A youngster trying to learn how to defend scorers should start by watching some Jimmy tapes. His footwork is perfection, hes not aggressive, just 100 percent focused

how is that clamping kobe. he got the shots he wanted and normally knocks down or got another guy an open look after the defense collapsed into the paint. butler had literally one stop when he stole kobes pass

You seriously go on the record saying these are the shots Kobe wanted?

Calling one possession "clamping" is ridiculous :lol

[Full Court]

He also should have been the 2020 FMVP.

[ShawkFactory]

I think he's finally legit put himself in the top 10. He's been 11-13ish for a minute.

[TheGoatest]

Yes, he is definitely better than Reggie Miller/Mitch Richmond/Latrell Sprewell/John Starks/post 1991-92 Clyde Drexler.

Why watch Jimmy when you can learn much more from a ton of better defenders?

Pippen for one is probably the smartest, most fundamentally sound defender ever so guys should watch him first before anyone else.

He does have his weaknesses defensively especially guarding quicker players but he is obviously the total package when it comes to defense.

Butler has no weakness as a defender. His quickness is extraordinary and the way he sets up his man to run into the big man is a thing of beauty.
