easiest way to describe it is...

Brushed is like a normal car, with a normal gearbox, you ease off the power, and the engine slows the car down

Brushless is more like an automatic, when you ease off the power, the gearbox allows the car to free-wheel. Because of this, brushless ESC's either have no motor-breaking or they use a small amount of drag brake to make the motor 'feel' like a brushed motor off power.
