With Jokic, and he's in amazing condition, I would always have pressure on him at all times. If he inbounds the ball, I would kind of remember how they would guard Shaq, where it's like, you're not meeting Shaq at the free throw line. You're not waiting for Shaq. You have to start touching his body around half court to slow up his momentum, or else he's going to get too deep.

You don't get to meet Shaq. Like, I'm not saying that meet him at half court, but if you're running with Shaq, you have to meet him with force earlier, right? So he doesn't get deep in the paint. I think with Jokic, if you are constantly picking at him, you know, I don't want to say full court press, but if he's bringing the ball up, make him work. Chet, get up there. This is a lot for you.

We know. But Chet, if he's inbounding the ball, we want you to be up at full court pressure. That takes a second and a half off of Jokic moving the ball. Now, you're still going to have to switch up the defenses. You're going to have to still switch up the defenses. But still, let me give you an example with J. Kidd. J kid legend. We played them Dallas versus Spurs.

I think it was two versus seven. And I told pop, I'm like, Hey, normally Jason kid takes offense. If a guard tries the full court, press him. He's like, excuse me. And then he will embarrass the guy. Like, don't do this. If you want to do this, we can do this. The Jason quick kid will full court, press you and you won't take the ball.

So if you're going to disrespect me in full court pressure, I'll do it on the other side. Well, when we played against him, Jason Kidd was a little bit older. And I'm like, hey, Jason Kidd, because guards have always been afraid to like press up on him. Understandably, I'm not disrespecting Jay. Jay, this is a compliment.
