Steph Curry names Bucks star among league's best defenders

Warriors star Steph Curry, speaking on The Today Show, was asked to name the toughest defenders he has faced in his career.

One of the first names on the list was the Milwaukee Bucks defensive juggernaut Jrue Holiday. 

Curry gave high praise to Holiday, revealing the difficulty he has encountered over the years when being guarded by the veteran defensive guard. 

“There’s a group of three that always ... the lightbulb went off when they were on the court. It’s Jrue Holiday, Tony Allen, and Ron Artest, actually,” Curry said.

Holiday has made it to the All-Defensive First Team three times, and twice to the All-Defensive Second Team.
