Gritty Playing Lockdown Defense on a Couple of Nuns
Published:
Back to business for Gritty, who Monday was exonerated after a brief assault investigation by Philadelphia Police. Turns out they could not find evidence that the Gritmeister punched a 13-year-old boy in the back during a Flyers’ photo-op for season ticket holders.
So Gritty was back at it today, visiting some school and playing suffocating defense on a couple of nuns, swatting one and then taunting her for good measure:

Pretty good technique here.
Gritty moves well laterally, keeps his hands up, and doesn’t reach. Then he’s able to switch onto another sister effortlessly, because he’s such a dynamic defender, somebody who can defend both point guards and shooting guards.
Gritty is having nun of that.
