Defensive limited Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr praised the defense of his team's players Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green.
CBS Sports reported on Monday (Korea time) that "Steve Kerr mentioned Butler and Draymond Green as reminiscent of Jordan and Pippen," adding, "The combination of Butler and Green reminds me of the two players of Jordan and Pippen." "The organic defensive connection is a combination of amazing intelligence, athletic ability, and versatility of the two players. They certainly have aspects similar to those of Jordan and Pippen."
Coach Steve Kerr was a member of the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s. As a six-man shooter, Kerr was recognized by Jordan.
During the practice game, Trash Talking became a physical fight. Afterwards, Jordan admired Kerr's desire to win and began to respect her.
Kerr also does not carelessly mention Jordan and Pippen's names. He respects and respects former teammates. However, it was different this time.
The media said, "Coach Steve Kerr doesn't throw the names of his legendary teammates lightly. He said, "I know what it means to compare Jordan and Pippen to someone," adding, "Coach Kerr's mention of Jordan and Pippen is that much of a strong compliment to Butler and Green."
Golden State brought Butler just before the NBA trade deadline this season.
Upon acquiring him, Golden State began to skyrocket. The combination of Stephen Curry's three-pointer, represented by Face & Space, and Butler's free throws at Old School upgraded their offense.
Curry was absent due to an ankle injury, but Golden State's momentum did not break. It is because of stable defense.
Golden State's team defense has transformed strongly as Green and Butler have formed a core in defense. 바카라
CBS Sports said, "Golden State has gone 16-4 since recruiting Butler. With Curry, we got superstar wing resources, and we've got gears we haven't seen in the Warriors since we last won a championship in 2022," adding, "With Butler, our offense has improved considerably." However, defense is the driving force behind their rise to the top western powers. Since recruiting Butler, Golden State has ranked second in the NBA's defensive evaluation (No. 1 is Detroit), and Butler's defense has maximized Green's defense.
"Green has emerged as a defender of the year for the past 20 games. Due to Victor Wembanyama's injury, the competition for this year's defender of the year has turned upside down. However, Green effectively blocked Antetokounmpo and is qualifying as a defender of the year. Butler and Green have similar sense of defense and can control opponent teams' offense by combining them with their versatility to cover multiple positions."
