    In Wednesday’s podcast, the topic of Holiday came up during Redick and Lillard’s conversation and the Blazer guard could not have been more complimentary of Holiday.

    “To me, he’s the best defender in the league. Like, out of the guards, I think he’s the best defender. And even after that series everbody was like ‘Man, Jrue Holiday did his…’ and after the series – he did a great job, he’s a great defender – but I was like ‘They just trapped the hell out of me and blitzed me with two people the whole time.’ So say it with some context. We got our pride as players. Don’t act like I was just out here on an island. But he did a great job. I love Jrue.”

    Maybe you didn’t read others post that said exactly what I said.
    Westbrook is better player and not even debatable, Jrue is better fit.

    "Literally nobody says hes the best defensive guard in the league"

    *Posts proof that KD/Dame both praise him as so*

    "So they say it and its true"

    Ok, so buddy says widely regarded as the best defensive guard in the league. One person says that and it’s widely regarded?

    You might be the dumbest person in this forum.
    You not only don’t know what you typed, then you went and doubled down on it. Being wrong is fine, not knowing you’re wrong just makes you dumb.

    hahahhahah man where did all these morons on cf's come from. It's embrassing. you're literally stupid.

    you actually said nobody calls him the best defender guard and yet 2 of the most premier players in the league did. Then you back track like a dummy. This is why cf's has gone downhill with losers that posts dumbass stuff all the time

    Westbrook is the poster child for what smart people in the NBA have been trying to show everyone for the last decade or 2.

    Flash and an abundance of counting stats when given insane usage do not equate to greatness.

    I agree. He’s still better player than Jrue.

    Former MVP Kevin Durant joined the podcast and Redick brought up the topic of Holiday

    Jrue Holiday is solidified as probably the best defender in the league at the guard position. When we talk about defense, a lot of people don’t really understand what defense really means. For different positions, especially at point guard, the stuff you have to do to guard, they don’t get a lot of credit for fighting over screens especially now they getting screened at half court, guys are running off of pindowns. ”

    “You put Jrue in any system, any coach is going to ask him to guard the best player. We played them in 2018, second round and he guarded me the whole series. He was picking me up full court, he was guarding me in the post. Actually, it was tough to dribble on Jrue Holiday. He slides his feet so well, he’s got good hands, he’s strong, he’s got good instincts. I gained a lot of respect for him in that series because he went from guarding me to Klay (Thompson) to Steph (Curry) to guarding Draymond (Green), neutralizing picks and rolls. He’s special. He’s special on that side of the ball.”


    but but but now it's so if KD says it's true. lmfaooooooooooooooooo

    Ok man, keep on being ignorant. It’s very clear you are lacking in the IQ department.

    Context. So two players say he’s the best, that means widely regarded as best like Jordnnn said?
    Jordnnn even posted a list from experts that has him 5th. Good, elite even. But not the best.

    And you can deflect from being wrong all you want, your ignorant ass didn’t even know what you typed.
    Jrue better than Westbrook, lmao
