Veteran Boston Celtics floor general Jrue Holiday played a pivotal role as the starting point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks over the last few seasons, contributing significantly to their championship victory in 2021. Holiday’s desire to finish his career with the Bucks was disrupted by an unexpected trade to the Celtics in the 2023 NBA offseason.
Holiday’s personal connection to Milwaukee, coupled with the circumstances of his trade, adds a layer of motivation for the Celtics point guard, even though Holiday plays that aspect of the unexpected trade down in the public eye. Despite his quiet demeanor, Holiday is known for playing with passion, and what we’ve seen from him so far in Boston only underscores that tendency.
In a recent episode of ESPN’s “NBA Countdown,” Kendrick Perkins, Chiney Ogwumike, and Brian Windhorst join Malika Andrews to talk it over.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear their talk in full.
