Talking to JJ Redick on his podcast 'Old Man and the Three', Kevin Durant expressed his discontent at the absence of Holiday from the NBA All-Defensive teams.

"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."
