed search information in your book about it, but empty.

Is there any way a player can have a defensive stance that uses the mixture of both Forward and Upward stance?

I like Defense Myself

0:58 pro move, hold his wrist in the refs blind spots

2:28 Wth is Defensive Pressure Score??

18:00

If you're 6'1 and up learn to shoot a 3 ball, move off the ball, and be a LOCKDOWN DEFENDER. You will make it somewhere

not kobe telling us to foul ppl

Gary Payton better be on here

How do u get good hips for defense ??

Lol Kobe: Don't play the ball, just forcibly demobilize him and "the ball pops outs".

IT: now go up and shoot that shit

“He was despised and rejected- a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all. He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion of my people. He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave. But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands. When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish, he will be satisfied. And because of his experience, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins. I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier, because he exposed himself to death. He was counted among the rebels. He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:3-12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 God loves you so much and showed that by sending His Son to die for us so that we may inherit eternal life. We deserve hell but He gave us heaven through faith in Jesus. He took the punishment we deserved and by putting our faith in Him we can be saved.

I just love basketball, I am preparing to stop smoking my little blacks, and my mind to start playing again, when I have time off, it a good relaxation of tension and getting your body working too. 😌👍💭💭, I'm going to check some of the ladies side out and see who doing good.

Was this video eligible for monetization?

Kobes lesson would of been useless in hardens rocket days cause he would of just hooked up his arm

I hate to say it this is why basketball changed

1st

Just hack and hope the ref doesn’t call it

2nd

God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). We’re not sinners because we sin, but rather we sin because we’re sinners. Sin is the nature of our flesh that we are born with due to the sin of Adam in the garden. For someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless. We’ve all sinned (Romans 3:23), and the the law demands death for those who sin (Romans 6:23). God is righteous, so He must punish our sin, which is what He did through His Son Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus is Holy and sinless, yet He received our sin when He died on the cross, so that we can be righteous before God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When He died on the cross, He said “It is finished” (John 19:30), which means He paid the full price for all of your sins (past, present, and future) to be forgiven. He was buried and rose again from the dead. God will forgive anybody who puts their full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. We aren’t saved based on our good deeds, but only by the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). His precious blood that He shed is the only reason why we can be forgiven of our sins (Hebrews 9:22). If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved (Romans 10:9). You are born-again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and are not only legally justified before God, but also are accredited His righteous (Romans 4:24). Believers live for Christ now, so get to know Him through His Word. I recommend reading the book of Romans and the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), and watching Pastor Joseph Prince’s online sermons!

Who’s the Denver Nuggets player?

Jesus is Coming back soon! Repent now and come to him as your Lord and Savior! He loves you may God bless you

How do u get good hips for defense ??
